Coronary heart disease and anemia are not the same type of diseases; they differ in mechanisms of onset, clinical symptoms, and treatment methods. Coronary heart disease is caused by long-term arteriosclerosis, leading to narrowing of the coronary arteries, which causes ischemia and damage to the myocardium, hence it is called coronary heart disease. The treatment for coronary heart disease involves the use of medications to improve blood supply by dilating the coronary arteries, as well as medications to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Anemia is due to a reduction in blood cells, causing ischemia in peripheral tissues and organs, leading to a series of clinical manifestations. Treatment involves supplementing blood or providing hematopoietic elements, depending on the cause of the anemia.

How does one get coronary heart disease?

Coronary heart disease, officially called coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, is mainly caused by long-term elevated blood lipids, leading to arteriosclerosis, reduced elasticity in arterial walls, and thickening of the inner layer of blood vessels. This results in the narrowing of the coronary arteries and insufficient blood supply, which are the primary causes of coronary heart disease. Prolonged insufficient blood supply in the coronary arteries and severe narrowing can lead to angina and even myocardial infarction, posing significant risks to the body.

Can people with coronary heart disease eat durian?

Durian contains a rich amount of vitamins and amino acids, which can enhance the immune system. Additionally, durian is rich in various trace elements, such as potassium and zinc. Patients with coronary heart disease can eat durian, but as durian is high in sugar, it should not be consumed in large amounts by these patients. Patients with coronary heart disease should pay attention to adjusting their lifestyles, such as adopting a low-salt, low-fat diet, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol intake, among others. Moreover, these patients should have a reasonable treatment plan formulated by a doctor, take medication as advised by the doctor, and have timely follow-up check-ups. (The use of medication should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can the symptoms of coronary heart disease be cured?

Firstly, coronary heart disease is caused by coronary artery and arteriosclerotic narrowing of the coronary artery lumen, leading to insufficient myocardial blood supply. From this perspective, coronary heart disease cannot be completely cured, but the symptoms can be alleviated. If the symptoms are alleviated, then the disease can still be fully controlled effectively. Therefore, coronary heart disease is preventable and treatable, but to completely eradicate it, it is necessary to improve the lifestyle, adhere to medication, have regular check-ups, and maintain good follow-up. These aspects can improve the prognosis of the patient to achieve the purpose of no recurrence.

Is angina pectoris coronary heart disease?

Coronary heart disease refers to the occurrence of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, leading to narrowing or blockage of the lumen, causing myocardial ischemia, hypoxia, and necrosis resulting in heart disease. Through different pathological anatomy and pathophysiology, there are five major types, including asymptomatic coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and sudden death. Angina pectoris is one type of coronary heart disease.

Can people with coronary heart disease drink alcohol?

Coronary heart disease, strictly speaking, should not involve alcohol consumption because its risk factors include age, gender, family history, abnormal blood lipids, drinking, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and lack of exercise. Additionally, excessive drinking can easily exacerbate coronary heart disease and provoke heart attacks. However, consuming small amounts occasionally might not immediately trigger or worsen a cardiac incident. Therefore, if you must drink, it is advised to do so in moderation and primarily choose red wine.
