What are the signs when there is a heart attack? Don't be careless!

What are the signs of heart disease? Before heart disease occurs, common precursors include so-called chest tightness, chest pain, dyspnea, or heart palpitations. These are all well-known precursors; therefore, it is less likely to be misdiagnosed or miss the best time for treatment. But there are still some precursors that may be misjudged, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, even stomach pain, shoulder and neck pain, etc.; these precursors may be related to heart disease. In most cardiac emergencies, the most common is myocardial infarction, and myocardial infarction may cause some atypical symptoms. For example, upper abdominal pain, in fact, it may be myocardial infarction in the lower wall, and some patients have dizziness, arrhythmia, or similar symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats. In fact, this symptom may not be so typical, but there may be immediate life-threatening danger. There are also some phenomena like drowsiness, or sudden loss of consciousness, which ar...

Some heart diseases are actually frightened by myself

 The old man went to the outpatient clinic because of intermittent chest pain and chest tightness. According to the old man, every time his chest pain was at night, he did not get significantly worse during exercise, and he could go up three floors in one breath! He didn't think it was a big deal, and he came to the hospital with the insistence of the child. The old man didn't come in vain this time, he was definitely diagnosed with myocardial infarction. Considering that the infarction is still relatively early, I suggest that the elderly should receive coronary intervention (heart stent) as soon as possible to save the myocardial cells that will be infarcted.    The old man became very nervous after hearing this, and asked a series of questions: Did you make a mistake? What is going on with this disease? Why did I get this disease for no reason? Is it okay to take medicine? Why do you need surgery? Will it be life-threatening?    After some explanation, the elderly and family...

A breakthrough in stem cell treatment of heart disease: British scientists invented long-acting stem cell injection

 Scientists at University College London have made a breakthrough in the treatment of heart disease with stem cells. The stem cell injection method they invented allows stem cells to survive longer in the heart. Previous attempts to regenerate the heart in this way have repeatedly failed because the cells are difficult to adapt. new environment.    According to reports, researchers at University College London cultivated stem cells into miniature spheres and injected them into the heart muscle. This method has been tested in laboratory mice, and the stem cells can survive longer in the heart, so it can help treat heart failure.   Daniel Stuckey (Daniel Stuckey) of University College London said: "Our technology provides a new way to ensure that the cells injected into the heart can work properly." Professor Metin Avkiran of the British Heart Foundation said: “This is a promising new delivery system that allows stem cell-derived heart cells to have the best chance of repairing...

What is congenital heart disease? What are the common types?

 The incidence of congenital heart disease, a congenital heart malformation, is not low, and it is more common in clinical practice. The occurrence of the disease will cause patients to have abnormal clinical symptoms such as dyspnea, reduced activity endurance, and cyanosis. The treatment difficulty of congenital heart disease is higher than that of acquired heart disease. Therefore, the harm caused to individuals is relatively more serious. Patients suffering from congenital heart disease first need to make a clear diagnosis of the disease through examinations, and then treat them through surgery, drugs, and other methods. Although the continuous progress and development of medical technology, the ways that can help people treat congenital heart disease have become more and more diverse. However, because each patient with congenital heart disease has a certain degree of difference, congenital heart disease can be divided into the following different types, and different types can...

Can myocardial infarction be cured?

 Whether myocardial infarction can be cured or not depends on many factors, such as age, size of myocardial infarction, whether to go to the hospital in time, whether to dissolve thrombolysis or do a stent, and whether to change lifestyle afterwards. "Cure" here means that there is no obvious symptoms of discomfort and no recurrence. Myocardial infarction is divided into acute phase and chronic phase, and the treatment methods of the two are different. In the acute stage of myocardial infarction, the first treatment is to open the blocked blood vessel. The method used is interventional therapy, opening the blood vessel by mechanical means, or using drugs to dissolve the thrombus. Stents are currently the most effective method for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. For the fatal disease of myocardial infarction, opening blood vessels as soon as possible and restoring blood flow can not only save lives, but also save the myocardium that is about to die. It is the mos...

What is the difference between palpitations and myocardial infarction? How to save myself with myocardial infarction?

