Learn about symptoms, modern diagnostic methods, and advanced treatment protocols available in China's top medical centers.
Understanding Ischemic Heart Disease
Ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, occurs when the heart muscle doesn’t receive enough oxygen-rich blood due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. This can lead to angina, heart attacks, and heart failure. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and rehabilitation specialists to provide comprehensive heart care.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Coronary Angiography: Visualizing blocked arteries.
- Stress Testing: Assessing heart function under exertion.
- Cardiac MRI: Detailed imaging of heart structure.
- Blood Tests: Cardiac biomarkers and risk factors.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve medications, angioplasty, bypass surgery, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support heart function and improve circulation.
- Medications: Aspirin, statins, beta-blockers.
- Interventional Procedures: Angioplasty and stenting.
- Surgical Options: Coronary artery bypass grafting.
- Integrative TCM: Herbs to support cardiovascular health.
