The fall and winter seasons are also the time when myocardial infarction is prevalent, and people with a family history of the disease need to pay special attention to it, especially when the symptoms of chest pain, it is necessary to immediately seek medical treatment. In order to save the myocardial infarction patients in the golden time, the current hospital will be allowed to carry out cardiac catheterization disposal, give stent placement to open the blocked coronary artery.
There are problems with coronary heart disease, including myocardial infarction, for which there is now a cardiac catheterization process to provide perfect medical care. (Photo mention ／ Hsinchu Makai Hospital)
A Mr. Chen, in his 20s, has no history of risk factors such as coronary heart disease, but has a family history of myocardial infarction in his parents. A few days ago, Mr. Chen suddenly felt severe chest pain at work and was diagnosed with myocardial infarction by a physician. Fortunately, the patient's right coronary artery, which had been completely blocked by a stent, was opened and recovered well.
The cardiologist at Hsinchu's Makai Hospital, Dr. Boring Yuan, said that myocardial infarction is caused by a fat-rich plaque rupture in the blood vessels, producing an acute embolism, blocking the blood vessels, causing the blood to be unable to pass through, and making the cardiomyocytes hypoxic or even dead. Most plaques are stable, but some are fragile and can rupture easily when subjected to an external ***, resulting in an embolism.
In order to enhance medical care for patients with coronary artery disease, MHH introduces the latest high-tech Siemens fluoroscopic X-ray machine and various catheterization equipment, intravascular ultrasound (IVSU), and flow reserve fraction (FFR) measurements, which can provide rapid and urgent coronary interventions for acute myocardial infarctions, and stenting and peripheral vascular interventions for complex coronary interventions.
The newest and most advanced FFR measurement system is the FFR (Flow Reserve Fraction) measurement.
Liu Ming-en, director of cardiology at Hsinchu Makai, reminds us that because myocardial infarction may not have obvious symptoms at the time of the attack, or only have symptoms of chest pain, which is easy to be ignored, it is recommended that the public should develop the habit of regular health checks. Prevention is better than cure, we should pay attention to our health; if you suddenly feel uncomfortable in the chest, breathing is not smooth, you need to immediately go to the nearest medical center to seek medical treatment, for the most rapid and effective medical treatment.
