Dr. Zhang Jianbin
It is relatively effective. Patients are advised to get plenty of rest in daily life and maintain a good mental state. Regarding diet, they should consume more high-calorie, permeable foods, which may have some impact on the underlying disease. If a patient develops pericardial effusion, diuretics can be used for treatment. It is recommended that patients eat more vegetables and fruits regularly.