 Palpitation is a conscious symptom of the patient. It is the rhythm of the heart beating too fast or the rhythm of the beating is irregular, resulting in an uncomfortable feeling in the precordial area. In many cases, it may be obviously related to physical state, mood, sleep, and some underlying diseases. This situation often occurs in adolescents and belongs to cardiac neurosis. Adjusting emotions and regular work and rest can be alleviated. Symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, chest pain, fatigue, and sweating when heart palpitations require immediate medical attention to monitor blood pressure and blood sugar. In the case of a sudden increase or decrease in blood pressure, or high blood sugar or low blood sugar, you need to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition. Precursor of myocardial infarction: About half of the patients with acute myocardial infarction have anterior zone symptoms 1 to 2 days or 1 to 2 weeks before the onset of ons...

Why do myocardial infarction appear suddenly?

 1. The essence of myocardial infarction is acute vascular occlusion? Why does myocardial infarction happen suddenly? Why didn't it progress gradually, and then myocardial infarction occurred over a long period of time? This requires understanding of the definition of acute myocardial infarction. The occurrence of acute myocardial infarction is a disease that causes the sudden occlusion of the coronary arteries of the heart due to various reasons, which in turn leads to myocardial ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis. Therefore, no matter whether the coronary arteries were smooth, narrowed, or have other lesions... they all happen after the acute vascular occlusion, and there needs to be myocardial necrosis caused by the vascular occlusion! It can be seen that neither of the two elements of myocardial infarction is missing. The first is the acute occlusion of the blood vessel, and the second is the myocardial necrosis due to the occlusion. Since it is an acute occlusion of blood vessels,...

People with heart disease should avoid these 4 behaviors as much as possible in life, which is good for heart health.

 The heart is the most important organ in the human body. It is mainly responsible for blood circulation problems. If there is a problem with the heart, the health of our body will be affected. Due to irregular work and rest and many bad habits in life, many people have heart disease, but these people do not know what to pay attention to in their daily lives. For people suffering from heart disease, in daily life, we can reduce all kinds of stimulation to the heart and avoid damage to the heart. Avoid these 4 behaviors as much as possible, so as not to stimulate the heart!    1. Get angry For people suffering from heart disease, the first thing they can’t do in life is to get angry, because anger can aggravate the disease, and even lead to emergencies that endanger the life and health of the patient. This is mainly because people with heart disease will have blood circulation disorder when they are angry, and the blood supply capacity of the heart is likely to be abnormal, leading ...

Apple has a high content of potassium, while the content of sodium is low. Potassium can be combined with excess sodium and then excreted from the body to maintain human blood pressure, which is of great benefit to the human heart. The acidic substances and vitamins in apples can reduce the content of "bad cholesterol" in the blood. Man...

The lower the hand strength, the higher the risk of heart disease

 Recently I saw a humorous joke, saying that Xiao Li’s wife insisted on exercising for a month, and excitedly said to Xiao Li: "Look! My belt used to be buckled in the first hole, but today it can be buckled to the second hole. It's a hole." Xiao Li looked at it and said with deep meaning, "Well, your hands have become stronger." Although this is a joke, in fact, if you can get stronger through exercises, it is really good for your body! Today, let’s talk about the relationship between hand strength and health. Weakened hand strength Decreased cognitive function Reduced hand strength is not only related to heart health. Studies have found that weakened hand strength also indicates a decline in cognitive function. This is even related to the risk of certain cancers, such as the risk of colorectal cancer, prostate cancer or lung cancer in men; the risk of breast and lung cancer in women. In fact, our hand strength will show an "inverted U-shaped" trend a...

