Chapter 837 (1/2)

Not long after Xu Wei returned to the ward, Xu Fu woke up. I heard that the doctor here and President Guo saved himself. I was still very grateful and said I wanted to see President Guo.

Xu Wei invited Guo Xiang over.

Xu's father was surprised to see Guo Xiang. Unexpectedly, President Guo was such a young woman. He thought he was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.

Women can also be Dean? Still so young?

”Hello, uncle. How are you feeling now?” Guo Xiang asked with a smile.

”Much better, thank you!” Xu's father nodded. No matter how she saved herself, she still had to be grateful.

”You're welcome. Don't say you're Dr. Xu's father. You're a passer-by. We doctors will also help. It's the doctor's duty to save the dead and heal the wounded!” Guo Xiang smiled.

Xu Fu nodded. Dean Guo seemed to be a good man.

”Dad, President Guo also said that your heart disease can be treated.” Xu Wei said.

”Is that ok? Didn't our doctor say no? Say I can't stand it? ” Xu Fu was surprised.

”It's not bypass surgery, it's interventional therapy.” Guo Xiang said.

”What is interventional therapy?” Xu's father and mother asked at the same time. They had never heard of it.

Coronary heart disease is the abbreviation of coronary heart disease.

The human heart is like an upside down cone, and the head and the artery around the heart are like a crown, so it is called coronary artery.

Coronary heart disease is coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.

It refers to that due to abnormal lipid metabolism, lipids in the blood settle on the originally smooth intima, and some lipid substances similar to atherosclerosis accumulate into white plaques, which is called atherosclerotic lesions.

These plaques gradually increase, resulting in stenosis of arterial cavity, obstruction of blood flow, cardiac ischemia and angina pectoris.

Not only heart disease, but also myocardial infarction, heart failure and even sudden death, so coronary heart disease is also a very dangerous heart disease.

People with coronary heart disease usually carry nitroglycerin with them. Once angina pectoris occurs, put nitroglycerin under the tongue and take it. It will be relieved in a minute or two, so it is very important to carry medicine with you.

I'm afraid that if the medicine is gone and not sent to the hospital in time, it may not be rescued.

The main treatment of coronary heart disease is ”bypass”.

The so-called bypass is to take a section of blood vessel from other parts of the patient, and then connect it to both ends of the narrow or blocked coronary artery respectively, so that the blood flow can bypass the narrow artery through the ”bridge”, so as to provide oxygen for the ischemic myocardium and alleviate the symptoms of myocardial ischemia.

However, this operation is a cardiac surgery with great trauma. Although the curative effect is accurate, some patients are not suitable for it.

Interventional therapy is not a surgical operation, but a cardiac catheterization technology. Specifically, through the femoral artery at the root of the patient's thigh or the radial artery on the wrist, the stent or other instruments are put into the coronary artery through vascular puncture, and the stent opens the blood vessels to relieve the coronary artery stenosis.

Guo Xiang introduced the methods of interventional therapy.

”So simple?” Father Xu doesn't believe it.

”Yes, but not everyone can do interventional therapy. It depends on the severity of the disease. If it is too serious, the effect is not obvious.” Guo Xiang said, ”this requires a good inspection.”

”Dad, why don't we try, check it first, and do it early if we can, otherwise I'm really worried about you. What do you want mom to do if we're not around next time?” Xu Wei said.

Xu's father looked at his wife. She must have been scared just now?

Xu's mother also nodded to him. Being able to do it is naturally the best. I'm afraid it's not as easy as president Guo said.
