เป็นโรคหัวใจ ทำไมต้องรีบรักษา

<h2>Having Heart Disease, Why Should You Seek Treatment Quickly?</h2>
“If the coronary angiogram shows narrowed coronary arteries, do we still need to have the arteries widened?” This is a frequently asked question during conversations with patients or their families when providing information and advice before the examination.
&nbsp;
First&#8230; let’s understand the role and function of the heart. Our heart is like a water pump that must work continuously without rest. This means the heart has to work harder as we age. If the waterway of the pump or the heart’s distribution path starts to rust or has algae buildup, causing blockage, the water flow becomes restricted or severely narrowed, resulting in poor flow that is insufficient for use. The pump or heart may have to exert more effort or work harder, which can cause the heart to enlarge or become fatigued.
&nbsp;
There are many causes or factors that contribute to coronary artery narrowing. The most obvious is atherosclerosis, caused by changes in the blood vessel walls due to fatty deposits accumulating along the vessel walls, making the arteries rough and narrowed until they eventually become blocked. Other factors include age, genetics, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, stress, lack of exercise, etc. Heart disease symptoms vary, and one in three heart disease patients often have no symptoms at all, leading to the question of why heart disease needs treatment.
&nbsp;
When abnormal heart symptoms are found, such as easy fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, sweating, dizziness as if about to faint, chest tightness, chest pain like something pressing down, with pain possibly radiating to the neck, shoulder blades, jaw, or arms, immediate medical examination and treatment are necessary. If left untreated, it may affect quality of life both in the short and long term. For those with such symptoms, doctors may recommend urgent cardiac catheterization. If the examination shows coronary artery narrowing but not severe or less than 70%, doctors will treat with medication to control and reduce the risk of artery narrowing. If the narrowing exceeds 70%, appropriate treatment involves coronary artery dilation using balloon angioplasty and stent placement to prevent re-narrowing inside the artery. If there are no symptoms or if you are in a risk group for heart disease, you should have your heart function checked, such as treadmill testing or echocardiography. If abnormalities are found, further examination is recommended. You should follow the doctor’s advice even if there are no symptoms or abnormalities in daily life. However, medical treatment, medication, and regular doctor visits must be combined with lifestyle adjustments, such as quitting smoking, getting enough rest, choosing nutritious foods, controlling blood sugar and blood fat levels, managing weight, exercising appropriately, and spending time with family to relieve stress. This will help support heart health, enabling the heart to function efficiently and last longer.
&nbsp;
Treatment at a hospital with specialized cardiologists available 24 hours a day will increase confidence for patients and their families. For consultation, details of examination and treatment procedures, hospital stay duration, risks of treatment or no treatment, and estimated costs for various heart disease treatments, you can inquire through Hotline 1772 available 24 hours.
&nbsp;
Today, have you checked your heart health? Don’t let a silent threat hide in your body. If abnormalities are detected, seek proper and timely treatment. Don’t wait until it’s too late and leads to a heart emergency, which may cause loss, disability, or even death.
