Can coronary heart disease cure angina pectoris?


Building a healthier future together.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a serious cardiovascular disease that is usually incurable, but can be controlled and delayed by treatment and lifestyle changes. The main treatments for CHD include: 1. Drug therapy: Such as antiplatelet drugs, statins, beta blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, etc., to prevent thrombosis, reduce cholesterol levels, improve heart function, etc. Including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), etc., to improve coronary artery stenosis through balloon dilatation, stent implantation or bypass surgery. 3. Lifestyle changes: maintaining a healthy diet, moderate exercise, smoking and alcohol restriction, weight control, blood pressure and blood sugar management are very important for controlling the progression of coronary heart disease. Angina pectoris is a common symptom of coronary heart disease, characterized by chest pressure, pain or discomfort, usually during exercise, emotional agitation or cold. The goal of treating angina pectoris is to relieve symptoms, prevent attacks and improve heart function. For stable angina pectoris, treatment methods mainly include: 1. Medical treatment: Such as nitrates, calcium channel blockers, etc., to dilate coronary arteries and increase myocardial blood supply.2. Interventional therapy or CABG: When drug therapy fails or the condition is severe, doctors may recommend interventional therapy or coronary artery bypass grafting. For unstable angina or myocardial infarction, treatment is usually more urgent and complex, and may require hospitalization and more aggressive interventions. It should be noted that the treatment of coronary heart disease is a long-term process, and patients need to follow their doctor's recommendations. Treat and conduct regular re-examinations and follow-ups. In addition, for high-risk groups, such as family history, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc., prevention and intervention should be carried out in advance to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Key message: Coronary heart disease is usually incurable, but symptoms can be controlled and disease progression delayed through medication, intervention and lifestyle changes. Angina is a common symptom of coronary heart disease and can be treated with medication, intervention, or coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients need long-term treatment and follow-up, and lifestyle changes as recommended by their doctors. Prevention and intervention should be undertaken early in high-risk populations.
