Many patients with coronary heart disease all know that when angina pectoris attacks, they should definitely stay in bed to keep quiet environment. But when the angina attacks combined with cardiac insufficiency, they must adopt semi-supine or sitting; lying down will aggravate the symptoms.

When the general purely angina pectoris attacks, patients just lie down, then angina will soon ease. However if angina has been combined with cardiac insufficiency, most people feel flustered and shortness of breath a few minutes after lying down. While if sit up they can relieve the uncomfortable symptoms. Patients combined with cardiac insufficiency should immediately take semi-recumbent or sitting position as the angina attacks. If patients lie down at once, it will cause more severe myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, leading to myocardial infarction.

Therefore, patients should keep a clear understanding of their disease condition,so as to treat with proper attention. In addition, the diet should be limited to animal fat and cholesterol-rich food.
