Can myocardial ischemia be treated

Myocardial ischemia can be treated.

Myocardial ischemia is a condition of myocardial hypoxia caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries. The goal of treating myocardial ischemia is usually to reduce or eliminate myocardial ischemia, improve heart function, reduce angina pectoris attacks, and prevent serious consequences such as myocardial infarction. Common treatments include general treatment, medical treatment, and surgery. General treatment is a way to promote disease recovery by changing lifestyle, including quitting smoking, controlling blood pressure, lowering cholesterol levels, maintaining healthy weight, regular aerobic exercise, etc. Second, patients can use medication under the guidance of doctors, such as nitroglycerin, nifedipine, metoprolol, etc., which has the effect of dilating coronary arteries, reducing heart load, and reducing cardiac oxygen demand. For patients who do not respond to these treatments, revascularization surgery, such as coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention, may be required.