What is the best treatment for myocardial infarction? What medicines are needed to save lives

 Acute myocardial infarction is the most serious disease, so once myocardial infarction is diagnosed, how to treat it to increase the success rate, reduce the mortality rate, and reduce the occurrence of heart failure? 1. How to diagnose myocardial infarction No one can diagnose myocardial infarction outside the hospital without having an electrocardiogram. Although chest pain is the most common symptom of myocardial infarction, it is neither chest pain nor myocardial infarction, nor is it not myocardial infarction without chest pain. In addition to the typical chest pain and precordial pain, myocardial infarction may also be caused by toothache, headache, shoulder pain, back pain, upper abdomen pain, chest tightness, suffocation, sweating, etc. It may be caused by myocardial infarction. . These symptoms combined with the special manifestations of ST-segment elevation in the electrocardiogram can be diagnosed as myocardial infarction; or after a blood test for elevated troponin and...

Is chest pain a precursor to myocardial infarction? Do this to prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction

 Acute myocardial infarction refers to myocardial necrosis caused by acute and persistent ischemia and hypoxia of coronary arteries. According to incomplete statistics, the current incidence of acute myocardial infarction in my country continues to increase, and 70% of patients die without time to go to the hospital during an attack. Wang Risheng, director of the Cardiovascular Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, reminded: We must pay attention to the prevention of acute myocardial infarction. What factors are related to the occurrence of myocardial infarction? The cause of acute myocardial infarction is coronary atherosclerosis, so all risk factors for coronary atherosclerosis are also risk factors for acute myocardial infarction. The more common ones are high blood pressure; diabetes; hyperlipidemia; obesity; smoking and other bad life behaviors. In addition, the onset of acute myocardial infarction generally has incenti...

Don’t treat [Myocardial Infarction] Heatstroke in hot weather, this symptom is a precursor to myocardial infarction

 It was hot, and no matter where I went, I felt a heat wave in the air. I walked for a few minutes, my whole body was wet, and my clothes were wet and sticky. Sweating can regulate body temperature balance, expel metabolic waste, and remove garbage in the body. In a hot day, body fluid is easy to lose, easy to heatstroke, and it is a period of high incidence of cardiovascular disease. [Myocardial Infarction] and [Heat Stroke] are often easy to confuse people's sight, we need to be vigilant and pay attention to discrimination! There are several abnormal manifestations of the body, and we must be alert to the onset of myocardial infarction: ● Sudden chest pain, mostly in the early morning; ●The nature of the original angina pectoris has changed (frequency conversion, aggravation, and duration prolonged), or the cause is not obvious, it usually occurs when resting at rest, and the effect of taking nitroglycerin is poor; ●Pain is accompanied by profuse sweating, nausea, vomiting, arrhy...

How to prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction?

 Although acute myocardial infarction is a very common disease, it can be completely avoided as long as prevention is done. Regarding the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, preventive measures should be taken according to different health conditions.

Everlasting Fifth Bow? This kind of heart disease is a little weird

 On November 2, 2016, Haohao (pseudonym), who was only 7 months old, developed cough and runny nose after vaccination. His parents took him to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics for treatment. Two days later, Hao Hao developed irritability, labored breathing, nasal fan, and three depressions (referring to depressions in the suprasternum fossa, intercostal space, subcostal and xiphoid process during inhalation). After a series of examinations such as echocardiography, it was found that he had an extremely rare congenital heart disease-the permanent fifth bow. In view of the critical condition, the green channel was opened immediately after the cardiac surgery consultation and Haohao was admitted directly to the heart disease. Intensive care unit (CICU) treatment. Haohao's left ventricle is enlarged in a spherical shape, with a left ventricular end diastolic diameter of 43 mm, which is equivalent to the size of an adult. Due to the severe fifth arch constriction, as soon as Haohao w...

 At present, the number of pregnant women suffering from heart disease continues to increase, and the risk of pregnancy complications during pregnancy is higher than that of ordinary people. As for the long-term cardiovascular prognosis of such pregnant women after pregnancy, it is currently unclear.    Canadian scholars investigated and analyzed the long-term cardiovascular prognosis of 1,014 women with heart disease and 2028 women without heart disease. The results have been published in the American Heart Association journal "JAHA" recently. The main outcome of the study was a compound event of mortality, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, myocardial infarction or arrhythmia. Secondary outcomes included cardiac surgery and new onset of hypertension or diabetes.

