Every time you go to the clinic, most, or even 90% of follow-up patients, do not get the previous examination results.
Every time they communicate, they will say: No, let’s make another one, it won’t cost much!
Actually, we want to take a look at some previous checks and make some comparisons, instead of saying that if you do a new check, you can replace the previous old checks.
For cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , the 5 things I mentioned today are more precious than passbooks and bank cards. What are the 5 kinds of things in
? You will know after reading it?
1. Electrocardiogram
One of the greatest value of electrocardiogram lies in comparison, that is, the comparison between the previous and the present will see if there are any changes. If there are any changes, it can better illustrate the problem.
You said you didn’t even bring the previous electrocardiogram. How can we compare the changes? Even if you do a new electrocardiogram, you will see that the ST segment is lowered, and you will see that the left and right are finished. But are these problems already there or are they new? If there is already, there may be no risk, but if it is new, the risk is relatively high, and it may even be angina or myocardial infarction.
So, our previous electrocardiogram is very important. Every time we see a doctor, it is best to bring the previous electrocardiogram.
2, heart color ultrasound
heart color ultrasound, we want to see if our heart has become bigger? If it gets bigger, how big will it become? Are there new changes in the mitral valve tricuspid valve? Is there any reflux? Is there any reflux aggravation? It turns out that it is mild or moderate or severe, which directly determines the treatment plan. Is the EF value of cardiac function worsening? These must be compared with the previous ones before they can be seen, but you do not have the previous color ultrasound. How do we compare them? So next time you see a doctor, you have to bring the previous color ultrasound!
3, CT or symmetry report
Students who have had cardiac CT or symmetry should be best to bring this report with them every time they see a doctor, because you can't remember how narrow it is. Only with a report can we analyze accurately. If someone wants to have a CT or angiography, especially when you are not in the same hospital, and your CT or angiography is not available on the computer, then even if you have a new CT or angiography, you cannot tell whether it is worse than before, so remember to bring a CT or angiography report!
4, carotid artery color ultrasound
Carotid artery color ultrasound, especially those with plaques, it is best to take the previous report during the review, so as to compare whether the properties of the plaque have changed and whether it has changed from soft plaques to hard plaques. Have the plaque size changed? Otherwise, if you do a new carotid artery color ultrasound, a plaque appears, and you don’t know if it is better or worse than before.
5, head CT or MMI
If you have had head CT or MMI, especially if you have problems, such as cerebral infarction or luminal infarction, it is best to bring a report as well, so that the doctor can more accurately evaluate your cerebrovascular system. Even if there is a review, you can compare whether there are any new infarctions.
Most people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases like to throw away the test results every time they finish the examination. When they go to the hospital next time, 90% of people will not bring the original examination.
So I ask everyone, especially the above five types of inspections, there are already problems. So it is recommended that you save the information well. It is best to bring the previous information when reviewing the next time so that we can compare and make a comprehensive judgment!
The heart is the engine and the brain is the command center. So do you think the inspection results of these two departments are more valuable than passbooks and bank cards?
