Recently, the temperature has plummeted, and the number of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has increased significantly. The Chest Pain Center of Li Huili Hospital of Ningbo Medical Center received 11 patients with acute myocardial infarction in one week, most of them middle-aged, and the young one was only 33 years old.
Just stepped through the emergency room door
He fell to the ground in an instant, unconscious
"Every year when the weather gets colder, or the seasons change, it is a high incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases." Director Hu Wanying, head of the center, explained, "Stimulated by cold, vasoconstrictive and hypertensive patients with blood pressure fluctuations, it is easy to induce myocardial infarction. ”
"The first second is fine, the next second I don't know anything." After experiencing the life and death of acute myocardial infarction, Mr. Lu (pseudonym) recalled the fierce change in his condition at that time and still had palpitations.
Mr. Lu is a medical worker who deals with diseases every day. Some time ago, he felt very tired and had symptoms of chest tightness. He is not yet 40 years old and has no underlying diseases such as hypertension, but as a doctor, he usually has a lot of work and pressure, and he thinks that he has been too busy lately and is not at ease.
Until the weekend, he felt that his chest tightness had worsened and the situation was not good, so he accompanied his family to the hospital for treatment.
However, his condition changed even faster than he had expected, and as soon as he stepped into the emergency room door, he lost consciousness and fainted. The family rushed to call for help, and doctors and nurses took him to the rescue room.
After some effort, Mr. Lu's heartbeat recovered, and it was found that there was ventricular fibrillation due to acute anterior myocardial infarction. But to restore blood flow to the blocked heart vessels, a stent is required. The doctor suspected that Mr. Lu's main blood vessel was blocked, and it was very easy to induce ventricular fibrillation again during the operation, and the risk of surgery was extremely high. As a result, Mr. Lu was referred to the Chest Pain Center of Li Huili Hospital of Ningbo Medical Center with a ventilator.
Faced with a young life, Hu Wanying decided to give it a go. On a ventilator, Mr. Lu underwent surgery. During the operation, Hu Wanying found that the proximal segment of the anterior descending branch was occluded near the main trunk, and successfully implanted the stent.
There was still fresh blood flowing in his heart, and Mr. Lu was pulled back from the ghost door. At present, he has been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward to continue treatment.
Chest pain is not assured
The 48-year-old man left complications
Mr. Zhenhai Wang, who lives in the same ward as Mr. Lu, has also experienced a life and death disaster.
Mr. Wang is 48 years old, and the earliest symptoms of chest pain were a week ago, and when the pain was not painful, he was not at ease. Until two days before the onset of the disease, on the way to work, he suddenly felt chest pain and sweating, so he rushed to the local hospital in Zhenhai.
However, Mr. Wang chose to go to the outpatient clinic to register and wait. "Such a serious chest pain is still hanging on the outpatient clinic, go to the emergency room!" Suspected of acute myocardial infarction, the receiving doctor immediately sent him to the emergency department, but it was still a step too late - Mr. Wang had a respiratory arrest halfway through, and the medical staff rescued him on the spot!
After Mr. Wang resumed his heartbeat, the doctor arranged for him to be examined, which confirmed the judgment of the outpatient doctor. Due to the delay in his condition, Mr. Wang's treatment was difficult, and he was also referred to Lee Wai Lee Hospital.
Hu Wanying opened the blood vessel for Mr. Wang to die through stent implantation, but the delay of his condition still left him with kidney complications. At present, Mr. Wang is out of danger of life and is receiving hemodialysis treatment in the nephrology department of the hospital.
Smoking is a risk factor for myocardial infarction
Unexplained chest pain is intolerable
"The typical symptom of myocardial infarction is chest pain and chest tightness," Hu Said, "many of these patients ignore this symptom, leading to serious consequences." ”
Chest pain is a typical symptom of acute and critical illnesses such as myocardial infarction and aortic dissection. "Chest pain of unknown cause cannot be tolerated, so you must go to a medical institution with a chest pain center immediately." She reminded.
The reporter learned in the interview that these 11 heart attack patients have a history of smoking.
"Smoking is a high risk factor for myocardial infarction, and if you have a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular underlying disease, you must quit smoking." Hu Wanying suggested that patients with high blood pressure should strengthen blood pressure monitoring, treat according to medical advice, and people with high blood lipids or overweight should exercise appropriately and control their diet. "Young people should also do a good job of prevention, stay up less late, the rhythm of life should be regular, and the combination of work and leisure should be combined."
