The throat hurts, which is a minor problem in the eyes of most people: take some medicine, rest more, and get better in a few days. However, this small "discomfort" may be a "life-saving signal" sent by the heart.
One afternoon during the long holiday, Grandpa Zhao, who was in his 70s, was about to rest after lunch, and suddenly felt a sore throat. Due to the special pain, it is not much the same as the usual cold and fever. Grandpa Zhao quickly took a taxi to the fever clinic of Dingqiao Campus of Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
After receiving the treatment, Dr. Zhang Lieming carefully asked about the condition of sore throat. Although there were some difficulties in communication, Zhang Lieming, who was patient, still keenly realized that this sore throat was not simply: it was extremely painful, but it did not have cough cough phlegm.

"Not good! This is not a simple sore throat, it is very likely to be angina pectoris!" After Dr. Zhang Lieming pieced together the various symptoms of Grandpa Zhao in his mind, he came up with a "terrible" speculation. Grandpa Zhao was very puzzled and believed that angina pectoris should be painful in the heart. "Anginal pectoris may not necessarily cause heartache . Some patients with angina will have symptoms of sore throat . We call related pain ." Dr. Zhang carefully examined Grandpa Zhao and prescribed myocardial enzyme and electrocardiogram. Electrocardiogram prompts: The ST segment of lead V1-V5 is significantly elevated, that is, anterior wall myocardial infarction is possible, and the results verified Dr. Zhang's inference.
After clarifying the cause of the disease, Zhang Lieming immediately started the emergency process and asked experts from the Department of Cardiology to conduct consultations. After excluding the possibility of new crown , under the escort of Deputy Director Chen Huizhen of the Department of Infection and Nurses of the Department of Infection, Grandpa Zhao was urgently transferred to the rescue room to enter the chest pain process for emergency treatment.
When undergoing emergency PCI surgery, the intervention team of the Cardiovascular Department found that Grandpa Zhao's anterior descending branch of the coronary artery was 99%, which can be said to be "life hangs on the line." The team put a stent on Grandpa Zhao and reopened the narrow blood vessels. After the operation, Grandpa Zhao's vital signs were stable and the symptoms of "throat sore throat" also improved. Experts from the Department of Cardiovascular Diseases of
have introduced that in recent years, the incidence of acute myocardial infarction and is relatively high, and the risk of death is high. Typical angina pectoris is generally easy to identify, but some atypical angina pectoris are often ignored because of its hidden disease. If the condition is not identified in time, it is very likely to cause a major disaster. In a broad sense, you should be wary of the possibility of angina pectoris when pain from the mouth down to above the navel: some patients have abdominal pain and diarrhea as the main manifestations, while some people will show throat and toothache.
