Yangtze River ** Wuhan Client December 18 A man braved the cold to drive for 4 hours and suddenly suffered a myocardial infarction. Recently, all parts of the country have ushered in the strongest cold wave since the beginning of winter, and the temperature in Wuhan has also reached below zero. Doctors remind: cold weather promotes heart disease to enter a high incidence period, and it is necessary to pay attention to preventive measures.
At noon on the 16th, 40-year-old Mr. Wang weakly walked into the outpatient clinic of Donghu Hospital, and as soon as he entered the door, he leaned on the chair and could not move. The attending doctor on duty, Su Hongli, heard the news and diagnosed him with myocardial infarction after careful examination, which improved after emergency treatment, and found the cause of the disease in further inquiry. It turned out that Mr. Wang had just driven 4 hours from Henan to Wuhan in the bitter cold, and he had been working non-stop all the way, and he happened to be in a hurry, angry, cold and tired, which induced myocardial infarction.
According to Su Honghong, myocardial infarction is a potentially life-threatening acute condition in which coronary artery occlusion and blood flow are interrupted, resulting in partial necrosis of part of the myocardium due to severe persistent ischemia, and impaired heart function. Coronary atherosclerosis is common**, and previous heart disease, smoking, diabetes, dyslipidemia, overweight or obesity, unreasonable diet, emotional agitation, weather changes, etc. may induce myocardial infarction.
Su Honghong suggested that the following measures can be taken to prevent myocardial infarction:
1.Quit smoking and drinking: Smoking and drinking can induce coronary artery spasm and increase the risk of myocardial infarction.
2.Good diet Xi habits: develop a low-salt, low-fat and low-cholesterol diet Xi habits, eat less salty, greasy and animal offal, and eat more foods rich in fiber and vitamins.
3.Take measures to keep warm: myocardial infarction can be easily induced when the temperature is low.
4.Prevention of constipation: When constipation occurs, patients are prone to myocardial infarction when they strain to defecate.
5.Avoid overwork: overload of labor increases myocardial oxygen consumption, increases the burden on the heart, and easily causes myocardial infarction.
6.Soothe your mood: When you are emotional, nervous or stressed, you can also easily lead to myocardial infarction.
7.Regular check-up: Regularly go to the hospital for systematic examinations, such as blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure, etc., and find abnormalities and seek medical treatment in time.
For the elderly, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the cold winter is 'dangerous'. Su Honghong emphasized that the elderly with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should pay attention to keeping warm, exercising properly, living regularly and taking medication on time on the basis of paying full attention to the disease, so as to survive the winter safely.
