Be on the lookout for myocarditis: a threat to heart health.
1. Overview of myocarditis.
Myocarditis, as the name suggests, refers to inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium). The disease can be caused by a variety of causes, including infections such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, as well as drugs, toxins, autoimmunity, and other factors. The symptoms of myocarditis vary in severity and range from patients with no obvious symptoms to others with palpitations, chest pain, dyspnea, and even heart failure.
2. Symptoms and signs of myocarditis.
1.Symptom.
1) Chest pain: Patients with myocarditis can have symptoms of chest pain, and the nature of the pain is diverse, such as pressure and burning.
2) Heart palpitations: rapid heart rate or arrhythmia, patients can feel uncomfortable heartbeat.
3) Dyspnea: Dyspnea occurs after activity or at rest, which may lead to shortness of breath in severe cases.
4) Fatigue and fatigue: patients often feel that their physical strength is reduced and their mobility is limited.
5) Fever: Some patients may have fever symptoms.
2.Signs.
1) Heart murmur: Myocarditis may cause abnormal heart valve function and heart murmur.
2) Arrhythmia: Myocarditis can cause various arrhythmias, such as atrial premature contractions, ventricular premature contractions, etc.
3) Enlargement of the heart: Myocarditis leads to inflammation of the heart muscle, and the heart may gradually enlarge.
3. Diagnosis and ** of myocarditis.
1.Diagnosis.
The diagnosis of myocarditis is based on history, clinical manifestations, electrocardiogram, echocardiography**, and cardiac enzymes. Diagnosis of myocarditis requires a combination of etiological examination and myocardial biopsy.
1) Anti-infection**: For pathogen infection, antiviral, antibiotic and other drugs are given**.
2) Anti-inflammatory**: Use drugs such as glucocorticoids to reduce myocardial inflammation.
3) Support**: including rest, nutritional support, correction of water and electrolyte imbalances, etc.
4) Heart**: After the condition is stabilized, cardiac training is carried out to improve the quality of life.
4. Measures to prevent myocarditis.
1.Enhance immunity: Maintain good living habits, exercise appropriately, and improve the body's resistance.
2.Infection prevention: Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid contact with pathogens.
3.Rational use of drugs: Take medication according to your doctor's instructions and avoid drug abuse.
4.Regular medical check-ups: timely detection of heart disease, early**.
5. The relationship between myocarditis and liver qi discomfort.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that myocarditis is related to liver qi discomfort. Liver Qi discomfort, that is, abnormal liver excretion function, may lead to poor qi and affect heart function. Patients with myocarditis often have symptoms such as mood swings and chest pain, which are similar to the manifestations of liver qi discomfort. Therefore, in the case of myocarditis, it can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine to regulate liver qi to achieve better results.
VI. Conclusion. Myocarditis is a heart disease that has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of patients. Understanding the symptoms, diagnosis,** and preventive measures for myocarditis can help us take better care of our heart health. At the same time, combined with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, we pay attention to the impact of liver qi discomfort on the heart and escort heart health.
