International Online Liaoning Channel News (Yang Wei): During the Spring Festival, the proportion of cardiovascular disease outbreaks will increase. On January 29, Li Sai, deputy director and deputy chief physician of the Chest Pain Center of the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang, said that during the Spring Festival, citizens often increase the amount of smoking and drinking, plus staying up late, so the proportion of patients with acute and severe chest pain will increase by 10%-20% compared with usual.
Li Sai said chest pain is one of the common complaints of emergency patients. In fact, there are nearly 20 causes of chest pain, and what really needs everyone's attention is acute chest pain and high-risk chest pain.
"Chest pain caused by acute myocardial infarction, acute aortic dissection and acute pulmonary artery embolism are all acute chest pain and high-risk chest pain." Li Sai said that this type of chest pain is often characterized by severe, persistent and unresponsive, and may also be accompanied by sweating, nausea and vomiting, irritability, difficulty breathing and even unconsciousness.
Li Sai reminds that once they encounter the above chest pain, patients should remember three points. One is to remain calm, seek help in time, and notify the family; the second is not to try to find emergency drugs, such as nitroglycerin, quick-acting heart-saving pills, etc., because at this time such drugs will basically not work, but may backfire; the third is to remember two "120", one is a 120 emergency center, one is a golden treatment time, taking acute myocardial infarction as an example, its golden treatment time is 120 minutes. "The golden treatment time refers to the patient's opening of the blood vessel from the onset of the disease to the blockage, and strives to complete it within 120 minutes." Li Sai reminded that once patients suspect that they have an acute myocardial infarction, they should go to the hospital with chest pain center.

The Chest Pain Center of the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang City is one of the first batch of national chest pain centers in the municipal hospitals to pass the national certification. The chest pain center is visited by cardiovascular doctors 24 hours a day, and a 24-hour chest pain emergency green channel is opened for the public to meet the medical needs of patients.
At present, it is a critical stage of epidemic prevention and control, and it is the Spring Festival holiday, Li Sai suggested that according to the regulations, patients who come to the doctor need nucleic acid testing, but for patients with acute chest pain and high-risk chest pain, if emergency surgery is involved, the principle adopted by the hospital is that epidemic prevention and control and emergency first aid are parallel, and everything is based on the premise of not delaying the treatment of patients. Medical staff will save patients' lives while doing a good job of protection.
Li Sai reminded that the pain site of acute myocardial infarction is not necessarily limited to the chest and back, can go up to the earlobe, down to the navel, so the occurrence of continuous pain up to the earlobe, down to the navel, it is recommended to see the doctor at the first time and complete the ELECTROCARDI examination. Doctors at the Chest Pain Center of the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang City can complete the emergency patient within 3 minutes until the completion of the ELECTROCardiogram, which improves the treatment efficiency of the patient.
