Many think surgery or medication is the finish line. In reality, post-treatment follow-up is what ensures lasting results.
Why Is Post-Treatment Follow-Up So Important?
Whether you had a stent placed, bypass surgery, or medical treatment, follow-up care is the key to lasting results. Its purposes include:
- Monitoring treatment effectiveness: ensuring stents are open, wounds heal well
- Adjusting medications: optimizing your regimen based on recovery
- Early detection of complications: restenosis, blood clots, etc.
- Lifestyle guidance: helping you build healthy habits
Post-Treatment Follow-Up Schedule
| Timeframe | Recommended Tests | Can Be Done Locally |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month post-op | Blood tests, ECG, phone follow-up | ✅ Yes |
| 3 months post-op | Echocardiogram, stress test | ✅ Yes |
| 6 months post-op | Coronary CT angiography or angiography | ⚠️ Prefer to return to China or find a specialist center |
