A 45-year-old Mr. Zhao has been feeling dizzy, palpitated, and had a severe fainting recently. He thought he had coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction, so he rushed to the hospital for treatment. As a result, he underwent various heart-related examinations and the results were very positive. It was normal. Finally, under the recommendation of relatives and friends, he went to see a neurosurgery. It was discovered that his heart problem was caused by cervical spine disease , and he was diagnosed as cervicocardiac syndrome.
Cervicocardiac syndrome will cause symptoms of heart discomfort, but it has nothing to do with heart disease.
What is very interesting is that this disease is called Cervical Cardiac Syndrome. There is a word for heart in the name of the disease, and its symptoms include dizziness, dizziness, Chest tightness and angina pectoris seem to be typical symptoms of heart disease, but in fact the cause of the disease has nothing to do with the heart. Instead, it is due to cervical intervertebral disc herniation, which compresses sympathetic nerves , causing the patient to have chest tightness and lung pain. Discomfort and even symptoms such as angina pectoris.
In fact, there are not many cases of cervical-cardiac syndrome, accounting for about 3% of patients with cervical disc herniation. However, since the symptoms are not directly related to the cause, they often go to the cardiology department or internal medicine department, but still cannot find the cause. It is easy to delay treatment.

Cervicocardiac Syndrome Common symptoms are precordial pain, chest tightness, palpitations, or neck discomfort,hand numbness, dizziness and other reactions, which may occur when taking an electrocardiogram ischemic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia , ventricular or early atrial contraction , etc., but myocardial ischemia manifestations are not caused by coronary artery lesions.
It is caused by cervical degenerative lesions, which directly compress or indirectly stimulate the sympathetic nerves near the cervical vertebrae. If drugs are used to treat coronary heart disease and anti-arrhythmia, the effect will often be poor because the right medication is not prescribed.
Cervicocardial Syndrome has a trend of getting younger and younger.
It is worth noting that the onset of Cervical Cardiac Syndrome has a trend of getting younger and younger. Young people like to lower their heads for a long time to play with mobile phones and stare at computer screens for a long time. Become the most common cause of cervical spine disease.
Cervical Spondylosis, Orthopedic Psychiatry, Bone Hyperplasia and Osteoporosis
Long-term playing with mobile phones will cause excessive pressure on the neck. The normal curvature of the cervical spine is reversed, eventually leading to chronic strain. Increased load on the cervical spine is often the result of cervical and cardiac syndrome inducing angina pectoris main factors.
What treatments can be used for cervicocardial syndrome?
The main cause of cervicocardial syndrome is cervical disc herniation, which compresses the sympathetic nerves. Therefore, if you want to treat it, you must solve the problem of cervical disc herniation.
1. Rehabilitation treatment:
Cervical spondylosis, orthopedics, mental illness, bone hyperplasia, osteoporosis
General rehabilitation treatment is hot compress, neck traction and neck muscle exercise training. As for the effects of acupuncture or chiropractic , it varies from person to person. It is recommended to seek treatment from a legally licensed medical unit.
2. Stellate ganglion block:
In addition, there is currently a less invasive stellate ganglion block , which can improve the symptoms of cervicocardial syndrome. It is to stab the stellate correctly with the needle tip. From the ganglion or the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae to the base of the transverse process of the first thoracic vertebra, inject local anesthetic into the sparse connective tissue on the prevertebral muscle membrane to infiltrate the adjacent stellate ganglion and the upper and lower ganglia. The method of blocking sympathetic nerves is used to improve the phenomenon of cervical nerve pain .
3. Installation of artificial cervical vertebra intervertebral disc :
If none of the above conservative treatments can alleviate or improve the cervicocardiac syndrome, in addition to traditional intervertebral disc surgery, the entire intervertebral disc can be removed or implanted in the patient. Own bone, or artificial bone spreader.
Nowadays, most of the surgery is to implant cervical artificial intervertebral disc into . This artificial intervertebral disc is made of a polyurethane core and an outer upper and lower titanium alloy shell.
After implantation, the damaged cervical vertebra can still function without causing load on the upper and lower cervical vertebrae. The postoperative recovery is quick and you can be discharged from the hospital in three to five days. However, medical insurance does not cover and pays for it at your own expense. It costs about 200,000 yuan to download .
