Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is a heart disease caused by atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary arteries, resulting in narrowing or blockage of the vascular cavity, resulting in myocardial ischemia, hypoxia or necrosis, often referred to as "coronary heart disease". However, the scope of coronary heart disease may be more extensive, and it also includes inflammation, embolism, etc. that lead to lumen stenosis or occlusion.
Causes of coronary heart disease:
1. The cause of coronary heart disease is related to diet, and people who often eat a higher calorie diet, more animal fats and cholesterol are susceptible to coronary heart disease. At the same time, the amount of food is also susceptible to coronary heart disease, so to control the incidence of coronary heart disease, in addition to controlling the intake of high-fat diet, we must also pay attention to controlling the amount of food.
2. The cause of coronary heart disease is obese people with excessive standard weight (10% of overweight is light, 20% is moderate, and 30% is severely obese), susceptible to coronary heart disease, especially for people who increase weight rapidly. However, it is currently believed that attention should be paid to the study of methods for evaluating weight. The body mass index should not be looked at alone, but the thickness of subcutaneous fat should be measured. Prospective studies have shown that people with centripetal obesity are at greater risk.
3. Abnormal blood lipids due to genetic factors, or excessive fat intake, or lipid metabolism disorders. The causes of coronary heart disease such as total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL are elevated, while HDL decreases, making them susceptible to coronary heart disease.
Early symptoms of coronary heart disease
1. Sudden post-sternal or left chest pain when exerted or nervous, accompanied by sweating or radiating to the shoulder, arm or neck.
2. During physical activity, there is panic, shortness of breath, fatigue and difficulty breathing.
3, full meals, cold, palpitations when watching the shocking film, chest pain.
4. In public places or venues, or when climbing the mountain, it is easier than before to feel chest tightness, palpitations, poor breathing and insufficient air than others.
5. When the sleep pillow is low at night, you feel that you are holding your breath and need to lie down in a high pillow: "Suddenly awake during deep sleep or nightmare, feel palpitations, chest tightness, and poor breathing, and need to sit up before getting better."
6. Feel heartbeat, impatience, chest tightness or chest pain during sex.
7. Long-term onset of left shoulder pain, which is not cured by general treatment.
8. Repeated pulse irregularities, excessive speed or too slow.
Tests to confirm the diagnosis of coronary heart disease
1. Electrogram examination is a test to confirm coronary heart disease: it is to find myocardial ischemia, whether there is arrhythmia, and it is a common method for diagnosing coronary heart disease. Including electrocardiogram at rest, electrocardiogram during angina attack, electrocardiogram stress test, continuous monitoring of electrocardiogram (Holtter) and other examinations.
2. Angiography is also a test for confirming coronary heart disease: it is currently known as the gold standard for diagnosing coronary heart disease. The extent and extent of the lesion can be determined, and the choice of treatment (surgery, intervention, medication) can be used to provide a basis for assessing risk, and left ventricular angiography can be used to determine left ventricular systolic function and the presence or absence of ventricular wall tumors.
3. Radionuclide (ECT) examination: the scope of infarction can be understood, which is also the examination to confirm the diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
4. Muscle enzyme examination is also a test to confirm coronary heart disease: SGOT, CKP, etc. to understand the degree of myocardial damage and recovery process.
5. The examination of coronary heart disease also includes echocardiogram: to understand the movement of the ventricular wall, whether there is a ventricular wall tumor, heart valve activity and left heart function.
How to prevent coronary heart disease
1. Do not smoke.
2. Keep blood pressure normal and stable, the ideal blood pressure is 120/80mmHg. Prevention and treatment measures for high blood pressure include maintaining a normal weight, limiting alcohol, salt intake, maintaining appropriate potassium, calcium, and magnesium intake, and taking antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Maintain normal blood lipids, prevent and treat hyperlipidemia, high-risk groups should be checked regularly, low-fat diet, exercise, and take lipid-lowering drugs.
4. Avoid mental tension.
5. Lifestyle with too little exercise is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease, regular exercise helps to maintain weight, reduce high blood lipids and hypertension, and the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
6. Maintain normal blood sugar and prevent diabetes.
7. For high-risk patients with existing risk factors for coronary heart disease (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc.), it is recommended to take long-term cardiovascular health to prevent the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
In addition to taking medicine on time for patients with coronary heart disease, diet is also very important for the control of the disease, and it is very important to introduce several teas suitable for coronary heart patients to drink, which helps coronary heart patients to nourish their hearts and calm their minds.
1. Ginseng tea
Take 3 grams of 300 flowers and 3 grams of ginseng 37 flowers, brew in boiling water, soak warmly for a while, and drink tea frequently. After pharmacological analysis, it was found that Ginseng Sanchi has the effect of activating blood and dispelling stasis and relieving pain, and can play a role in dilating coronary arteries, increasing coronary artery blood flow, and reducing myocardial oxygen consumption in patients with coronary heart disease.
2. Ground bone Danpi tea
Take 3 grams of peony peel, 10 grams of bone skin, brew in boiling water, simmer for about 15 minutes. Danpi analgesic and sedative, the bone skin has a hypotensive effect. Taking this tea can clear the brain and calm the heart, treat dizziness, chest tightness and palpitations, and is also effective in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases.
3. Safflower sandalwood tea
It consists of 5 grams of safflower, 5 grams of sandalwood, 1 gram of green tea, and 25 grams of brown sugar. Safflower activates blood stasis, sandalwood gong specializes in qi and relieves pain, green tea can digest phlegm, and red sugar is compatible with various drugs, which has the effect of activating blood. The tea has a sweet and warm taste, has a good blood-activating and stasis and pain relief effect, and can alleviate symptoms such as chest suffocation and hidden pain in patients with coronary heart disease.
4. Calamus acid plum tea
It is made with 3 grams of nine-knot calamus, 5 pieces of sour plum meat, 5 pieces of jujube meat, brown sugar and water decoction. Calamus is soothing and refreshing, and has the effect of dilating coronary blood vessels. This tea has a particularly good effect on heart weakness, panic of insufficient blood, palpitations, insomnia, forgetfulness, and diet, and is also suitable for coronary heart disease and suspected patients.
5. Mai Dong raw ground tea
Taking 30 grams of wheat dong and raw land, and decocting instead of tea, it not only has obvious effect of clearing heat and nourishing yin and vitality, but also has the effect of improving yin, replenishing qi and nourishing the heart. It also helps to improve myocardial nutrition and improve myocardial tolerance to hypoxia. Pharmacological experiments have found that oral Mai Dong decoction can alleviate symptoms such as angina and chest tightness, and the amino acids and carbohydrate compounds contained in Mai Dong have significant effects on enhancing myocardial resistance to hypoxia.
Experts remind that before drinking tea containing traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, it is best to consult a professional doctor, drink under the guidance of a doctor, and do not drink too much.
