Patients with coronary heart disease can drink tea, but it is advised to consume light tea in daily life rather than strong tea. Specifically for coronary heart disease, green tea is more suitable as it helps prevent the condition. However, for those with coronary heart disease who also suffer from anemia and poor spleen and stomach function, it is recommended to limit green tea consumption. Additionally, drinking strong tea may cause some individuals to experience arrhythmias, increased heart rate, and sometimes disturb sleep, further aggravating these cardiac symptoms.

Can coronary heart disease be cured?

Can coronary heart disease be cured? Objectively speaking, the current treatment of coronary heart disease mainly focuses on controlling the progression of the disease, relieving symptoms, improving the quality of life, and improving the prognosis, but it cannot completely cure coronary heart disease. Firstly, the cause of coronary heart disease is the major blood vessels supplying the heart, the coronary arteries, undergoing atherosclerosis and narrowing, leading to insufficient blood supply to the heart, ultimately resulting in angina and heart failure. Therefore, the fundamental cause of coronary heart disease is the pathological changes in the coronary arteries, and the reasons and fundamental mechanisms causing these changes are not entirely clear, and are related to factors such as high blood lipids, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, age, smoking, family history, etc. Thus, the main treatment for coronary heart disease currently is to improve lifestyle, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, control blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids, and use aspirin or antiplatelet drugs to inhibit the aggregation of platelets and prevent thrombosis.

Can coronary heart disease patients soak their feet?

People with coronary heart disease can soak their feet, but it is recommended not to do so during an angina attack. When soaking feet, the high water temperature causes the capillaries in the lower limbs to dilate, increasing blood supply to the lower limbs, which can correspondingly reduce the blood supply to the heart, easily leading to myocardial ischemia and angina attacks. Additionally, the soaking should not be too long, and the water temperature should not be too high. It is suggested that a 10-minute soak is appropriate, and a water temperature of around 37 to 38 degrees Celsius is advisable. Too high a temperature is not beneficial for patients with coronary heart disease.

Coronary heart disease is caused by what?

Coronary heart disease is caused by the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis, leading to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. The exact cause of coronary atherosclerosis is not yet clear. Extensive research indicates that the formation of atherosclerosis involves various factors including arterial wall cells, extracellular matrix blood components, local hemodynamic environment, and genetics. Key risk factors include abnormalities in lipoproteins, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, elevated homocysteine, reduced physical activity, and old age. The condition primarily starts with damage to the endothelium and gradually progresses from there.

How long can coronary heart disease last?

Coronary heart disease, although having an annual sudden death rate of about 1%-5%, can significantly reduce the mortality rate with standardized treatment. There is currently no medical prediction on how long someone with coronary heart disease can live, as advances in medicine mean that as long as one undergoes standardized treatment using the most scientific, advanced, and regulated methods, and also pays attention to their lifestyle and conditioning, their lifespan should not be affected.

Which department should I go to for coronary heart disease?

Coronary heart disease, formally known as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, is a type of ischemic heart disease caused by the atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, and one should register with the department of cardiology. Coronary heart disease can cause significant harm to the body and requires treatment under the guidance of a cardiologist in the department of cardiology. Effective medications are used to relieve symptoms, improve myocardial blood supply, and treatments commonly include methods such as dilating the coronary arteries, invigorating the blood, nourishing the myocardium, and regulating blood lipids, to prevent the progression of coronary heart disease.
