During the May Day holiday, Ms. Wang decided to travel. As the plane took off, Ms. Wang suddenly felt chest tightness and almost stopped breathing. When the flight attendant saw Ms. Wang's uncomfortable appearance, she quickly took out the "quick-acting heart-saving pills" for her to eat. After eating it, Ms. Wang suddenly felt much more comfortable.
After the plane landed, Ms. Wang went to the airport infirmary. After preliminary examination, it was confirmed that Ms. Wang had arrhythmia, and further examination was suggested.
"I have been in this situation for many years. Although it has worsened in recent months, isn't it the cause of menopause? " Ms. Wang asked. "There must be something wrong with your heart, so you must do further examination," the doctor told her seriously.
So, Ms. Wang came to the Department of Cardiology of the 3A Hospital. Coronary angiography showed that coronary artery stenosis reached 90%, and ECG also showed myocardial ischemia, which required stent treatment.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a heart disease caused by coronary atherosclerosis, which leads to stenosis or obstruction of vascular lumen and myocardial ischemia, hypoxia or necrosis. Generally, it can be divided into five clinical types: asymptomatic myocardial ischemia (occult coronary heart disease), angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease and sudden death.
Clinically, it is often divided into stable coronary heart disease and acute coronary syndrome. Often induced by physical activity, emotional excitement, etc. Sudden precordial pain, mostly paroxysmal colic or squeezing pain, can also be a sense of oppression. Ms. Wang's angina pectoris is not obvious, mainly because she feels depressed, because she has been complicated with menopausal syndrome, so she has been ignored by herself. In addition, other heart diseases, such as some congenital heart diseases and heart tumors, can also lead to chest tightness.
