Recently, cold air has been coming frequently.
The temperature varies greatly.
The reporter reporter from Tianyou Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology.
Tongji Tianyou Hospital).
The Department of Cardiovascular Medicine learned.
Nearly two months
The hospital admits patients under the age of 40
There are more than 50 cases of myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease
Doctor reminds
If you have persistent chest pain, you should see a doctor promptly
Young people should not be careless!
Mr. Zhou (pseudonym) is 30 years old. At 5 a.m. on Nov. 10He suddenly woke up from his sleep, felt discomfort in his chest, unbearable pain, and experienced symptoms such as profuse sweating, nausea, and difficulty breathingStill conscious, he immediately dialed "120" for help.
He was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where an electrocardiogram and consultation with a cardiovascular physician confirmed acute extensive anterior myocardial infarction. After obtaining the consent of the family, the doctor starts the catheterization laboratory with one click and begins to perform the puncture. Unexpectedly, during the operation, Mr. Zhou suddenly had ventricular fibrillation and was in critical condition. Seeing this, the doctor immediately rescued Mr. Zhou and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation 4 times. Two minutes later, he regained sinus rhythm and turned the corner from the rest.
The doctor said, "When the weather gets colder, the number of patients with sudden heart attacks increases. Recently,The youngest patient ever treated was a 23-year-old man who was drinking with friends in the early hours of the morning, causing a heart attack.
Know your risk factors for myocardial infarction
Be a "confidant".
Zhang Yongguang, director of the cardiovascular department of the Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Southern Medical University, reminded that winter is a period of high incidence of cardiovascular diseasesOnce you have chest pain, tightness, and sweating, you should immediately stop the activities in your hands, keep lying down and resting, and avoid emotional agitation. If you have first-aid medication at home, such as fast-acting heart pills, you can take it yourself. At the same timeCall 120 or go to a nearby hospital for medical treatment, the sooner the better, the sooner the better.
With the acceleration of the pace of life and lifestyle changes, cardiovascular diseaseIt showed a trend of younger and all-age groupsIt is not uncommon for young people in their twenties and thirties to be diagnosed with myocardial infarction, or even sudden death as a result. Zhang Yongguang said, "Compared with the elderly,Heart attacks in young people are often more dangerous because of the suddenness of onset and the absence of collateral circulation. I hope everyone can understand these risk factors of myocardial infarction and be a "confidant".
1.Vasoconstriction
The cold environment in winter stimulates the body's sympathetic nerves to maintain body temperature by constricting blood vessels to reduce heat loss. When blood vessels constrict, they also increase resistance to blood flow, leading to an increase in blood pressure. As a result, the burden on the heart increases, oxygen consumption increases, and the incidence of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction increases.
2.Thickened, viscous blood
In winter, people's water intake decreases, blood concentration, viscosity increases, and blood flow is slow, which can easily cause blood circulation to slow down, easily lead to thrombosis, block blood vessels, and cause thrombotic diseases such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction.
3.Rapid heartbeat
The cold environment in winter makes the sympathetic nervous system in a state of excitement, the body's metabolism increases, the heart rate increases, and the myocardial oxygen consumption increases, resulting in an increase in the burden on the heart and aggravation of myocardial ischemia. In addition, winter is prone to influenza and respiratory infections, and the inflammatory response will lead to an increased heart rate, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
4.Changes in dietary habits Xi and decreased exercise
In winter, people like to eat some hot and high-calorie things to keep out the cold, and at the same time, the amount of exercise is significantly reduced, which leads to an increase in blood lipids, blood sugar, and weight gain. These are all risk factors for cardiovascular disease. High blood lipids thicken the blood, plaque form, and the burden on the heart increases, which induces cardiovascular disease.
5.Mood swings
Long-term stress and anxiety, emotional instability, mental stress and other psychological factors may also increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
It is understood that there are bad life Xi, for exampleOften stay up late and suffer from severe sleep deprivation
Improper diet for a long time, overeating,
Excessive intake of fat, cholesterol, oils, etc
Severe lack of exercise, stress, smoking and drinking
of young people are more likely to become "candidates" for heart attack.
Cultivate good Xi habits and do not "add blockage" to lifeZhang Yongguang reminds that developing good Xi daily habits can help protect vascular health
1.Keep warm
Patients with cardiovascular diseases in winter should pay special attention to keeping warm, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should not be too large, the room should be ventilated, and clothes should be increased or decreased in time to avoid getting cold.
2.Exercise moderately
Exercise is an effective way to maintain cardiovascular health. Prepare for activity before exercising and hydrate in time after exercise. Generally, moderate-intensity aerobic exercises, such as walking, jogging, cycling, tai chi, swimming, etc., are generally chosen. The amount of exercise is adjusted according to your physical condition and temperature, and it is generally advisable not to sweat, not to breathe, and not to panic.
3.Eat a healthy diet
A healthy diet is an important measure to reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Eat less foods that are high in fat, salt, and sugar (animal offal, fatty meat, fried foods), and eat more foods rich in vitamins, dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc. (fresh vegetables, fruits, soy products, dairy products). Avoid overeating.
4.Hydrate
Properly hydrate every day, thin the blood, maintain the flow of blood, and prevent the formation of blood clots.
5.Take your medications on time
For patients who have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, medications** are necessary to control the condition. You should follow your doctor's instructions and take your medications regularly. Monitor your blood pressure regularly, adjust the dose of your medications in a timely manner, and see a doctor if necessary.
6.Adjust your mindset
Maintaining a positive mindset is also important for cardiovascular health. Learn to manage and reduce stress, keep a happy mood, relax and ease, and avoid negative emotions such as excessive tension, excitement, and anger.
Expert advice: Once the symptoms of a heart attack appear.
You should call 120 for emergency services**.
Strive for the first 120 minutes of myocardial infarction treatment.
Keep these two "120s" in mind
In the event of a heart attack, it can save your life.
