Relevant data surveys show that in a lifetime, everyone's heart can beat more than 26 times. When you're a baby baby, the heart starts to develop and work.
Each beat is to put pressure on the blood vessels, so that the blood containing fresh oxygen and nutrients is transported throughout the body, and then the blood is recycled.
The heart is one of the most important organs of the human body, and once the heart is in trouble, it will affect the health and even life of the patient.
Relevant research and surveys have shown that sudden cardiac death alone accounts for about 64% of all deaths from cardiovascular disease.
So the question is, heart disease to find themselves, what are the symptoms of it?
1. Chest tightness and shortness of breath: As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the main role of the heart is to pump blood.
If there is a problem with the heart, such as decreased heart function and insufficient blood supply to the myocardium, the patient may have ischemic oxygen in organs and tissues throughout the body, followed by chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms.
It is initially characterized by shortness of breath during minor activities, but is not accompanied by cough or sputum production. Later, even when it is still and lying flat, there will be chest tightness and shortness of breath, and even may be suddenly awakened during sleep;
2. Arrhythmia: Under normal circumstances, a healthy adult has a heart rate of about 60 to 100 beats per minute.
After the appearance of heart disease, this heart beat may change Patients can have symptoms such as tachycardia and slowness, which is clinically called arrhythmia.
Arrhythmias are divided into two categories: physiological and pathological, and physiological factors are usually related to nervous anxiety, drinking irritating drinks or eating irritating foods.
Pathological arrhythmias, on the other hand, may be a manifestation of the arrival of heart disease. If there is a recurrence of arrhythmias, a doctor should be consulted in time to find out the cause;
3. Pain in the precordial area: If there is a sudden tightening and squeezing pain sensation from the back of the sternum to the precordial area during severe sports and violent mood fluctuations recently, and it is gradually relieved after appropriate rest, this may be a signal of the arrival of angina and the main symptoms of coronary heart disease attack.
Due to the patient's coronary atherosclerosis and narrowing, the blood supply to the myocardium is insufficient for a short period of time, followed by angina.
If angina persists, or even has a sense of imminent death, and does not disappear for more than 20 minutes, this is likely to be a manifestation of a sudden myocardial infarction, and the patient should seek medical attention in time for relevant examinations;
4. Do not ignore edema: In the clinic, in addition to chronic kidney disease and liver disease, which can cause edema, heart disease may also be combined with edema symptoms, which is clinically called cardiogenic edema.
The disease mostly occurs in patients with heart failure, due to impaired heart function and rapid decline in myocardial blood output, resulting in a large amount of congestion in the systemic circulation and gradually developing water and sodium retention. Moisture penetrates into the interstitial space, which in turn causes puffiness.
If the above four symptoms have appeared repeatedly recently, especially after a sudden episode of angina, it is likely that heart disease has found itself.
Patients should seek medical attention for relevant examinations as soon as possible, including electrocardiogram screening and imaging tests. Once heart disease is diagnosed, the patient should cooperate with the doctor to start treatment to avoid the development of the disease to the point of irreparability.
