This is also the first in Haicang
A nationally certified chest pain center!
Certified
It makes a lot of sense
Acute myocardial infarction is like a "time bomb" in the human body, usually silent, and once "exploded", it will be life-threatening. The establishment of the "Chest Pain Center" is to effectively "defuse" the "time bomb" in the human body to regain the golden time.
Through the certification, it can help the hospital's emergency response ability to further improve, further enhance the multidisciplinary coordination ability and the awareness of treatment, meet the treatment needs of patients with disease, and allow more patients with chest pain to receive timely treatment.
81 minutes! Life and death speed!
Xiao Wu, 18, is the youngest of the patients treated so far at the Chest Pain Center of Xiamen Haicang Hospital.
In the early morning of December 2, Xiao Wu, who was initially diagnosed as a myocardial infarction at Longchi Hospital, was quickly transferred to Xiamen Haicang Hospital.
In Xiamen Haicang Hospital, Li Wenming, director of the Chest Pain Center, quickly opened a green life channel, emergency angiography, and the results showed that Xiao Wu had acute myocardial infarction and the right coronary artery was completely occluded!

The lifeline is blocked by a blood clot, and the heart is nearly paralyzed and stopped! At the critical moment, Li Wenming and other medical personnel immediately carried out rescue and successfully pulled Xiao Wu back from the ghost gate.
From Xiao Wu was transferred to Xiamen Haicang Hospital until the end of the rescue, it took only 81 minutes.

For myocardial infarction and even all kinds of fatal chest pain, every minute of rescue is precious. The biggest significance of the establishment of the Chest Pain Center is to reduce the mortality rate of chest pain patients and improve clinical prognosis.
In September 2019, Xiamen Haicang Hospital established a chest pain center to open an emergency green channel for chest pain patients, implement first treatment and then charge, and cooperate with multiple disciplines such as cardiovascular medicine, thoracic and cardiac surgery, respiratory and critical care medicine to ensure the health of patients; implement a 24-hour ×7 standby mechanism to ensure that chest pain patients who need emergency surgery can receive timely treatment.
Up to now, more than 800 patients with acute chest pain have been successfully treated, more than 70 lives have been saved from the death line, and the activation of the catheterization room has been shortened to an average of 22 minutes, setting up a "heart-saving highway" of "green channel for treatment + information technology" for patients with chest pain.

Incidence is on the rise in under 45 years of age
Long overtime, sedentary, nerves are always in a tense state, always feel that there is not enough rest...
Have you ever felt a pain in your chest?
Perhaps, the body had secretly sounded the alarm, but most people ignored it.
Data from the China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2019 shows:
Since 2005, the mortality rate from acute myocardial infarction has increased rapidly. Among them, the incidence of people under 45 years old is increasing year by year.
In recent years, the pressure of the social environment and work pressure has increased, young people stay up late, eat and live irregularly, and have bad habits such as smoking and drinking, and myocardial infarction is obviously younger. Li Wenming said that myocardial infarction is no longer the patent of the elderly.
Li Wenming stressed that before the elderly have a myocardial infarction, there are often some signs or hints, such as angina. However, young people often do not have a pre-adaptation process of angina and myocardial ischemia, once the onset is a large area of myocardial necrosis, the disease is urgent, the symptoms are severe, so the mortality rate and sudden death rate of myocardial infarction in young people are higher than those of the elderly.
One of the important ways to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is to maintain good living and eating habits, pay attention to nutritional balance, go to bed early and get up early, participate in physical exercise, refuse tobacco and second-hand smoke and so on.
If the following conditions occur in the body
A heart attack is not far from you
It may be a precursor to myocardial infarction when the following conditions occur in the body:
Angina – chest tightness is often felt, but lasts less than 5 minutes.
In addition to this, acute myocardial infarction may be accompanied by certain atypical symptoms:
1. Chest tightness, feeling like pressing a stone, always want to grow out of breath;
2. The stomach is persistently uncomfortable, and it is aggravated and the scope is getting larger and larger, which is different from the previous stomach pain;
3. Particular fatigue;
4. Other rare manifestations: toothache not caused by caries, atypical abdominal pain accompanied by sweating, sudden arm numbness, etc.
If the body frequently exhibits these conditions, you should go to the cardiologist as soon as possible, and if necessary, do a CT of the heart artery or do a cardiac angiography to see if the blood vessels are narrowed.
Myocardial infarction appears, and the first time to hit 120
When you notice that the following conditions occur in the body, it may be that an acute myocardial infarction has occurred:
1. Severe and persistent pain in the middle of the chest that radiates to the back, jaw, or left arm.
2. Dizziness or syncope, sudden sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, palpitations (heavy heart).
At this time, instead of trying to buy your own medication or go to the hospital on your own, you should do two things immediately:
1. Immediately call the emergency number 120, inform the specific location and symptoms, and wait for rescue.
2. Immediately sit down or lie flat on the ground without doing any activity. For example, Shi Lei in the above article, once he has "ventricular fibrillation" on the way to the pharmacy and then falls to the ground, the consequences are unimaginable.
Summary: Face a heart attack and keep four points in mind
When acute myocardial infarction is suspected, it is important to keep the following four points in mind:
1. Stop activities and lie flat to rest;
2. Avoid nervousness and do not blindly take medication;
3. Immediately dial 120 for help;
4. Go to the nearest chest pain center for treatment as soon as possible.
