On the afternoon of the third day of the Chinese New Year, Yang Duo, deputy chief physician of the coronary artery ward of the heart emergency department of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, spent his time in the operating room. This is also the 24th time he has been on duty during the Spring Festival.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, a taxi driver came to the emergency department of Beijing Anzhen Hospital and said that he had chest pain symptoms for almost a week, and he wanted to endure it for a while, and then seek medical treatment after a few years, but he did not expect that the pain lasted from the afternoon of the second day of the New Year to the next morning, and there was no sign of relief. At this time, the patient was sweating, his blood pressure was reduced, and he had persistent chest tightness, and after a series of examinations, the patient was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction of the inferior wall.
"Acute myocardial infarction is one of the most serious types of coronary heart disease, if the symptoms are not relieved for a long time, the necrotic myocardial area will continue to increase, causing dangerous symptoms such as heart rupture, bradycardia, heart failure, arrhythmia, heart pump failure, etc., resulting in shock or even sudden death." Yang Duo said.
Yang Duo immediately made a decision and immediately activated the green channel, preparing to carry out emergency surgery for patients. Yang Duo has done a lot of such surgeries, and the technique is very skilled, but he still carefully analyzes the patient's situation: the condition of the two heart vessels is not very good, the right crown is completely occluded, and the cyclotron branch produces more than 90% of diffuse lesions... Yang Duo immediately stented the patient to unclog the blood vessels. "As soon as the stent is placed, the patient's heart rate and blood pressure return to a more normal situation." Yang Duo introduced that at present, the patient is being observed in the intensive care unit, and all indicators of the body are relatively stable.

During the Chinese New Year, the number of acute myocardial infarction patients in the coronary artery area of the emergency cardiac department is often higher than usual. In the afternoon of the third year of junior high school alone, Yang Duo performed surgery on two patients with acute myocardial infarction. "Because once the holiday comes, everyone eats, drinks, and stays up late is not very restrained, blood pressure is not well controlled, and the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is very high, I hope that everyone should pay attention to rest during the New Year, eat scientifically, and control blood pressure." Yang Duo said that if there is chest pain and chest tightness, it must not be taken lightly, and it must be treated in time.
The whole afternoon has been operating, which is just a microcosm of Yang Duo's coronary artery area in the heart emergency department. In the past 24 years of practicing medicine, Dr. Yang Duo has been on duty every year during the Spring Festival and has seen too many joys and sorrows. He knows that the people who come here during the Spring Festival are often patients in very critical condition, which makes him and his colleagues feel more responsible.
"No matter when, as long as we are here, as long as we can give them more security and peace of mind, it is worth it." Yang Duo said.
