Treatment of sequelae of cardiac stent surgery

Many middle-aged and elderly friends, or those with congenital heart disease, choose to undergo heart stent surgery, but they do not know that people will suffer from sequelae after these surgeries. The reason is due to improper care. Then I will introduce to you how to deal with these sequelae.

1. Patients should take medications regularly and pay attention to self-observation. After stent surgery, you often need to take more types and quantities of medications. If you experience symptoms such as skin or gastrointestinal bleeding, fatigue, etc., you should bring the discharge summary and information about the medications you are taking to the hospital as soon as possible. When stent patients receive other treatments and need to stop taking medications, they need to discuss this with their cardiologist.

2. Check regularly. Including checking blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, blood viscosity, etc. If these four indicators cannot be maintained at a good level, the patient will face the risk of recurrence in about half a year. Patients with existing hypertension, diabetes and cerebrovascular disease should pay more attention to the treatment of the primary disease and regular check-ups. Even if there is no primary disease, check up every 2 to 3 months. If the indicators are higher than the normal range, active treatment measures should be taken.

1. Preventive measures include long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs to protect endothelial function and delay the progression of other plaques; control blood sugar, eat more vegetables and fruits, including sugar-free fruits such as tomatoes, oranges, cucumbers, eat less grains, increase exercise and lose weight, and diabetes will naturally get better; to control high blood pressure, the easiest way is to take medicine regularly; bad living habits must be changed, such as quitting smoking, drinking less alcohol, reducing food intake, eating a light diet, the less meat the better, it is best not to eat egg yolks, eat more freshwater fish, drink some milk, and eat more vegetables. After years of unremitting efforts, the blood will be clean, the vascular plaques will be stable, and we will have a long-term healthy body.

After undergoing a heart stent operation, everyone must take care of their bodies in time to prevent various sequelae, which will cause great harm to people's bodies. In daily life, everyone must take care of their health in time to prevent the occurrence of various diseases.
