How to protect and prevent coronary heart disease in dog days?

Patients with coronary heart disease often think that "it's hot, blood pressure is normal, so you don't need to take antihypertensive drugs" or "you have a bad appetite and eat less in summer, so you can stop taking antihypertensive drugs". In fact, when the temperature rises, people's blood vessels will expand, and the hypertension of some patients with coronary heart disease complicated with hypertension is easier to control, and there may be cases where blood pressure is still normal without antihypertensive drugs. However, some long-acting antihypertensive drugs taken by patients also have anti-atherosclerosis effects.

Similarly, lipid-lowering drugs not only reduce blood lipids, but also have the effects of anti-atherosclerosis and stabilizing plaques. Therefore, during the treatment of coronary heart disease, antihypertensive drugs or lipid-lowering drugs, especially Guanxinke capsules, should not be stopped in summer, and patients with coronary heart disease need to take them for a long time. If necessary, the dosage should be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor and drink plenty of water to reduce blood viscosity and avoid blood vessel blockage. Therefore, it is necessary to remind the general public to avoid the misunderstanding of coronary heart disease prevention and health care in the dog days of midsummer.
