Once the heart fails, it will really be "sad"
As one of the common diseases of cardiovascular medicine, heart failure refers to a disease in which the function of the heart is reduced due to various heart diseases.
This disease is not an independent disease, but the middle and late stages of the development of heart disease, most patients with heart failure begin with left heart failure, that is, the first manifestation of pulmonary circulation congestion.
When heart failure patients first develop the disease, most of them are manifested as panic, shortness of breath, fatigue, and lower extremity edema, and if the correct measures are not taken to treat, it is easy to endanger life.
How long can heart failure live? Two factors may play a key role
First, therapeutic factors
According to the data of clinical survey statistics, the reason why many patients with heart failure lose their lives is because of the arrival of complications, such as heart rate abnormalities, pulmonary embolism, electrolyte disorders, etc., which will continue to increase the burden on the heart, and life will be affected over time.
It is precisely in this way that if you want to prevent the disease from getting more and more serious, you must go to the hospital regularly for physical examination, and early detection and early treatment can control the disease, and then achieve the effect of prolonging life.
Second, psychological factors
How long patients with heart failure can live is also closely related to their mentality.
If you have been immersed in negative emotions such as irritability, anxiety, depression and so on after the disease, it will make the patient lose confidence, which is naturally not conducive to the treatment of the disease.
Therefore, keep your mood calm and avoid mood swings so as not to increase the burden on your heart.
Heart disease patients, what precautions do you need to do in your daily life?
1. Enhance resistance
The appearance of heart failure is closely linked to weak resistance, especially when the temperature changes suddenly.
Only timely addition of clothing can enhance the ability to resist diseases, otherwise it is easy to cause respiratory infection problems, which will affect the heart and even induce psychological failure.
2. Ensure adequate rest time
No matter what age, overloaded work will cause damage to health, especially in today's society, some people still have the habit of staying up late and working overtime, which leads to a sharp increase in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pressure, and the incidence of heart failure will also increase.
3. Pay attention to diet
Eat small, frequent meals to reduce abdominal fullness while properly controlling daily feeding weight.
At the same time, it is not advisable to eat cold, overheated or spicy stimulating foods, and do not drink alcohol, smoke, and drink strong tea and coffee. At the same time, the diet is kept light, and more fresh vegetables and fruits are eaten to meet the nutritional needs of various vitamins in the body.
4. Regular inspections
Patients need to go to the hospital regularly for physical examination to be able to better understand the health status of each organ, if there is an abnormal problem found, the first time to take countermeasures, it can reduce the probability of heart failure.
At the same time, take the drug strictly according to the doctor's instructions, do not arbitrarily change the use and dosage of the drug, especially when taking diuretics and digoxin, so as to avoid adverse effects
5. Keep exercising
Another measure to prevent heart failure is to keep exercising, because exercise helps to strengthen the physique and also promotes blood flow, so that the burden on the heart is reduced.
However, the intensity of exercise needs to be maintained at moderate intensity, and strenuous exercise or physical labor with greater intensity will inevitably increase the burden on the heart. At the same time, the exercise time is maintained at 20-30 minutes, which is most suitable for 2-3 hours after meals or 1 hour before meals.
Can people with heart failure fly?
For traffic travel, patients with heart failure should pay special attention, especially when taking a civil aviation airliner, if the oxygen concentration in the cabin is low, the oxygen in the blood will be relatively reduced, which is prone to lesions.
Therefore, it is recommended that patients diagnosed with heart failure need to be able to fly under the doctor's evaluation.
