The goals of sanatorium-resort treatment of postinfarction cardiosclerosis are to slow the progression of heart failure, conduction and heart rhythm disorders, and to prevent the proliferation of connective tissue.
It is impossible to cure the disease, so all the efforts of doctors are spent on maintaining the life and condition of the patient. Diuretics, metabolic agents and beta blockers are prescribed to prevent arrhythmias. Peripheral statins, beta blockers, antiplatelet agents, diuretics, antiarrhythmic drugs, etc. are prescribed.
Contraindications
- Coronary heart disease: angina pectoris of 111-1V functional classes, unstable angina pectoris.
- Circulatory insufficiency above grade 1.
- Myocarditis in the active stage.
- Cardiac arrhythmias: atrioventricular block of 11-111 degrees, frequent extrasystoles of more than 5 per minute, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia, ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia.
- Obliterating thrombangitis with a tendency to generalization, fresh ulceration, gangrene.
- Thromboembolic disease.
- Arterial hypertension of the third degree.
Treatment results
As a result of proper treatment, it is possible to avoid the development of heart failure, dangerous rhythm disturbances and prolong active longevity. As a result of surgical intervention, there is an improvement in the functioning of a viable myocardium.
Consequences of lack of treatment
Postinfarction cardiosclerosis is a disease that forces the patient to regularly monitor his condition. Omissions can lead to irreversible consequences – the development of aneurysms, life-threatening rhythm disturbances, progression of heart failure and disability.
Постинфарктный кардиосклероз – форма ишемической болезни сердца, которая характеризуется частичной заменой сердечной мышцы тканью в исходе инфаркта. У человека появляется одышка, быстрая утомляемость, отеки и нарушается сердечный ритм.
