[This article declares: This story is pure fiction, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence, do not sit in the right seat. 】
Mr. Zhang, 45, is a university teacher.
Recently, he came across an article on the Internet titled "People who are prone to sudden death have 3 things in common".
According to the article, these three common points are: obesity, high blood pressure and a history of heart disease. Mr. Zhang's heart tightened after seeing it, because he happened to meet these three characteristics.
Mr. Zhang decided to go to the hospital for a medical check-up.
At the medical examination center, he met Dr. Wang from the cardiology department. Dr. Wang carefully inquired about Mr. Zhang's medical history and lifestyle habits, and arranged a series of examinations.
After the results of the examination came out, Dr. Wang said with a serious expression: "Mr. Zhang, your situation is indeed not optimistic.
Your blood pressure is poorly controlled, your ECG shows ischemic changes, and your echocardiogram shows left ventricular hypertrophy and decreased heart function. Add to that your obesity problem, which is a high risk factor for sudden death. "
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang chuckled in his heart and asked, "Doctor Wang, what should I do then?" Is it really like what is said on the Internet, I may die suddenly at any time?"
Dr. Wang reassured, "Mr. Zhang, don't panic too much.
Although your current physical condition is not ideal, as long as you intervene in time, you can still control the risk. I will prescribe some medicine for you, adjust your diet and daily life, and then have regular check-ups, I believe that the situation will improve. "
Mr. Zhang nodded, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart: "Then Doctor Wang, what do you think of the statement of the law of sudden death? Is it true that people who meet these three characteristics will definitely die suddenly?"
Dr. Wang sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, the article you saw said that the doctor dissected 5,516 cases of sudden death and found 3 or three sudden death patterns, but in fact, it is somewhat biased!"
It is true that obesity, high blood pressure, history of heart disease, etc., are common risk factors for sudden death, but not absolutely!
Fundamentally, sudden death is the result of a combination of multiple causes, and it is somewhat one-sided to attribute it to a few characteristics alone. "
Dr. Wang went on to explain, "In fact, there are many factors that affect sudden death, in addition to the three factors mentioned in the article, there are also age, gender, smoking, genetics, etc.
But even if these risk factors are present, it doesn't mean that sudden death will occur. The key is also to look at individual differences and the results of the comprehensive assessment. "
Dr. Wang's words made Mr. Zhang feel a little more at ease. He realized that although his current physical condition was worrying, there was no need to panic excessively.
A few months later, Mr. Zhang came to the hospital again for a follow-up. This time, his indicators have improved significantly, and his heart function has also stabilized.
After reading the examination results, Dr. Wang smiled with relief: "Mr. Zhang, your condition is much better. Looks like you've been putting a lot of effort into it lately, right?"
Mr. Zhang smiled and nodded, "Doctor Wang, this is what you said last time reminded me. I realized that health should not be left to chance, but that we need to take the initiative to achieve it.
Although I may still be in a high-risk group, I believe that with consistent management, I can reduce my risk and prolong my life. "
"Each of us has some health risk factors to a greater or lesser extent, but that doesn't mean we have to be associated with illness or sudden death.
As long as we can detect and intervene early, and take proactive measures, we have every chance to rewrite our own health trajectory. You are a great example of this. "
Mr. Zhang's story gives us a useful lesson: in the face of disease risks, we should neither take it lightly nor panic excessively.
At the same time, we also need to learn to sift through all kinds of health information on the Internet.
Some specious articles tend to exaggerate the role of certain factors and ignore the complexity of the problem, giving people the impression of alarmism.
In this regard, we must learn to think independently, respect facts, listen to professional opinions, and not blindly follow or be gullible.
Write at the end
Health requires us to start from all aspects of life, adjust our diet and daily life, improve our lifestyle, have regular physical examinations and monitoring, and actively prevent them.
Only by implementing health management into every concrete action can we truly stay away from disease and embrace health.
