Statistics from 2019 show that there were about 10.65 million patients who died of various diseases in the mainland this year!
Among these patients, 4.58 million people died from cardiovascular diseases, accounting for about 43% of the total number of deaths!
According to this data, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is the biggest murderer of the death of mainland residents due to illness, which includes myocardial infarction, stroke and other serious lesions. At the same time, there are also relevant surveys that show that affected by the low temperature in winter, deep winter is the high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and high-risk groups need to do a good job in prevention.
So the question is, who are the high-risk people for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases?
1. Patients with hypertension
Long-term hypertension, but has not been effectively treated, blood pressure control is not properly controlled, will have an impact on the arterial wall, resulting in thickening, hardening of the arterial vascular wall, lumen become more and more narrow, and then develop atherosclerosis.
On the basis of this lesion, hypertension can cause aggravation of cardiac load, left ventricular hypertrophy, and then induce hypertensive heart disease and heart failure.
Once blood pressure rises to a certain extent, there may be a sudden hemorrhagic stroke. In addition, when the arterial wall cells are damaged and thrombosis is formed, it can induce myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases;
2. Smokers
A large number of research surveys have shown that the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is significantly higher than that of smokers and non-smokers.
In the population that smokes about 20 branches per day, the incidence rate of coronary heart disease is 3 times that of non-smokers, the mortality rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is 6 times that of non-smokers, and the incidence rate of cerebral hemorrhage is about 3 to 5.7 times that of non-smokers. Among all the risk factors for cerebral infarction, smoking ranks first;
3. Alcoholism
Many people mistakenly believe that alcohol only causes damage to organs such as the respiratory tract and liver. As everyone knows, the injury of alcoholism is systemic, and the daily alcohol intake exceeds 50 grams, and the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase relatively.
The reason for this is that long-term large-scale alcoholism will cause damage to the walls of arterial vessels, promote the emergence of diseases such as atherosclerosis and hypertension, and then lay hidden dangers for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;
4. Diabetes
Among all the complications of diabetes, one is cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, which is also the biggest factor in the death of diabetics.
Diabetes will cause damage to patients' microvessels, myocardium, autonomic nerves, etc., prompting atherosclerosis, hypertension and other problems, while diabetes will also disrupt the body's metabolism, causing the onset of hyperlipidemia, and then increasing the prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Relevant studies have shown that the risk of death from coronary heart disease in diabetic patients is about 3-5 times higher than that of other populations;
5. Obese people
Relevant studies show that with the continuous improvement of the national economic level in recent years, nearly 50% of Chinese adults have problems such as overweight and obesity.
In clinical observation, obese people, especially abdominal obese people, are significantly more likely to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than people with normal weight. Obesity is the main risk factor for hypertension and metabolic disorders.
The above types of people, the probability of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease in winter is significantly higher than other groups, so such people need to do a good job of protection in life.
In particular, patients with three high diseases need to actively control the primary disease according to the doctor's recommendations, regularly carry out relevant review work, maintain a light and healthy diet, and exercise regularly, so as to minimize the disease of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
