Patients should understand one of the actions that will be performed for the first time doctors treat heart attacks are evaluating medicines consumed by patients.
This is because there is no single drug that can control all risk factors for heart disease that the patient must take many drugs at the same time.
"The more risk factors you have, the more drugs are given by considering the patient's condition and function of important organs such as the kidneys and liver," said Dr. Dick A Hanafy Sp JP (K) of the current campaign Mother Hospital Living with Heart Disease in Jakarta on Tuesday (02/24/2015).
After heart attack, patients usually experience emotions that go up and down because they think having this disease is near death. It makes long-depressed patients who actually worsen the condition.
"But have heart disease or at risk of heart disease does not mean not to have expectations. Quite a lot of successful survive and remain productive," he said.
He stated, people with heart disease who managed to survive had to change the lifestyle that can make the disease worse or relapse.
"The food and physical activity is very important to note in heart patients, in addition to keeping the mood remained stable, avoiding depression can worsen the condition.
For smokers, people with heart disease should stop the habit. Heart patients should continue to take the drugs to control risk factors.
"Lifestyle changes, there will not be easy without the support. It would be better if the families of patients consult a doctor, dietitian or doctor sport," he said.
