"Coronary heart disease" should be familiar to everyone, this is one of the most high-incidence cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the mainland, and its full name in the clinic is coronary heart disease.
It refers to the original unobstructed coronary blood vessels, which gradually become narrowed by aging, three high diseases, and atherosclerosis, and then affect the blood supply of the myocardium.
The most typical symptom of patients with coronary heart disease is angina, which often occurs suddenly during a strenuous physical activity and emotional agitation.
If the condition has not been effectively controlled, life and eating habits have not been improved, the patient's condition may become more and more serious, once the coronary arteries are completely blocked, there is a thrombosis, it may cause a sudden outbreak of myocardial infarction, and the patient may even suddenly die due to a myocardial infarction.
Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease not only need to cooperate with doctors to actively treat, but also pay attention to life adjustment. In particular, the following five things may aggravate the disease, and patients should try to avoid it in their lives:
1. No adherence to medication
Many patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are older elderly people, their memory is not as good as that of young people, and there may be a problem of forgetting to take medicine.
Some elderly people, in order to recover from the disease as soon as possible, will even blindly try folk remedies, or arbitrarily increase the amount of medicine. As everyone knows, whether it is too much or too little medication, or if the drug is not changed casually according to the doctor's recommendations, it may affect the control of the disease, and even lead to further aggravation of the disease.
Therefore, the clinic has always emphasized that patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases need to have excellent medication compliance;
2. Long-term sedentary
Older people are of retirement age and have a relatively small amount of daily activity. If the patient has the problem of sitting for a long time, it will only make the blood circulation worse and worse, and it is also prone to obesity.
Obesity is precisely the high risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, especially myocardial infarction. Therefore, regardless of the age group, patients should avoid sitting for a long time, engage in appropriate activities every day, and choose the appropriate physical exercise program according to their physical condition;
3. Smoking and alcoholism
Cigarettes and alcohol are not only a class of carcinogens, but also a high risk factor for inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which will cause damage to the walls of arterial vessels, accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis, and promote blood pressure.
Patients with coronary heart disease can even cause a sudden attack of myocardial infarction after a large amount of smoking or alcoholism. Therefore, after the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, the patient should actively quit smoking and alcohol according to the doctor's recommendation;
4. Overwork
Whether it is a large number of sports or mental exercise, it will affect the hypothalamus, the central system, and will promote the secretion of hormones such as epinephrine and catecholamines, resulting in increased blood pressure, vasospasm, once the unstable plaque falls off, it may instantly form a blood clot, prompting the sudden outbreak of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
Relevant studies have shown that overwork is one of the most fundamental factors causing sudden cardiac death. Therefore, it is necessary to learn to combine work and leisure and maintain adequate sleep;
5. Do not regulate diet
Long-term maintenance of high-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar, high-salt diet intake is a high risk factor for the development of hypertension and metabolic disorder syndrome. And after the diagnosis of coronary heart disease, if the diet is not actively improved, there is no benefit to disease control.
Therefore, patients need to adjust their diet, reasonably control the total calorie intake of the three meals, and try to maintain a light diet, and maintain a state of 6-7 minutes of fullness at each meal.
In addition to staying away from the above five things, what needs to be emphasized here is the patient's primary disease control. Whether it is coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction, it is actually a disease based on three highs and atherosclerosis.
Therefore, while treating coronary heart disease, patients cannot ignore the control of the primary disease and need to actively take relevant drugs according to the doctor's advice.
