Whether it is online or listening to people around you chatting, from time to time there is the tragedy of sudden death.
About 550,000 people in China die suddenly every year, and sudden death refers to sudden death caused by disease that arises suddenly and is not expected. Simply put, it is because of a certain disease that causes death, not because of an accident such as a car accident, disaster, etc.
Since it is a disease, why not prevent or treat it?
Because most of the disease is potential, sudden death is not found or actively discovered before death.
The main cause of sudden death is heart disease, as well as a small number of other diseases, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, acute pancreatitis and other diseases.
But about 80% of sudden deaths are caused by heart disease, so if there is heart disease, why do most people not find it or pay attention to it?
Because most sudden deaths, there are no typical heart disease symptoms before death, there is no typical heart disease symptoms, naturally will not go to the hospital for examination, naturally they will not be able to find their heart disease in time. If you do not find your heart disease, you will naturally not be treated, and you will not be treated regularly, and eventually the heart disease will worsen, which may cause sudden death.
About 80% of the heart disease that causes sudden death is acute myocardial infarction, so before the sudden death caused by myocardial infarction, there are no symptoms?
Beijing Fuwai Hospital has a chinese acute myocardial infarction registration study, the results show that more than half of the acute myocardial infarction patients in China are low- and medium-risk groups with cardiovascular disease at the time of onset.
What do you mean? That is to say, nearly half of the patients with myocardial infarction in China, or sudden death patients, have not been diagnosed with coronary heart disease, or they think that they are "healthy".
"Healthy" people, suddenly die of heart attack, this is sudden death.
But this kind of "health" is almost always superficial, or false "health".
Before the sudden death, almost all of them have the following 3 points:
First, there are no three highs?
When many middle-aged people die suddenly, their families say that they are usually fine and have no disease.
Is there really no disease at all?
Is there a physical examination in the most recent year, and has blood pressure been measured in the last month?
For example, the most important risk factors for coronary heart disease myocardial infarction are hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. That is what everyone usually says about the three highs, but the three highs are not written on the face. Most of the people with three highs will not feel anything at the beginning, and even for several years they will not feel that they have three highs.
Therefore, through the physical examination, to check whether you have diabetes, high blood lipids or high blood pressure. Instead of saying that what usually feels good is healthy, that is, good.
Speaking of high blood pressure, you can't check your blood pressure once a year to determine whether you have high blood pressure. The incidence of hypertension is very high, almost reaching one in every 4 people, and stress, staying up late, not exercising, genetics, obesity, unhealthy diet, smoking and drinking, etc. are related, so you can't measure blood pressure once a year, and high-risk adults measure blood pressure once a month, which is the minimum requirement.
To say that "sudden death is healthy before death", first of all, to see if there is really to check, at least to exclude three highs; so to prevent sudden death, we must first understand whether we have three highs, if there are three highs, we must actively and regularly control and monitor, so as not to prevent long-term three highs are not found, there is no control, and eventually aggravate cardiovascular stenosis, cause thrombosis, and trigger myocardial infarction leading to sudden death.
Second, the precipitating factors?
Serious cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction are the root cause of sudden death. In other words, with this underlying disease, sudden death will occur.
However, sudden death is generally triggered by factors, that is, individual lifestyles and living habits, which induce sudden death.
Many sudden deaths, especially young people, most have some predisposing factors.
For example, if there is no active control of the three highs, high blood pressure and high blood sugar, it will induce plaque rupture, form blood clots, trigger myocardial infarction, and lead to sudden death.
For example, irregular life, long-term staying up late, overwork, physical exhaustion, then it will also induce plaque rupture, the formation of blood clots, trigger myocardial infarction, leading to sudden death.
For example, a large amount of smoking and drinking will lead to an increase in heart rate, increased blood pressure, trigger plaque rupture, form blood clots, trigger myocardial infarction, leading to sudden death.
For example, negative emotions such as mood swings, excessive stress, irritability and anger can also cause plaque rupture, form blood clots, trigger myocardial infarction, and lead to sudden death.
For example, cold stimulation, stool force, strenuous exercise, overeating, etc. cause plaque rupture, form thrombosis, trigger myocardial infarction, and lead to sudden death.
Most of the sudden deaths have these behaviors before death, so to prevent sudden death, we must first reduce or avoid the above precipitating factors.
Third, the heart alarm?
Even if the three highs were not found, even if the precipitating factors could not be avoided, there were still some sudden deaths, and there was actually the last line of sudden death defense of the heart alarm before they died.
The study found that nearly 75% of sudden deaths had angina before sudden death; 66% of sudden cardiac deaths had symptoms of angina for half an hour to 1 hour before sudden death.
So, to put it bluntly, angina is actually the last alarm before the death of this part of the sudden death, but this alarm may be ignored, so it leads to the final sudden death.
There are many manifestations of angina, not just pain in the heart area, there are many manifestations of angina. The most common manifestation is chest pain or precordial pain, which is why it is customary to call angina.
However, angina may also be pain in the anterior chest, back, jaw, epigastric abdomen, under the sword process, left arm, shoulder and other parts; there are also some angina that do not hurt at all, and may be manifested as chest tightness, sweating, malignant vomiting and other symptoms.
Therefore, you cannot judge whether you are angina based solely on the above performance. The biggest feature of angina is episodic, especially after activity. For example, a person usually walks briskly, goes upstairs, runs, exercises, activities, etc. there are no discomfort symptoms, but recently the above performance after the sudden appearance of activities lasts for several minutes each time, most of which are in 3-8 minutes, generally not more than 2-15 minutes, and rest for a few minutes can generally be relieved. Then this discomfort should be highly suspected to be angina.
Angina is a myocardial infarction that calls the police, and may even be the last time before sudden death, and must be treated immediately!
In short, remember these 3 points to prevent most sudden deaths!
