"No matter which one it is, at this stage the patient definitely needs to receive treatment in our cardiology department, as they have not yet met the surgical criteria," Doctor Dong suddenly declared.
Li Chengyuan merely snorted calmly in response to this statement.
Huang Zhilei and Xin Yanjun both let out an internal "Eh," realizing what the two were arguing over—it turned out to be a dispute over whether the patient should belong to cardiology or thoracic surgery.
In cases of myocarditis, early-stage internal medicine treatment can be quite effective. As long as it's well controlled, there wouldn't be significant complications.
Dilated cardiomyopathy, however, is far more frightening. Internal medicine treatment offers virtually no effective drugs and patients essentially have to wait until the condition worsens enough to require a heart transplant. In other words, if it is dilated cardiomyopathy, surgery in the thoracic department is inevitable someday.
