Myocardial infarction (MI) refers to a disease in which the blood supply to the myocardium is insufficient due to coronary artery disease, which eventually leads to partial myocardial necrosis, and is also a serious manifestation of coronary heart disease. Myocardial infarction is often preceded by some related manifestations, including angina, arrhythmia, etc. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, this disease is mostly related to pathogenesis such as "heart paralysis" and "blood stasis". This article will combine the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical knowledge to explain the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction and related first aid measures.
Myocardial infarction is often preceded by certain premonitions and prompts. The main manifestations are chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest pain and other symptoms, often during physical activity or after emotional agitation. This is a manifestation of angina pectoris due to insufficient blood supply to the myocardium due to coronary artery disease. In addition, some people may also have other early warning signs before the onset of myocardial infarction, such as weakness in the limbs, nausea, vomiting, etc. These symptoms should be taken seriously and further examination and treatment should be carried out in a timely manner.
The occurrence of myocardial infarction is related to a variety of factors, including atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, changes in blood rheology, etc. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the onset of myocardial infarction is mainly related to "heart palsy" and "blood stasis". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heart palsy is a pathological state in which heart qi and blood are insufficient, which can lead to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases such as angina. Blood stasis refers to blood clotting in the blood vessels of the heart, resulting in poor blood flow and aggravating myocardial ischemia. The methods of myocardial infarction in traditional Chinese medicine mainly include dredging the heart pulse, invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, etc.
For first aid in myocardial infarction, the first step should be to call the emergency aid** immediately to ensure that the patient receives prompt medical attention. While waiting for the ambulance, we can take the following steps to administer first aid. First, it is important to maintain the patient's mental calm and avoid excessive tension or fear. Second, keep the patient in a quiet position, either with their head elevated or lying flat. At the same time, patients are encouraged to take deep breaths to boost oxygen**. In the course of first aid, nitroglycerin, aspirin and other drugs can be given to relieve symptoms according to the specific situation of the patient, but the doctor's guidance and drug use principles need to be followed.
In conclusion, myocardial infarction is a serious cardiovascular disease, and patients should seek medical attention and receive professional advice in a timely manner. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the onset of myocardial infarction is related to the pathogenesis of "heart paralysis" and "blood stasis". During first aid, we should quickly call the emergency service** and take appropriate measures to relieve symptoms while maintaining the patient's mental calm and comfortable position. Only timely and effective first aid and ** can reduce the damage of myocardial infarction and improve the survival rate and quality of life of patients.
