On January 15, actor Li Jiaxin posted on Weibo that he had been admitted to the intensive care unit for 48 hours before he "picked up a life."
According to media reports, Li Jiaxin, 51, suddenly felt out of breath in the middle of the night on January 10, with a heartbeat of 140 or 150 per minute. The next morning, doctors examined her and found that her blood pressure was immeasurable and her oxygen content was very low. After the joint diagnosis and treatment of multi-disciplinary doctors, Li Jiaxin was immediately sent to the ICU to draw hydropulmonary fluid.
It is reported that at that time, her heart, lung, liver and kidney function almost stopped, fortunately her mind was still awake. The doctor said that fortunately, the treatment was timely, and "the world almost lost Li Jiaxin." Subsequently, she responded through the staff, saying that the admission to the hospital was related to congenital heart structure problems.
Although it is not clear which congenital heart structure problem is currently unknown, her experience of the onset of the disease has also given us a wake-up call - dangerous heart disease, not only "staring" at the elderly, "staring" at men.
Now is the winter of high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, even if it is in the prime of life, the body seems to be harmless on weekdays, but also be vigilant against these dangerous "heart" problems, there is a jun to teach you to identify "clues", early to pull out their figures.
Myocardial infarction is high in winter
Women have atypical symptoms
When it comes to women's "health killers", we often first think of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, these traditional sense of "only" women's diseases, however, according to the World Heart Alliance statistics, cardiovascular disease is the global women's "number one killer", accounting for 35% of the world's annual women's deaths, the number of female patients who die each year is about 12 times that of breast cancer.
But why do we generally think that "women don't seem to have cardiovascular disease as easily as men"? Cardiologists point out that because women before menopause have estrogen protection, atherosclerotic lesions are indeed less common, the probability of coronary heart disease is lower, and the possibility of myocardial infarction is also lower.
However, among the traditional cardiovascular risk factors that have been identified, women have their own pathophysiological characteristics that differ from those of men.
For example, taking the dangerous myocardial infarction as an example, women, especially young women, are atypical in the onset of myocardial infarction, and common symptoms such as chest tightness and chest pain may be manifested as dizziness and general weakness, so the clinical treatment of women's cardiovascular emergency department can not be taken lightly.
Doctors remind that the following types of women should pay attention to cardiovascular health:
1. Have a clear family history, such as an immediate family member with a history of early-onset acute myocardial infarction.
2. People with bad living habits, such as staying up late, smoking, obesity, etc. Among them, the cardiovascular risk of obese patients in women is higher than that in obese patients in men.
3. Excessive mental stress, long-term tension and anxiety, low vascular regulation ability.
4. Long-term oral contraceptives, estrogen secretion disorders, easy to lose the protective effect of estrogen on blood vessels.
5. Hypertension and hyperglycemia are not controlled. Younger women are more likely to have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or type I diabetes after pregnancy. Studies have shown that from the age of 30 to 40, women have a faster increase in progressive blood pressure than men; women with diabetes have a 44% higher risk of coronary heart disease than men under the same conditions.
Before and after menopause, women should regularly check blood pressure, electrocardiogram and heart ultrasound, control waist circumference in daily life, prevent blood pressure and triglycerides from being too high, stabilize emotions and carry out moderate training.
Speaking of physical examination, some people ask, there are so many types of heart-related examinations, such as electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, coronary imaging... What is the difference between them?
In general, ECG is used to check for irregular heart rhythm, premature beats, and myocardial infarction; cardiac ultrasound mainly checks changes in the structure of the heart, such as whether the myocardium is thickened, whether the heart chambers are enlarged, and whether the valves are closed incompletely; coronary angiography is mainly used to check the degree of lesions in coronary heart disease.
