Angina patients increase from 667,456 in 2018 to 705,722 in 2022
Today, Friday the 12th, at 9:55 p.m., EBS1 <명의> ‘Unblock the clogged heart blood vessels!’ In this episode, major broadcasts related to cardiovascular disease were archived.
The most frightening thing about cardiovascular disease is that it is a disease that can lead to death without warning. It is a fatal disease in which heart blood vessels suddenly rupture or become blocked, causing death of heart muscle tissue or cells and the risk of sudden death. What kind of treatment should I receive when my heart is blocked like this?
We learn about the symptoms, risk factors, surgical methods and treatments of myocardial infarction and angina pectoris with four cardiovascular disease specialists: Professor Kim Hyo-soo of the Department of Cardiology, Professor Jae-woong Choi of the Department of Cardiology, Professor Won Kim of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, and Professor Deok-woo Park of the Department of Cardiology.
The heart supplies blood to the entire body and acts as a pump for our body. What is the cause of sudden, severe heart pain? The narrowing or blockage of blood vessels caused by cholesterol accumulating in the heart blood vessels, the passageway of life, is called ‘arteriosclerosis.’ As arteriosclerosis worsens, coronary arteries narrow, causing cardiovascular diseases such as angina or myocardial infarction.
Chest pain that was overlooked without notice
A woman in her early 80s went to an herbal medicine store because she was out of breath and her heart was tight. Even though she received acupuncture, the pain did not go away. She ended up having a stent implanted two days after she was admitted to the hospital. The reason was her ‘angina’. Angina is a disease that occurs when the coronary arteries of the heart become narrowed due to arteriosclerosis.
The common treatment for angina is to insert a stent to widen the blood vessels. How is a patient who has undergone two stent procedures doing after the procedure? We learn about cardiovascular disease procedures and surgical methods through cases of patients with various cardiovascular diseases, and learn about the lives of patients after suffering from the disease.
Angina pectoris, if left untreated, can lead to myocardial infarction
A man in his early 50s who felt chest pain when exercising. When he ran at the gym, his chest felt sore and tight, but he thought it was due to reflux esophagitis. Unstable angina pectoris was discovered only after a detailed diagnosis. Because his blood vessels were narrowed and the length of the blocked blood vessel was long, he could not receive a stent procedure. Instead, he underwent coronary artery bypass surgery by harvesting blood vessels from the thigh and chest side of the heart.
The typical symptoms of angina are shortness of breath and chest pain. In the beginning, symptoms only appear during strenuous exercise or activity, but as it gets worse, pain can be felt even during daily life. If heart pain is ignored and ignored, the narrowing of blood vessels can worsen and eventually develop into myocardial infarction. Learn about symptoms that may indicate cardiovascular disease.
You need to change your lifestyle habits
A man in his late 60s who underwent stent surgery 20 years ago and continues to visit an outpatient clinic. He also had diabetes, putting him at greater risk for cardiovascular disease. He underwent the procedure for a blockage in his right coronary artery, but has had to undergo the procedure several times since. What kind of lifestyle habits actually affect cardiovascular disease?
Depending on the blood flow, angina can be controlled without surgery by taking medication, or stent surgery may be necessary. If I have had a stent procedure, how should I manage it so that I can live a healthy life without restenosis? Find out about measures to prevent recurrence of cardiovascular disease emphasized by four doctors, and hear from them about how to manage your lifestyle habits.
