About me
Li Haiwen, a master's degree student, associate chief physician, has been engaged in clinical cardiology and cardiovascular disease intervention for 9 years. In 2015, he was transferred from the Cardiology Department of Hainan Medical University Affiliated Hospital to the Cardiology Department of Guiyang Second Traditional Chinese Hospital. He has studied for one year respectively at the Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute and the Cardiac Catheterization Lab of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, focusing on radiofrequency ablation for cardiac arrhythmias and pacemaker intervention therapy. He has passed the Ministry of Health's entrance examination for pacemaker and electrophysiology intervention physicians. He has also undertaken a short-term study visit at the Electrophysiology Center of Korea Goryeo University. His main research direction is the intervention diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, with proficiency in pacemaker implantation (temporary and permanent pacemakers) and coronary intervention therapy as well as left ventriculography.
Proficient in diseases
Specializing in radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmias, able to make rapid and accurate diagnoses and perform radiofrequency ablation treatment for various supraventricular tachycardias. Proficient in independently using the CARTO 3.0 system and Ensite Velocity system to perform radiofrequency ablation treatment for complex arrhythmias such as atrial flutter (left atrium, right atrium) and ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular premature beats, ventricular tachycardia).

Cardiomyopathy is divided into four types.
From a medical perspective, common cardiomyopathies are mainly divided into the following four categories: First, dilated cardiomyopathy, which refers to a type of cardiomyopathy characterized by significant enlargement of the heart, thinning of the ventricular walls, and declined heart function. Second, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which refers to a type of cardiomyopathy primarily characterized by thickening of the ventricular walls. Third, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, a type of cardiomyopathy that is often clinically associated with episodes of ventricular arrhythmias. Fourth, restrictive cardiomyopathy, which is generally considered rare in clinical practice.
How is tachycardia and atrial fibrillation treated?
Treatment of tachycardia and atrial fibrillation mainly involves the following aspects of drug therapy. First, controlling the heart rate. When the heartbeat is too fast, under the guidance of a doctor, β-blockers such as metoprolol or drugs like digoxin can be administered regularly to control the heartbeat and improve symptoms. Second, anticoagulant therapy. Long-term episodes of atrial fibrillation can cause thrombosis in the left atrium, especially in the left atrial appendage. When the thrombus dislodges, it can cause thrombotic complications, such as a cerebral infarction. In such cases, long-term anticoagulant medication is necessary to prevent thrombosis, using drugs such as rivaroxaban or warfarin. Third, surgical treatment, such as radiofrequency ablation surgery, may potentially cure atrial fibrillation.
What does heart disease feel like?
Heart disease is a very common category of diseases in our daily lives, with a wide range of heart conditions. What are the general symptoms or feelings associated with heart disease? They often manifest in the following ways: First, palpitations or arrhythmias. Patients with arrhythmias often experience symptoms of palpitations, which are quite common. Second, chest tightness and chest pain, such as in coronary heart disease or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This type of heart disease often presents with symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain. Third, symptoms of heart failure, such as exertional dyspnea or nocturnal paroxysmal dyspnea. These symptoms are often indicative of heart failure. These three major categories are the most common symptoms of heart disease. If you experience any of these symptoms, be sure to visit the cardiology department of a hospital for a formal examination.
Symptoms and Hazards of Hyperlipidemia
Hyperlipidemia is a common disease in clinical settings, typically characterized by elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels. What are the symptoms of hyperlipidemia and what harm can it bring? Generally, hyperlipidemia does not exhibit prominent clinical symptoms, but a small portion of patients may experience nonspecific symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue. What are the harms of hyperlipidemia? The primary danger of hyperlipidemia often lies in causing, developing, and exacerbating arteriosclerotic diseases. Moreover, elevated triglycerides can increase the incidence of pancreatitis.
Which department should pulmonary hypertension be registered under?
Pulmonary hypertension is becoming increasingly common in our daily lives. Pulmonary hypertension refers to a condition where the pressure in the pulmonary artery exceeds 30 mmHg. If you have pulmonary hypertension and need to see a doctor, you might wonder which department to visit in such a large hospital with many departments. As the name implies, pulmonary hypertension is primarily characterized by an increase in pressure in the pulmonary artery. Therefore, you can make an appointment with the Department of Cardiology. Additionally, the Department of Respiratory Medicine or the Department of Vascular Surgery are also suitable options for seeking treatment.
The harms of ventricular premature beats in triplets
Ventricular premature beats in a trigeminal pattern are a commonly seen arrhythmia in everyday life. On an electrocardiogram, this arrhythmia typically presents as two normal heartbeats followed by one premature ventricular contraction. This pattern recurs repeatedly and is referred to as ventricular premature beats in a trigeminal pattern. When this occurs, many patients may feel palpitations or a pounding heart, or experience chest tightness. Generally, if there is no structural heart disease present in the patient, this type of premature beat is not hazardous and does not warrant concern.
Can atrial septal defect heal by itself?
Atrial septal defect is a relatively common congenital heart disease in infants and toddlers. It is indeed possible for a child's atrial septal defect to close on its own. Some atrial septal defects can close as the child grows. Depending on the severity, atrial septal defects can be categorized into small defects. Generally, if the defect is less than 5 millimeters, it is possible for the defect to close as the child develops. If it has not closed by the age of two, it generally will not close on its own thereafter.
Is there a cure for chronic heart failure?
Chronic heart failure is often a later stage of many diseases, and patients in this category typically exhibit symptoms of recurrent exertional dyspnea. These symptoms are often related to physical activity, overeating, or excessive and rapid infusion of fluids. Many patients often ask their doctors if there is hope for their chronic heart failure, and the answer is definitely yes. Currently, the pharmacological and device treatments for heart failure are highly effective. Under the guidance of a doctor, standardized pharmacological treatment can often effectively improve the symptoms of chronic heart failure.
Are atrial premature beats and ventricular premature beats serious?
Atrial premature beats and ventricular premature beats are very common types of arrhythmia in our daily life. Generally, most atrial premature beats and ventricular premature beats are not serious, do not involve organic heart disease, and usually do not cause symptoms. The occurrence of these atrial and ventricular premature beats is often related to factors such as staying up late, fatigue, anxiety, drinking strong tea, or coffee. If the cardiac ultrasound and blood tests for thyroid function are normal, then these premature beats are not serious and will not affect health. Generally, no special treatment is needed and there is no need for concern.
What is dilated cardiomyopathy?
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a relatively common disease in our daily lives. So, what is dilated cardiomyopathy? It refers to a disease characterized primarily by an enlarged heart and a severe reduction in the heart's pumping function. The cause of dilated cardiomyopathy is often unclear. Its clinical symptoms typically present as symptoms of heart failure, such as exertional dyspnea, or severe orthopnea and profuse sweating. Additionally, arrhythmias are also a common manifestation of dilated cardiomyopathy, such as atrial fibrillation, frequent premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia. If diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, it is essential to visit the department of cardiology at a hospital for specialized treatment and to take medication as prescribed. (The use of medication should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
