Aortic dissection is a serious vascular disease that can be even more harmful than a myocardial infarction. Aortic dissection is a tear in the inner layer of the aorta that causes blood to flow through the dissection, which can lead to a rupture of the aorta in severe cases, which can be life-threatening. In order to prevent the occurrence of aortic dissection, we need to take a series of measures.
1. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the key to preventing aortaThe foundation of the mezzanine
1. A balanced diet is key
You should eat more fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc., and reduce the intake of foods that are high in fat, salt, and sugar.
2. Moderate exercise is also a mustIndispensable
You can choose an exercise method that suits you, such as walking, running, swimming, etc., at least 3 times a week for more than 30 minutes each time.
3. It is also very important to quit smoking and limit alcohol
Tobacco and alcohol have a very damaging effect on blood vessels, and long-term high intake can increase the risk of aortic dissection.
2. Regular physical examination
Aortic dissection usually occurs in the absence of symptoms, so it can only be detected early by a physical examination. Regular measurement of blood pressure is necessary, and hypertension is one of the important risk factors for aortic dissection.
In addition, regular checks of blood lipid levels are also necessary, as high cholesterol and high triglycerides can increase the risk of aortic dissection.
If there is a family history, more attention should be paid to regular physical examinations, as genetic factors are also one of the important causes of aortic dissection.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise and overwork
Strenuous exercise and overexertion can increase the heart's workload, leading to increased blood pressure and an increased risk of aortic dissection.
Therefore, you should choose a moderate exercise intensity when exercising to avoid overexertion. If you have a chronic disease such as high blood pressure, you should follow your doctor's advice and avoid excessive exercise.
4. Maintain mental health
Long-term undesirable emotions such as stress, anxiety and depression can lead to increased blood pressure and increase the risk of aortic dissection. Therefore, we should learn to relax ourselves and maintain a good state of mind.
You can relieve stress and maintain your mental health by listening, reading, traveling, etc.
5. If it has been diagnosedFor aortic dissection, timely** is crucial
Aortic dissection usually involves both medication and surgery. Medications** are used to control the condition by lowering blood pressure and reducing the load on the aorta.
Surgery** is usually surgery to repair a tear in the inner layer of the aorta and restore normal blood flow. Therefore, if you are diagnosed with aortic dissection, you must actively cooperate with the doctor's ** and do not delay time.
Summary: The key to preventing aortic dissection is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, regular check-ups, avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion, maintain mental health, and be prompt.
Only through these measures can we effectively prevent the occurrence of aortic dissection and protect our own health.
