Early coronary heart disease is defined as the stage where atherosclerosis causes narrowing of the arteries but does not yet cause significant symptoms. The goal of early coronary heart disease treatment is to slow or stop the progression of the disease and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. The following are ways to treat early coronary heart disease: 1. Lifestyle changes: Healthy diet: Maintain a balanced diet, increase intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat protein, and reduce intake of saturated fat, cholesterol, and salt. Weight control: Control weight through a healthy diet and moderate exercise to maintain a healthy BMI. Quitting smoking: Smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, and quitting smoking is crucial for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Moderate exercise: moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, running, swimming, etc., can help strengthen heart function and improve cardiovascular health. Stress reduction: relaxation techniques, such as meditation, deep breathing, yoga, etc., can help reduce stress and anxiety. Statins: lower cholesterol levels, slow the progression of atherosclerosis, and prevent cardiovascular events. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor antagonists: help lower blood pressure and improve heart function. Beta blockers: Interventional therapy: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): Percutaneous puncture of a blood vessel, stent placement or balloon dilation of a stenosed vessel to restore patency. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG): Bypass a blood vessel on the surface of the heart to bypass the stenosed site and improve blood supply to the myocardium. 4. Surgical treatment: bypass surgery: if coronary artery stenosis is severe and other treatments fail to improve symptoms, bypass surgery may be needed. Other surgery: such as ventricular aneurysm resection, cardiac resynchronization therapy, etc., choose the appropriate surgical method according to the specific conditions of the patient. It is important to note that treatment of early coronary heart disease should be individualized according to the patient's specific conditions. Patients should follow the doctor's advice, lifestyle changes and medication, and regular follow-up and follow-up. In addition, for high-risk patients, such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc., these diseases should be actively controlled to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. The treatment of early coronary heart disease requires a combination of the patient's health status, severity of symptoms, and treatment goals. Close cooperation between the patient and doctor is essential to develop the best treatment plan and manage the disease. If there is any doubt about the treatment of coronary heart disease, consult your doctor promptly.
