[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. 】
Liu Li, a 48-year-old executive at a foreign company, is usually busy with work, but she has always adhered to a healthy lifestyle.
Every morning at six o'clock, Liu Li will come to the fitness park of the community on time and run for half an hour. In terms of diet, she is particularly particular, light and less oily, eats more vegetables and fruits, and rarely overeats.
The world is impermanent, just a month ago, Liu Li suddenly fainted in the company, and her colleagues hurriedly sent her to the hospital for emergency treatment. After a series of tests, doctors diagnosed her with severe heart failure and a heart function of only grade 3.
"How so? I usually pay so much attention to exercise and diet, how can I still get heart failure? Liu Li asked.
The attending doctor, Zhang Li, sighed: "There are many reasons for the occurrence of heart failure. Do you usually have a stressful job? Do you stay up late for a long time? "
Liu Li thought for a while: "Foreign companies, overtime is a common thing. When rushing to the project, it is also common to stay up all night. "
Zhang Zhang nodded: "Long-term overwork will cause myocardial fatigue and increase the burden on the heart. Add to that the fact that you may also have genetic predisposing factors, so it's no surprise that you have heart failure. "
"But don't I exercise all the time and eat a healthy diet? Isn't that enough? Liu Li still doesn't understand.
"Regular exercise and a sensible diet are important, but they are not a panacea." Zhang Zhang explains, "Once a disease occurs, no matter how healthy a lifestyle is, it cannot be reversed. Timely diagnosis and treatment is the key. "
During her hospitalization, Liu Li cooperated with the doctor to carry out systematic and comprehensive treatment, including medication and surgery. At the same time, the doctor also taught her how to monitor her weight and blood pressure, and grasp the changes in her condition.
When he was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Zhang instructed: "In the future, you should have regular follow-up visits, take the medicine on time, and don't stop the medicine without authorization." No matter how busy you are at work, you must learn to combine work and rest. "
But Liu Li doesn't seem to really pay attention to the doctor's orders. Soon after she was discharged from the hospital, she returned to her busy work, and staying up late and working overtime was still commonplace.
On weekdays, I have to hold meetings and meet customers, so how can I have time for follow-up visits and dispensing medicines? Gradually, Liu Li began to take even the most basic medicines intermittently.
In this way, in the neglect and indulgence, Liu Li's heart failure became heavier and heavier. Late that night, when she fainted again in the office, she had been taken to the hospital without a solution. Liu Li, who is only 48 years old, has left this world forever.
"How many times, how many times have I said it, heart failure is not a cold, don't be a child's play!"
"Patients always think that exercising and eating healthy will make all things good." As everyone knows, the disease is ruthless, and no matter how healthy the lifestyle is, it can't withstand the neglect of management! "
In clinical practice, cases like Liu Li's deterioration and sudden death due to neglect of heart failure management are not uncommon. As a highly disabling and fatal cardiovascular disease, heart failure has shown a trend of high incidence and younger age in recent years.
Lifestyle is important, but it's not the whole story of heart failure management. In fact, even athletes can't escape the clutches of heart failure.
Regular follow-up visits, strict adherence to the doctor's instructions, and self-monitoring are seemingly simple requirements, but they care about the lives of declining patients.
For healthcare workers, it is also essential to improve patient education and compliance. Heart failure is different from ordinary diseases, and patients often have insufficient cognition and weak management awareness.
Write at the end
Under the haze of heart failure, the flower of life can still bloom. As long as we go hand in hand, doctors and patients work together, and use wisdom and perseverance to write an anti-"aging" life, we will be able to create a healthy and beautiful future.
After all, the length of life is important, but the thickness of life is more worthy of our pursuit and creation.
