What should I do if my heart vessels are blocked?

Vascular blockage is very common in clinical practice. Many patients may experience symptoms such as dizziness and stuffy brain. Cardiovascular blockage is closely related to people’s lifestyle and diet. For the problem of cardiovascular blockage, patients must pay attention to dietary adjustments.

1. Diet adjustment

Patients with blocked heart vessels should have a light diet and must eat less salt. Salt can cause hardening of the patient's blood vessels and even increase blood pressure. The daily salt intake must be controlled below 5 grams. Patients with blocked heart vessels should not eat animal fats, as animal fats contain very high levels of cholesterol. If the human body has too much cholesterol, the blood vessels will harden faster.

Sweets are also a big taboo for patients with blocked heart vessels. Sweets contain a lot of sugar, which is easily converted into fat in the human body, making people obese and promoting symptoms of arteriosclerosis. Patients with blocked heart vessels may want to eat more foods containing potassium. Potassium can alleviate the harm of sodium to the human body, while promoting the excretion of sodium, which has a blood pressure lowering effect and effectively prevents blockage of heart vessels.

2. Surgery

Thrombolytic therapy for cardiovascular blockage is officially recognized by modern medicine and pathology. On the basis of coronary atherosclerosis, the acute formation of thrombus causes acute occlusion of the vascular lumen, resulting in interruption of coronary blood flow, which is the pathological basis of AMI.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is an interventional treatment for coronary heart disease that has been developed in recent years using high-tech technology. It is suitable for the treatment of coronary heart disease at all stages.

Compared with interventional treatment of cardiovascular blockage and coronary artery bypass grafting, it has the advantages of not requiring open chest surgery, not requiring general anesthesia, and causing minimal trauma to patients. Its degree of revascularization is much higher than thrombolytic therapy, but its efficacy is not as good as coronary artery bypass grafting for some patients, and there is a possibility of postoperative vascular restenosis of about 15%.

3. Bracket

If the blood vessels are blocked by 75%, stents or surgical bypass surgery are needed to restore blood flow in the blood vessels and prevent myocardial ischemia from causing myocardial infarction. According to the current guidelines for heart stent implantation, coronary artery blockage greater than or equal to 75% is an indication for stent implantation. However, the effectiveness of conservative treatment has not yet been determined. Since heart disease is generally severe, the estimation of the condition cannot rely on a single result and requires comprehensive consideration. Therefore, your current question is not easy to answer. However, in terms of coronary artery blockage, if stents can be used, it is best to perform stent treatment, because human individuals vary greatly and it is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of drug control.
