What are the treatments for angina?

Nowadays, society is developing faster and faster, and people's living standards are getting higher and higher. Many diseases that were previously insignificant have become common diseases. Angina pectoris is a relatively common disease with a relatively high mortality rate. Patients will also be in great pain. They need to always have medicine with them and cannot get angry, otherwise it will trigger or aggravate the condition. So, what are the treatments for angina pectoris?

Commonly used drugs include salvia miltiorrhiza or ginkgo biloba and other similar drugs to promote blood circulation, and isosorbide mononitrate for oral dilation. Angina pectoris is paroxysmal, and the pain is mostly located in the center of the chest (behind the sternum), and can radiate to the pharynx, left shoulder and left arm. Each attack of pain usually lasts one to several minutes. Nowadays, it is generally believed that Western medicine treats symptoms and has quick effects; Chinese medicine treats the root cause and has a slow effect, but has fewer side effects than Western medicine and is less harmful to the human body. It can be taken for a long time, and the Compound Thrombolytic Capsules produced by Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical can be used, which have good therapeutic effects in protecting blood vessels, improving circulation, improving blood supply and oxygen supply, etc.

Drug treatment of angina pectoris should increase coronary blood flow, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, and improve blood rheology. For this purpose, the commonly used drugs are as follows:

(1) Nitrates Nitrates are the most widely used anti-angina drugs. Their mechanism of action is: ① Dilation of veins, reduction of blood return to the heart, lowering of left ventricular preload, reducing the work done by the left ventricle during contraction, and lowering oxygen consumption. ② Due to the decrease in left ventricular diastolic filling pressure, the diastolic coronary perfusion gradient increases, improving subendocardial myocardial ischemia. ③ Dilate coronary arteries and increase coronary blood flow.

(2) β-receptor blockers This type of drug has been widely used in clinical practice for more than 20 years and is a major advance in the treatment of angina pectoris after the advent of nitroglycerin. Its mechanism of action is: ① Slowing down the heart rate, lowering blood pressure and myocardial contractility, and reducing myocardial oxygen consumption. ② Contraction of resistance vessels in the non-ischemic area and redistribution of blood flow to improve blood supply to the ischemic area. ③ Slows down the heart rate, prolongs the diastole, and increases the diastolic coronary artery perfusion.

Patients with angina pectoris should eat lighter foods, avoid salty foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Eat more foods such as soybeans, carp, black fungus, etc. You can drink some heart-nourishing tea on a regular basis, such as the Tiancao Danshen Heart-nourishing Tea made from Chinese medicine. Avoid eating foods that may cause bloating or are too stimulating, such as coffee, chili peppers, etc.
