Heart to the point of doing stents, in the end is considered a major disease?
For middle-aged and elderly friends, they are most worried about cardiovascular disease, but in recent years cardiovascular disease is indeed a frequent disease, and like cerebral infarction, thrombosis and so on is very common, and like the incidence of heart disease is also an increasing trend every year.
Now the medical technology is more and more developed, when it comes to coronary heart disease, the first thing that comes to mind is a means of treatment, that is, cardiac stents, and in recent years the use of cardiac stents more and more, it seems that this has become a kind of minor surgery, according to statistics, there are millions of people in our country every year to receive cardiac stents.
Cardiac stents, also known as coronary stents, are a commonly used medical device in cardiac interventional surgery, which can play a role in expanding blood vessels, and can open up narrowed blood vessels or blocked blood vessels in such a way as to make blood circulation smoother.
Is getting a heart stent a big deal?
Above we have also mentioned that millions of people receive heart stents every year, and because this procedure is very common, so that for doctors seem to have become a minor surgery, once there is a problem with coronary artery disease, many hospitals will recommend cardiac stenting, but not all coronary artery disease patients need to do cardiac stents, after all, our body has its own immune system, so that he also has a kind of immune system. The heart stent belongs to a kind of obligation, so implanted in the blood vessels is also a certain risk.
So what are some of the conditions that need to be met to get a heart stent?
1, if the patient's coronary artery is found to have moderate to severe stenosis, the success rate of cardiac stent implantation is high, and the death rate can be better reduced.
2. The electrocardiogram shows an ST elevation type of acute coronary syndrome.
3. Unstable angina and non-ST elevation acute myocardial infarction.
4. Stable angina pectoris with recurrent episodes after drug treatment and stenosis of more than 50% in one or more main vessels.
Because of the above situations are very likely to make the patient's myocardium serious ischemic necrosis, and may even induce heart failure, or the heart stops beating, thus seriously threatening our life safety, so that if the above situations to do cardiac stenting, then belong to the big disease.
And cardiac stent surgery is relatively high cost, a cardiac stent requires tens of thousands of dollars, which is not that ordinary families can afford, and coupled with a series of hospitalization costs, may be as high as more than a hundred thousand, which is a huge cost for ordinary families, although many of the major diseases have been included in the medical insurance reimbursement scope, but the cardiac stent surgery is not a major problem. Although many major diseases are now covered by medical insurance, cardiac stents for heart disease have not been included so far.
Of course, if one's condition is not serious enough to warrant it, then after being diagnosed with coronary artery disease, one may not choose to have a cardiac stent in the first place, but one must change one's lifestyle, first of all, by quitting smoking and drinking, by quitting bad dietary habits and habits, and by taking medications in accordance with the doctor's instructions, and then, if the condition is still deteriorating even after all of this, then one must finally choose to have a cardiac stent. The first thing you need to do is to get a stent, and then you can get a stent.