These types of heart disease "favor" young adults
Heart disease is not only "eye-catching" to the elderly, there are several types of heart disease in the young and middle-aged groups:
Congenital heart disease:
Although most congenital heart diseases are treated in infancy or childhood, some patients do not have obvious symptoms early, do not know that they are sick in adulthood, or do not pay attention to them because the symptoms are not obvious. However, when symptoms appear in the early heart disease to the later stage, it has often developed to the point where there is great damage to the heart and lungs, and the damage is difficult to recover completely.
Heart valve prolapse disease:
The heart has four valves, through opening and closing so that blood flows in one direction in the heart, when the valve lobe prolapse will make the valve closure is not strict, causing valve reflux, part of the blood will not flow forward and return to the heart, the heart gradually appears overloaded and cause chest tightness, shortness of breath, lower limb edema and other symptoms.
Due to the strong compensatory capacity of young people, symptoms may not be obvious in the early stages of the disease, and symptoms are often present when valve prolapse is more severe.
Infectious endocarditis:
Bacteria enter the heart with the bloodstream and stay in the heart, eroding the heart tissue and causing heart infections. A considerable number of patients infected with endocarditis have structural diseases of the heart, and bacteria are more likely to attach to the heart to cause infection. Once infected, there are many complications that may be caused, and even permanent sequelae.
Viral myocarditis:
Inflammatory diseases of the myocardium occur after viral infection that follows the bloodstream into the heart. Its early symptoms are similar to those of ordinary viral infections, such as fever, general aches, fatigue, and later chest pain, chest tightness, dyspnea and other symptoms of decreased heart function.
Various heart diseases come to an end, and heart failure often occurs. Heart failure in young people is often common in myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. Therefore, the cold appears inflamed tonsils, do not take it as a small thing, viral myocarditis if it does not heal, some can develop cardiomyopathy.
Beware of the heart's "distress signal"
Occasionally when tired, palpitations, breathlessness during exercise, may not be a thing, many people will not care. But if these symptoms are superimposed, be vigilant that may be a sign of heart disease:
1. Dyspepsia.
Unlike general stomach diseases, stomach pain caused by heart disease rarely appears colic and severe pain, and tenderness is not often present, but there is a feeling of suffocation and fullness, sometimes accompanied by dull pain, fiery burning sensation and nausea and vomiting, there may be some relief after stool, but the feeling of discomfort will not completely disappear.
2. Shortness of breath.
Shortness of breath, breathlessness, that is, the feeling of "not enough breath", after sitting still for a few minutes, breathing seems to return to normal, but when the patient walks again, the wheezing begins again. This sign of wheezing heart disease is often overlooked by women and elderly patients with lung disease.
3. Extreme tiredness.
After a brisk walk, there will be signs of extreme tiredness, so tired that you don't even have the strength to straighten up. Fatigue is not confined to a certain part of the body, but is systemic. If you feel more severe fatigue than ever before, you should go to the hospital immediately for examination.
4. Shoulder pain.
Unlike general shoulder pain, this pain is generally dull rather than severe, and often radiates to the front and inside of the arm until the little thumb, and the pain is relieved after rest. However, the signs of this heart disease need to be distinguished from cervical spondylosis.
In addition to the above symptoms,
The following may also be the heart's "distress signal":
1. Tingling of the lower lip and ring finger on one side, paroxysmal, sometimes accompanied by heavy sweating;
2. Toothache, excluding the problem of the teeth themselves, it is best to go to the cardiology department to see;
3. Headache, especially with symptoms of chest tightness, exacerbated during activity, and improved a little after stopping to rest;
4. Stomach pain, feeling like eating a lot of chili peppers like "spicy" pain, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting;
5. Back pain, from the front chest pain to the back, radial pain, especially when accompanied by heavy sweating.
In particular, it should be reminded that people with risk factors for coronary heart disease, if the chest pain symptoms are not relieved for more than 15 minutes, it is very likely that acute infarction may occur, and they must call the emergency telephone for help. This kind of pain is generally accompanied by suffocating, pressing pain, with a sense of congestion and urgency, and can radiate to the fingertips and toes.
