Yoga, known as self-cultivation, is favored by urban women, but yoga with seemingly gentle movements is not suitable for some people. Recently, a rare female patient was admitted to the vascular surgery department of a hospital in Zhejiang Province. After yoga, a very dangerous aortic rupture occurred-aortic dissection. After treatment, the patient has turned the corner.

What happened:

Ms. Zheng, who is nearly 40 years old, signed up for a yoga class in order to improve her physique. Usually she will find time to go to the yoga studio and practice with the teacher for an hour.

At noon three weeks ago, Ms. Zheng entered the practice on time. Ms. Zheng said: they are all basic movements of pulling and stretching. But after doing it that day, I felt a little strange, but I didn't think much without obvious pain or anything.

To Ms. Zheng's surprise, the pain in her back came like a flood, as severe as tearing, and she felt chest tightness, paroxysmal chest pain, and radiated to her lower abdomen ... Ms. Zheng couldn't help moaning in pain. The family sent him to the hospital, and the doctor ruled out the myocardial infarction. But before Ms. Zheng and her family breathed a sigh of relief, an equally dangerous disease name popped out of the doctor's mouth: rupture of the heart aorta-hematoma between aortic dissection walls.

The doctor explained that the aorta has three layers of blood vessel walls and the aortic intima is ruptured. Blood flows from the vascular lumen into the middle layer of the blood vessel through the breach, and the blood vessel wall forms a hematoma (blood treasure), which is also called dissection in medicine. If the rupture is small or the pressure is low, the intimal rupture can be healed by controlling blood pressure and heart rate. If the hematoma in the aortic dissection wall continues to increase and the aortic dissection ruptures, it will be life-threatening if it is not treated by surgery in time. According to the doctor's analysis, Ms. Zheng's yoga has stretching movements, probably because the aorta is stretched and the nourishing artery or intima breaks.
