如今,心脏病已经不像以前那样成为致死性疾病,这主要得益于急救医学的发展,许多心脏病患者(甚至有的患者会不止一次心脏病发作)得以保存性命。对于曾经的心脏病幸存者来说,保护好自己的心脏就理所当然的成为了首要目标。据统计,罹患过心脏病的患者中,有四分之一的男性,三分之一的女性在首次心脏病发作一年内死亡。 Today, heart disease is no longer the fatal disease that it used to be, primarily thanks to the development of emergency medicine. Many people with heart disease, and some even more than one heart attack, save their lives. For the former survivors of heart disease, the protection of their own heart, of course, has become the primary goal. It is estimated that one in four men and one in three women with heart disease die within one year of their first heart attack.
