Heart attacks are high during the cold season, and many celebrities have passed away
Recently, in addition to Yang Hongwu's death due to a sudden heart attack, Xu Yong, senior editor of Xinhua News Agency, died after a sudden heart attack in his office and the rescue was ineffective; actor Gao Yixiang suddenly fainted while recording the program, and died after the rescue was ineffective; a subway passenger in Beijing suddenly had a heart attack and died after the rescue was ineffective... Since the beginning of winter, sudden deaths have occurred frequently. Cold is one of the external factors of the aggravation of heart disease and the onset of malignant cardiovascular disease, which will increase the probability of angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, etc., resulting in sudden cardiac death.
The occurrence of these unfortunate events, on the one hand, exposed that people's awareness of the prevention of sudden cardiac death is not enough, on the other hand, let the whole society face an old problem again: due to untimely treatment, insufficient popularization of CPR knowledge and skills, and the coverage rate of automated external defibrillators is not high, resulting in a very low successful treatment rate of sudden cardiac death.
Myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of sudden cardiac death. According to incomplete statistics, there are millions of cases of acute myocardial infarction in China every year, but only 5% of patients receive timely and reasonable treatment. Moreover, the incidence of myocardial infarction has a tendency to gradually become younger, and the situation is becoming increasingly severe.
Preventing a heart attack starts with regulating emotions
Many people are wondering why so many people have died of heart attacks, and many of these people are theoretically in good condition. Can't a heart attack be prevented?
In fact, there are a small number of heart attacks that really cannot be prevented, and sudden death occurs on the first time, which is indeed 100% preventable.
However, in daily life, you can also prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction from the aspects of regulating emotions and regular life, and regarding the prevention of myocardial infarction, there are the following points that should be paid attention to:
1. Be good at regulating emotions. Keep a cheerful mood, maintain stable and optimistic emotions, correctly treat and deal with the adverse stimuli of various life events, and avoid excessive emotional fluctuations;
2. Maintain a regular rhythm of life. Moderate work and leisure to ensure adequate sleep and rest time. Watching TV, playing chess, playing poker, and playing mahjong should not be too long;
3. Diet should be balanced and diversified. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat less animal fats, sucrose, cream (especially animal offal, seafood), quit smoking, and do not drink strong alcohol;
4. Physical exercise according to your own situation. You can exercise by swimming, climbing, playing ball and other sports. If the physical fitness is slightly worse, moderate activities can be considered, such as health exercises, walking, tai chi, practicing qigong, etc., the key lies in the conditions of the person, do not overload exercise;
5. Regular physical examination and timely medical treatment. Pay attention to checking blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids, and electrocardiogram regularly.

What should I look for when I suddenly have acute chest pain or myocardial infarction?
1. When the disease occurs, immediately stop the current exercise and work. It is best to use a lying position to reduce exercise, and if possible, appropriate oxygen can be inhaled to relieve symptoms.
2. If similar symptoms have occurred in the past and can be relieved by taking medication, the previously used medication can be appropriately taken. However, it should be noted that when using previous drugs is ineffective, be sure to call the emergency number in time.
3. After 3.15~20 minutes, it still cannot be relieved, be sure to dial 120. Remember two 120 (120 emergency calls and 120 minutes of golden time to heal) and save lives at critical moments.
4. Be sure not to drive yourself to the hospital, the equipment on the 120 ambulance can save the lives of patients at critical moments.
