#myocardial infarction#
On December 25, a touching emergency incident occurred in Xiamen, Fujian Province. Mr. Gao, 62, quickly called the 120 emergency number after feeling chest tightness and chest pain. When first responders arrived, Mr. Gao had already suffered a heart attack and had ventricular fibrillation, with his heartbeat and breathing arrested. After nearly an hour and a half of unremitting efforts by the first responders, including high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation and relay rescue by multiple doctors, Mr. Gao finally regained his spontaneous heartbeat.
It is understood that Mr. Gao has a history of cardiovascular disease and underwent heart stent surgery ten years ago. This recurrence may be related to his long-term high frequency of smoking. Smoking has been widely recognized as one of the risk factors for heart disease and myocardial infarction, which can lead to damage to vascular endothelial cells, increase the risk of atherosclerosis, accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis, and eventually lead to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction.
The health hazards of smoking are well known. Harmful substances such as nicotine and carbon monoxide in tobacco cause serious damage to the cardiovascular system. Long-term smoking can lead to damage to vascular endothelial cells, increase the risk of atherosclerosis, and increase the incidence of heart disease and stroke. In addition, smoking can also lead to an increase in blood pressure, an increase in the level of harmful cholesterol in the blood, an increase in the risk of thrombosis, and an acceleration of the formation of atherosclerosis, which ultimately leads to cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
In response to this incident, we can't help but ponder: the health harm of smoking is real, it will not only affect the health of individuals, but also bring a huge burden to families and society. Therefore, we call on smokers to cherish their lives, stay away from tobacco and refuse to smoke. For smokers who have become addicted, they should also actively seek ways to quit smoking, protect their health, and leave more care for their families. At the same time, we should also strengthen the learning Xi of first aid skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, improve the ability of self-rescue and mutual rescue, and provide more survival opportunities for first aid in case of sudden illness.
There is also a close association between myocardial infarction and smoking Xi. Smoking is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and myocardial infarction (myocardial infarction) is a serious manifestation of cardiovascular disease.
Smoking causes damage to vascular endothelial cells, increases the level of harmful cholesterol in the blood, causes atherosclerosis, thrombosis, etc., which are the main physiological processes that lead to myocardial infarction. Long-term smoking can lead to an inflammatory response in the blood vessel wall, making the arterial blood vessels more fragile and prone to the formation of blood clots, which can lead to the occurrence of myocardial infarction.
In addition, smoking can increase blood pressure, increase the workload of the heart, and lack of blood supply to the heart muscle, all of which can also increase the risk of heart attack.
Therefore, Mr. Gao's long-term smoking Xi may be one of the important reasons for his heart attack. This also reminds us that smoking is a huge health hazard, and we should quit smoking as soon as possible to protect our cardiovascular health.
This sudden situation reminds us once again that the health risks of smoking cannot be underestimated. We should cherish life, stay away from tobacco and refuse to smoke. For smokers who have become addicted, they should also actively seek ways to quit smoking, protect their health, and leave more care for their families. At the same time, we should also strengthen the learning Xi of first aid skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, improve the ability of self-rescue and mutual rescue, and provide more survival opportunities for first aid in case of sudden illness.
