Diagnose Koronare Herzkrankheit: Risiken vorbeugen – Therapien verstehen (PDF)

By Hans-Joachim Graf von Wchinitz und Tettnau Kinsky, Peter Mitznegg In coronary heart disease (CHD), the arteries that supply the heart with blood can be narrowed by deposits of fat and other substances. This can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle and eventually a heart attack. Early diagnosis can help initiate proper treatment and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. In particular, to reduce the risk of recurrence of a heart attack, it is especially important to lead a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity, a healthy diet, and stopping smoking. The book presents the problems surrounding coronary heart disease and heart attack from the patient’s point of view. Understandably explained, the reader receives the information that is essential and helpful for him: how are the changes in the heart muscle or heart rhythm visible through diagnostic methods (stress echocardiography, CT coronary angiogram, coronary angiography). How do the different medications work? How can invasive procedures such as stents or bypass surgery help? What does a change in diet and physical activity do? For all CHD patients, this guide is recommended to evaluate the individual risk together with the treating physician and together create a plan for the prevention and prevention of a (further) heart attack.
