This National Day holiday
The temperature seems to be on a roller coaster
From the beginning nearly 40℃
to around 14℃ in the past few days
The temperature dropped sharply
Causes fatal and dangerous disease - The high incidence of aortic dissection
During the National Day holiday 6 days
only Nanjing Gulou Hospital Cardiothoracic Surgery
11 patients with aortic dissection
Which people are prone to aortic dissection? How to prevent
?
Jin Min, attending physician of the Department of Cardiac-thoracic surgery in Nanjing Gulou Hospital, introduced that generally speaking, blood vessels have three layers, and the innermost layer is called endometrium . When the endometrium ruptures, blood will surge into the middle of the blood vessels. At this time, it will separate the three layers of the aorta to form a real cavity and a false cavity.
"At this time, the blood is constantly impacting the broken blood vessels. When the blood vessels further rupture, it will go from a dissection to a completely ruptured state. At this time, the patient will experience a lot of hemorrhagic shock or even death." Jin Min said.
is divided into type A, B type and non-A non-B type according to factors such as the disease site of the dissection. Among them, the mortality rate of patients with type A aortic dissection within 48 hours was as high as 50%. Once the dissection ruptures, the patient may die suddenly at any time.
During the National Day holiday, the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Nanjing Gulou Hospital has admitted a total of 11 patients with aortic dissection, including 8 types A and 3 types B.
"Most patients induced vascular rupture due to hypertension and , forming a dissection. Of course, a few patients are not due to this reason, but may be due to long-term high fat or smoking, resulting in endothelial damage."
Doctor said that more than 70% of acute aortic dissection is closely related to hypertension. Sharp changes in temperature can easily lead to increased blood pressure and increase the possibility of blood vessel rupture.
"The most common thing is sudden and severe chest pain that cannot be relieved. Some people may have back pain or chest tightness , and some patients also have abdominal pain." Jin Min reminds citizens to monitor blood pressure well to ensure that blood pressure remains in a relatively normal range. Secondly, the medication should be used well and sufficiently, and when there is a possible change in blood pressure, the medication should be adjusted in time.
In recent years, patients with aortic dissection in my country have become increasingly younger. Doctors remind young people to develop good eating habits, control their weight, maintain regular daily routines, and strengthen daily exercise. These are very important for preventing acute aortic dissection.
