Treatment of new coronary and cardiovascular disease drugs

There may be competition

Zhou Yujie, executive vice president of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, introduced that after infection with neo-crown to patients with underlying heart disease, especially elderly patients, vascular endothelial function is disturbed, vascular plaques are prone to inflammatory reactions, and the incidence of thrombosis may also increase, leading to aggravation of the original underlying heart disease. Patients are prone to combined hypoxemia during the time period of cough and fever, and some elderly cardiovascular patients have silent manifestations of symptoms that do not manifest as clearly as in younger people.

In patients with underlying disease, who are already taking some medications for the underlying disease, infected with the new coronavirus and taking antipyretic drugs, etc., the water-electrolyte balance may sometimes become impaired if they drink less water. There are overlapping medication problems when combining medications. Drugs for neointimal virus and drugs for underlying cardiovascular disease are metabolized on a “highway”, and they compete, and their effects may cancel out or grow on each other, so they need to be guided by a doctor for medication.

Zhou Yujie said, “Every patient with underlying cardiovascular disease, if infected with neostriatal, do not wait, delay, consumption, must be timely treatment, under the guidance of doctors timely adjustment of drugs.”
