Cardiovascular diseases can actually be prevented. Where should we start? The cardiologist wrote six prescriptions.

In recent years, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension and cerebral hemorrhage have become more and more frequent, and have the characteristics of high incidence, high disability rate, high mortality rate, high recurrence rate and many complications.

According to statistics, the number of people who die of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in China is as high as 9590 every day, which means that every 10 second, 1 person dies of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which has become the number one killer of human health!

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are caused by complex and diverse factors, which are related to hypertension, blood viscosity, emotional excitement, improper diet, overwork, sudden climate change and other factors. And most of them are middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old. However, in recent years, due to bad living and eating habits, the age of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is decreasing year by year, and the number of patients is also increasing.

How can I know if I have hidden dangers of this disease?

Zhou Yuping, director of Guang 'anmen Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, summed up some experiences based on years of clinical experience, especially when the following symptoms appear, we must be vigilant:

Case 1:

20 18 12 8 At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Uncle Wang, who came back from a walk in the community, suddenly felt unwell, chest pain and flustered. He quickly found his own heart-saving pills and took a rest after taking them. After about an hour, Uncle Wang still felt out of breath. So I called my daughter, and her daughter asked her father to make an emergency call first, then hung up and drove home in a hurry. Uncle Wang's home is less than 20 minutes away from the hospital. I didn't call because I thought it would be quick to drive to the hospital when my daughter came back. I have been lying in bed waiting for my daughter to come back. Because her daughter's company is far away from her father's house, when her daughter got home, Uncle Wang had lost consciousness. My daughter hurriedly dialed 120. When the doctor arrived, he began to give first aid and stayed in ICU for a week before waking up. After being transferred to the general ward, Director Dai treated Uncle Wang with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, and coordinated with drugs for dredging collaterals, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to recuperate during the recovery period. After half a month of treatment, Uncle Wang returned to normal and was discharged from the hospital. After returning home, I used Chinese medicine for a period of consolidation and conditioning, and my body was the same as before I got sick.

Director Dai has something to say: Uncle Wang made a fatal mistake. He didn't call the emergency number the first time, but chose to wait. Uncle Wang's home is close to the hospital. If he had called the emergency number in time, he wouldn't have almost died.

Case 2:

20 19, 1 One night in June, 50-year-old Mr. Jiang suddenly suffered from acute myocardial infarction and his whole body was wet and cold. He has gone into shock and his life is in danger. The doctor suggested opening blood vessels immediately, and explained the advantages and disadvantages of thrombolysis and stent. The whole family had many discussions. Some people say that you can't put a stent, and you can't live without medicine. Some people say thrombolysis is impossible, others say conservative treatment ... Finally, after careful consideration, the silent wife said, "I hope the doctor will do his best to treat it."

The operation went very smoothly. After the operation, Mr. Jiang's heart rate gradually recovered to 90 times, and his skin temperature gradually improved. Be discharged after one week.

But after the operation, Mr. Jiang has been very weak, so under the recommendation of a friend, he found Director Dai for postoperative recovery and conditioning. According to the director's syndrome differentiation, Mr. Jiang has qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the meridians are blocked. The director prescribed Huoxue Tongmai decoction for treatment. After taking it for two days, Mr. Jiang felt energetic and obviously refreshed. After more than three months of conditioning, Mr. Jiang's body is getting better day by day and his mood is relaxed.

Finally, Director Dai gave six suggestions to patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

1

Don't look back suddenly.

The detection rate of carotid artery stenosis and plaque is getting higher and higher, which is also one of the foundations of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases that people pay more and more attention to. In summer when blood volume is insufficient and blood viscosity is abnormal, this risk factor needs more attention.

Once the unstable plaque in carotid artery falls off, it will cause a great blow to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even lead to cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction, which may be life-threatening. Therefore, don't turn your head violently in life, and don't do neck massage to avoid accidents. People over 40 years old, people with hyperlipidemia and unstable blood pressure should pay special attention to this. In particular, sudden reentry may become the fuse of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular collapse.

2

Take medicine for atrial fibrillation quickly, and don't be careless.

Another factor that is easy to form a fatal embolus is atrial fibrillation in the heart. Clinical observation shows that a considerable number of middle-aged and elderly people do not know that they have atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation is prone to thrombosis. Thrombosis enters the circulatory system with blood, which will form major diseases such as cerebral infarction and pulmonary embolism, and even induce sudden death. For atrial fibrillation, the best treatment is warfarin, not aspirin (please follow the doctor's advice).

three

Strictly monitor blood sugar to avoid hypoglycemia.

Clinical observation shows that diabetic patients should never lower their blood sugar too low in summer, otherwise they are prone to angina pectoris and ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

Zhou Yuping, Chief Physician, Department of Cardiology, Guang 'anmen Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Generally speaking, it is best to control the fasting blood glucose at 6 ~ 8 mmol/L in summer and the postprandial blood glucose at 8 ~10 mmol/L.

four

The weather is hot, avoid alternating hot and cold.

Due to the acceleration of human metabolism in summer, the demand for oxygen and nutrients increases, and the blood supply to the heart and brain decreases, which will aggravate the ischemia-hypoxia reaction. In addition, under high temperature, people's sympathetic nerve excitability increases, heart rate increases, coronary artery contracts and myocardial oxygen supply decreases, which will also increase the incidence of coronary heart disease. On the other hand, if the indoor air conditioner is too low, the extreme indoor and outdoor temperature changes will make it difficult for the human body to adjust in a short time, because the sharp change of temperature difference will make the blood vessels of the human body contract and relax continuously, which will directly lead to the change of blood pressure, cause blood circulation disorder and induce myocardial infarction or stroke.

Therefore, the elderly with a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should pay attention to reducing outdoor activities, rest indoors more, and take a nap 1 hour in the afternoon to supplement the lack of sleep at night.

five

Do a good job in daily life and exercise in time.

Chinese medicine believes that summer should be the season of "rest" for middle-aged and elderly people, and it is not appropriate to exercise a lot.

Summer is characterized by high temperature and humidity, which directly leads to the increase of human metabolism and oxygen consumption. Even if you sit there quietly, in the high temperature and high humidity environment, the blood circulation will be accelerated and the oxygen consumption of your body will increase.

Some people who have diseases themselves are very easy to get sick in such an environment, especially some patients with heart and brain diseases. The increase of oxygen consumption is the first direct cause of disease. On the other hand, many old people are willing to get up early and do morning exercises because they get up early in summer. However, according to the survey, 70%-80% of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases occur at 6- 10 in the morning, which is considered as the onset time of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so exercise should try to avoid this time.

six

Eat a light diet and ensure adequate water.

Director Zhou Yuping pointed out that blood viscosity is the main cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so we must pay attention to timely hydration in summer to prevent blood from becoming sticky. In summer, the amount of human activity is large, so a lot of water will be lost, but because many people don't have the concept of drinking water often, it will directly lead to blood viscosity. Especially drink a glass of water before going to bed at night and after getting up in the morning. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you can also drink some water. This can reduce blood viscosity, prevent thrombosis and reduce the possibility of sudden cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Finally, Director Dai Yanyan reminded everyone that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are difficult to distinguish and difficult to treat, and comprehensive treatment is needed. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to treating both the symptoms and the root causes, and treating them as a whole. The course of treatment is relatively long, so it is not appropriate to rush. Patients must follow the doctor's advice and don't blindly use drugs, so as not to be counterproductive. In addition, pay more attention to your daily diet!
