Introduction
Whether variant angina can be cured generally depends on the specific circumstances. Early-stage variant angina can usually be cured, whereas late-stage variant angina may not be curable. Patients can take medications such as enteric-coated aspirin tablets, nitroglycerin tablets, and isosorbide mononitrate tablets under a doctor's guidance.
Whether variant angina can be cured generally depends on the specific circumstances. If it is early-stage variant angina, it can usually be cured; however, if it is late-stage variant angina, it may not be curable. The detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Can be cured
Variant angina is a type of unstable angina caused by myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery spasm. In cases of early-stage variant angina, most patients can achieve a cure after receiving proper medical treatment. Patients may take medications such as enteric-coated aspirin tablets, nitroglycerin tablets, and isosorbide mononitrate tablets under a doctor's guidance.
2. Cannot be cured
However, if symptoms of variant angina are severe, complete cure is often unattainable, and treatment focuses on symptom improvement. Coronary angiography is recommended to assess whether coronary artery lesions exist. If significant coronary artery stenosis is found, stent implantation may be performed.
If you have variant angina, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a hospital and follow your doctor’s instructions for appropriate treatment.
