The word "sudden death" should be familiar to everyone, and it often appears on the news of major websites.
The so-called sudden death does not refer to accidental death, but to the situation that usually seems to be in good health, or a person who has a disease but has stable control, suddenly has an acute illness and dies in a short period of time.
The causes of sudden death are complex, but most of them are associated with cardiovascular disease.
Earlier data from 2019 showed that there were 10.65 million patients who died of various diseases in the mainland in the year, and the number of patients who died from cerebrovascular disease in the center accounted for 4.58 million, which is about 43% of the total number of deaths.
Some reports even clearly point out that 544,000 sudden cardiac deaths are expected to occur on the mainland every year, and every minute, one person dies due to sudden death. And this situation is still deteriorating.
Sudden cardiac death refers to the death of various serious heart diseases, the most typical of which is myocardial infarction.
On the basis of coronary atherosclerosis, patients developed extreme narrowing of the coronary veins and thrombosis, resulting in the gradual necrosis of the myocardium due to lack of blood oxygen supply in a short period of time.
If the patient is not rescued in time, serious injuries such as heart failure, shock, and death may occur. So the question is, what should be done to prevent sudden cardiac death?
1. Stay away from bad habits: A large number of research surveys show that although bad living and eating habits will not cause direct damage to cardiovascular and heart, they will induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular-related diseases and promote the accelerated formation of atherosclerosis;
For example, long-term large-scale smoking and alcoholism, sedentary, unhealthy diet (eating too greasy, calories and sugar exceeding the standard), obesity, etc., they can cause high blood pressure, diabetes or hyperlipidemia, to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases to lay a major hidden danger.
Therefore, for young people who have not yet appeared in the disease, if you want to prevent sudden cardiac death, you must first correct it from bad habits;
2. Control of primary disease: As mentioned above, the three high diseases are important risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke and myocardial infarction.
Here to focus on hypertension, hypertension can continue to cause damage to arterial blood vessels, heart, it will promote the formation of atherosclerosis, in the case of improper blood pressure control, once the vascular spasm, plaque on the arterial wall falls off, it will form a blood clot in the blood vessels, resulting in a sudden outbreak of myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction.
Therefore, as long as there is a cardiovascular-related disease, the patient needs to actively take medication according to the doctor's recommendation to avoid the irreparable disease;
3, avoid overwork: there are many office workers for money, work status continue to struggle, long-term stay up late overtime, three meals are not fixed has become the norm.
Relevant data surveys show that nearly 80% of office workers on the mainland are in a state of excessive exhaustion.
Chronic fatigue stress is the cause of early onset of coronary heart disease in young and middle-aged people, and it is also an important cause of sudden death in young and middle-aged patients with coronary heart disease, and patients who die suddenly due to overwork account for about 65 to 80% of all sudden death patients.
Therefore, everyone should learn to combine work and leisure, and know that physical health is the most important.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone: those days of active and passive late sleep for various reasons, cigarettes and alcohol swallowed because of anxiety, palpitations that are ignored because of busyness, exercises that are ignored because they want to rest, and so on.
These inconspicuous disappearances pushed us tired step by step into the abyss of sudden death. If you have realized the seriousness of the problem and worried about your health, from now on, away from bad life and eating habits, spending every day in a scientific and healthy way is the first step to self-salvation.
