In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and the improvement of lifestyle, the incidence of coronary heart disease is getting higher and higher, and there is a tendency to become younger. The emergence of coronary heart disease has seriously affected the physical and mental health of patients.
, especially middle-aged and elderly patients, are often accompanied by other underlying diseases. Coronary heart disease is found to be treated and controlled in time, otherwise frequent attacks will cause various complications and even life-threatening
What is coronary heart disease
Coronary artery angiovascular atherosclerotic lesions, causing vascular lumen stenosis or obstruction, causing heart disease caused by myocardial ischemia , hypoxia or necrosis.
WHO divides coronary heart disease into 5 categories:
3, myocardial infarction
4. Asymptomatic myocardial ischemia (hidden coronary heart disease)
5. ischemic cardiomyopathy
risk factors for coronary heart disease
risk factors for coronary heart disease
risk factors for coronary heart disease include variable risk factors and unchangeable risk factors.
The risk factors that can be changed are:
hypertension , dyslipidemia (too high total cholesterol or excessive low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride , and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol), overweight/obesity, hyperglycemia / diabetes .
bad lifestyle includes smoking, unreasonable diet (high fat, high cholesterol , high calorie, etc.), lack of physical activity, excessive drinking, and social and psychological factors.
Unchangeable risk factors include:
Gender, age, family history.
In addition, it is related to infection, such as cytomegalovirus , Chlamydia pneumoniae , Helicobacter pylori, etc.
The onset of coronary heart disease is often related to seasonal changes, emotional excitement, increased physical activity, full food, extensive smoking and alcohol consumption.
What are the symptoms of severe coronary heart disease?
Pain
When you are tired or nervous, there are suffocational pain in the back of the sternum and the anterior heart area, and the contractile pain will occur for a short period of time. can relieve it on its own after resting.
Pussia, dyspnea
The symptoms of coronary heart disease are manifested in palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue and difficulty breathing during physical activities.
Early symptoms of coronary heart disease manifest as suffocational pain in the back of the sternum or anterior heart area, or tightening pain. The occurrence of coronary heart disease will radiate to the left shoulder and left upper arm for 3-5 minutes, and will relieve it on its own after rest.
Daily home management of patients with coronary heart disease
Follow the weather changes
The weather is hot and cold, and the sudden change in temperature will lead to sharp contraction of blood vessels or even spasm , which will lead to a myocardial infarction attack. avoids sharp changes in temperature and will reduce the possibility of coronary heart disease.
In summer, there is air conditioning indoors, but it is very hot outdoors, and there is heating indoors in winter, to outdoors without heating, etc.
The sharp changes in temperature may increase the chance of myocardial infarction. Therefore, avoiding sharp changes in temperature and increasing and decreasing clothes in time will reduce more myocardial infarction.
Focus on emotional changes
Severe emotional fluctuations can induce coronary heart disease, The fast-paced work and life of modern people and the high-stress cost of living are all important reasons for the emergence of emotional disorders. Material life is rich, but spiritual life is poor.
Rapid fluctuations in emotions will increase the possibility of vasospasm or plaque instability, eliminate the tension and fear of coronary heart disease, learn to control emotions, be calm when encountering things, and be lenient to others.
So, avoids radical changes in emotions and reduces the possibility of myocardial infarction.
Take medicine on time
If coronary heart disease has been diagnosed, or related diseases that are prone to induce coronary heart disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., do not take existing medicine.
Poor compliance with medication is another reason for the onset of coronary heart disease. controls blood pressure and blood sugar, and conducts regular secondary prevention of coronary heart disease to avoid the possibility of coronary heart disease complications or myocardial infarction
Develop the habit of defecation on time
When defecation, use gentle force, do not use too much force to prevent sudden rise in blood pressure and induce accidents.
This is one of the management measures for coronary heart disease.
Wash in warm water
Senior patients with coronary heart disease should use warm water to wash. Sudden stimulation of cold water can cause blood vessels to contract and increase blood pressure.
Severe cold stimulation itself is also the cause of angina pectoris, and prevention should be strengthened.
Review regularly
If there are symptoms of worsening angina pectoris, palpitations , tachycardia or hypertension, asthma and edema, poor efficacy after medication, etc., you should seek medical treatment at any time.