Heart disease is common? These 4 heart-related diseases cannot be underestimated

 The heart plays an important role in the human body. If you want your heartbeat to be regular and keep your heart relaxed, you need to develop good habits to stay away from heart disease and maintain your health. If there is a disease in the circulatory system, this condition is called cardiovascular disease, and a severe heart can kill the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the body in the correct way to maintain health, otherwise the occurrence of heart disease will significantly affect the labor and life of patients in addition to adverse symptoms. 1. Coronary heart disease Coronary heart disease is a relatively common heart disease, mainly caused by coronary atherosclerosis. During the onset of the disease, the heart needs blood, oxygen cannot be provided in time, the vascular cavity is narrowed, the obstruction causes myocardial ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis, the adverse symptoms are obvious, and the impact of coronary heart disease is relatively extensive, and ...

alert! These common symptoms may be signs of heart disease

 There are more than 330 million people suffering from cardiovascular disease, and the death rate from cardiovascular disease ranks first. But for a long time, many people don't know much about this disease. The doctor reminded that some common symptoms may be precursors to heart disease, so we must pay attention to them. Grandma Zhang from Hefei, Anhui Province, began to feel dizzy about half a year ago. Upon examination, it turned out that there was a problem with the heart valve. The doctor diagnosed aortic valve stenosis with insufficiency. She is at risk of sudden death at any time and must undergo surgery. But she is 79 years old, and her family is very worried that the risk of traditional open chest surgery is too high. The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital uses a new "no operation" valve replacement technology for the treatment of such patients, which greatly reduces the risk. Wang Dongjin, director of the Department of Cardiothor...

Seven taboos for patients with heart disease, what are the precautions for common heart disease

 Heart disease is relatively harmful to the human body, and it can even threaten human life when a serious attack occurs. Therefore, patients with heart disease must pay more attention in their daily lives. Let me introduce the seven taboos of heart disease patients, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Seven taboos for patients with heart disease In general, the precautions for common heart diseases are: 1. Avoid drastic weight loss. The lightning-fast hunger weight loss method will cause the weight to drop too quickly, resulting in a large amount of protein consumption and muscle tissue reduction, resulting in the decline of myocardial tissue, and inducing heart failure. It is a common precaution for heart diseases. 2. Avoid satiety, overeating with three meals, dilatation of the stomach wall, will increase the pressure in the lungs, leading to increased cardiometabolic, easy to induce causing myocardial infarction. 3. Avoid frequent waking up at night, which is also a common p...

Potassium supplements can prevent heart disease. What foods should people with high blood pressure eat if they want to supplement potassium? Might as well take a look

 There are many vitamin elements in the human body. When these substances are always in a balanced state, then our body is healthy. But when one's own diet and living habits have undergone tremendous changes, and the body cannot accept it for a while, it will cause some abnormalities in the body, which will make oneself suffer from some chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure. In the early stage of high blood pressure, it is only symptoms of unstable blood pressure. However, at this stage, because the body rarely suffers from discomfort, most people will miss the best treatment time and suffer from high blood pressure. After suffering from high blood pressure, they must take drugs to control it. , And regular consumption of some blood pressure lowering drugs will cause the body to suffer from potassium deficiency. When the human body suffers from potassium deficiency, it is actually more likely to have some heart diseases. Therefore, we must supplement potassium in our daily ...

What should I pay attention to after heart stent surgery?

It seems to be a joke, but it reflects that patients with heart disease do not have enough knowledge about coronary heart disease stents. What are the precautions and risks after heart stent surgery, everyone still has a little understanding. 1. What is coronary heart disease? Full name: Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Coronary arteries supply blood to the heart myocardium. Atherosclerotic plaque occurs in the coronary arteries, which causes stenosis of the lumen to restrict blood flow and insufficient blood supply to the myocardium. 2. Who is prone to coronary heart disease? High blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, smoking, obesity, the elderly, lack of exercise, family inheritance, fatigue, stress, staying up all night, etc. 3. What are the symptoms of coronary heart disease? Chest tightness and chest pain; the size of the palm behind the sternum in the middle part of the body is accompanied by compression and constriction. 4. How is coronary heart disease di...
