What should I pay attention to after cardiac stent implantation?

Heart disease is a very common disease in daily life, which not only seriously affects the life and health of patients, but also affects the quality of life of patients and their families. Some patients with coronary heart disease have chest tightness and shortness of breath due to myocardial ischemia caused by extremely narrow blood supply vessels. But when drug treatment fails, cardiac stent surgery can be considered. So, what should we pay attention to after cardiac stenting?

What details should I pay attention to after placing a heart stent?

1. Take the medicine according to the doctor's advice.

After installing the cardiac stent, it is necessary to take anticoagulants and antiplatelet aggregation drugs for a long time, and it is not allowed to stop taking drugs without authorization. In addition, everyone's physique is different, so the types and doses of drugs are also different. Therefore, when taking these drugs, you should follow the doctor's advice and don't increase or decrease the dose without authorization. In the process of taking these drugs, we should review them regularly. If the drug concentration does not meet the requirements, the dosage should be increased under the guidance of a doctor, and if it is excessive, it should be reduced reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.

pay attention to the diet

After placing the heart stent, try not to eat high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as fat and chocolate. In addition, when cooking, put as little salt as possible and have a light diet. It is wise to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition, after installing the heart stent, one thing should be paid special attention to, that is, you can't drink alcohol. Alcohol will not only damage organs such as the liver, but also increase the burden on the heart.

Take moderate exercise

After placing the heart stent, you can still do some moderate exercise, which can make the blood circulation smooth and enhance the body's ability to resist diseases. However, patients with cardiac stents should pay special attention to exercise and not overdo it. Moreover, they should also choose low-intensity sports, such as walking, jogging and Tai Chi, which are all good choices. In addition, the exercise time should be controlled well, generally no more than 40 minutes, and it is appropriate to sweat slightly.

4. Avoid excessive mood swings

Emotional fluctuations have a great influence on the heart. If the mood swings are particularly large, it may cause coronary artery spasm, leading to heart ischemia and myocardial infarction. People with heart stents should pay more attention to self-regulation to avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.

Prevent catching a cold

A cold will also aggravate the patient's condition, and the heart of patients with cardiac stents will become more sensitive, so change clothes in time when the weather changes to avoid colds.

How long does it take to reexamine after cardiac stenting?

1. After cardiac stenting, antithrombotic drugs are usually used for a long time. After three months, you can check coagulation disorders and B-ultrasound.

2. Blood sugar, blood lipid and blood pressure need to be checked regularly, usually after half a year.

3. Six months after stent implantation, coronary angiography is needed to check whether the stent is recanalized. This kind of examination requires hospitalization.

Coronary artery stenosis is easy to occur again within one year after cardiac stent implantation, and people should pay attention to it during this period. If you have chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital immediately for examination, because this is likely to be a lesion of stent implantation.
