The old man had another heart attack.
Doctors are in a race against time to relay for life.
Two years ago, an uncle Wu (pseudonym), who suffers from multiple health problems such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and gout, underwent stent surgery for a heart attack. However, after the surgery, he did not take the medication as standard, stopped taking the drugs related to coronary heart disease on his own, and continued to smoke.
Unexpectedly, two years later, at two o'clock in the morning recently, Uncle Wu came to the Fifth People's Hospital of Chengdu due to another heart attack, and the emergency medicine department, interventional diagnosis and treatment department, cardiovascular department, CCU (cardiovascular care unit) and other related departments of the hospital quickly started to work together and immediately carry out emergency surgery**.
In preoperative angiography, the opening of the circumflex branch vessel was completely occluded.
After full communication with the patient and his family, the hospital's chest pain center urgently activated the catheterization laboratory (interventional department). Zhang Denghong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, rushed to the hospital at 2 o'clock in the morning, and the staff of the interventional diagnosis and treatment department were also quickly prepared for emergency surgery.
After stent implantation, the blood vessels are patency and blood flow is restored.
In close collaboration between the Department of Interventional Medicine and the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, the medical team urgently performed thrombus aspiration and stent implantation surgery for the patient. With a stent implanted in the body, the patient's blood flow returned to normal after the operation, and the operation was successful.
Doctor reminds. To prevent myocardial infarction, it is recommended to do these 9 points.
The cardiovascular physician of Chengdu Fifth People's Hospital reminded that even if patients with coronary heart disease have done stents, they should attach great importance to it, and they need to carry out long-term chronic disease management.
After the implantation of the heart stent is not in the "safe", the patient after the myocardial infarction must pay attention to prevent the second attack, in addition to the acute phase of the myocardial infarction actively, but also after the myocardial infarction should be strengthened, in order to prolong the patient's life, improve the quality of life and return to work.
Winter is one of the seasons with a high incidence of cardiovascular diseases, how to prevent myocardial infarction? The doctor gave 9 points of advice.
First, stay warm: Cold temperatures can increase the burden on your cardiovascular system. Wear appropriate warm clothing, especially to protect the head, hands and feet and other areas that are prone to heat loss.
Second, moderate exercise: Although the winters are cold, moderate physical activity is essential for cardiovascular health. Indoor exercises, such as yoga or aerobics, can be chosen to keep your body active.
Third, eat right: Limit your intake of high-fat, high-sugar foods and increase your intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. This helps maintain a healthy weight and blood lipid levels.
Fourth, adequate hydration: In cold weather, people tend to neglect their water intake. Staying hydrated helps maintain blood flow and consistency.
Fifth, control blood pressure and blood sugar: For people with high blood pressure or diabetes, monitor closely and keep blood pressure and blood sugar levels within the normal range.
Sixth, regular work and rest: Adequate sleep can help reduce stress on the body and maintain the health of the cardiovascular system.
Seventh, avoid excessive alcohol consumption and tobacco: Both excessive alcohol consumption and smoking are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Try to quit smoking and limit the amount of alcohol you drink.
Eighth, regular physical examination: Irregular cardiovascular health check-ups, such as measuring blood pressure and checking cholesterol levels, can help to detect potential problems early and intervene in time.
Ninth, if there are patients with underlying cardiovascular diseases, they need to take standardized drugs and follow up with specialists regularly.
