Woman in Phu Tho with acute myocardial infarction has a history of these 4 diseases

GĐXH - The patient was diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction with many underlying diseases including: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and gastroesophageal reflux.

According to information from Hung Vuong General Hospital, recently, doctors here successfully treated a 75-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital with severe chest pain. The patient was diagnosed with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction with many underlying diseases including: high blood pressure, high blood fat, type 2 diabetes, and gastroesophageal reflux.

After admission, the patient underwent percutaneous coronary angiography to determine the state of obstruction and atherosclerosis. The results showed that the patient had lesions in all 3 branches of the coronary arteries with different degrees:

- Left main coronary artery (LM): 30% stenosis.

- LAD: 40-50% stenosis in the proximal segment, 40% in the middle and distal segments, with many calcifications.

- Circumflex artery (LCx): 60% stenosis in the proximal segment and severe stenosis up to 99% in the distal segment at the bifurcation, with extensive calcification.

- Posterior distal artery (PDA): 60% stenosis.

After careful consultation and consideration of the patient's underlying medical conditions, Dr. Peter and his colleagues decided to perform a stenting intervention in the proximal LCx artery (LCx(d)), where there was a severe and dangerous stenosis. This procedure helps restore blood flow to the ischemic heart muscle, preventing the risk of recurrent myocardial infarction.

The stent placement process went smoothly with excellent recanalization results. The medical team worked with utmost dedication and care to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the intervention.

After the intervention, the patient's condition improved significantly. Chest pain symptoms were relieved, and vital signs were stable. The patient has now been transferred to the Cardiology Department for further monitoring and treatment, while adjusting cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipid control.
