Why not only drink less water, but also infusion less?

Heart failure is a terrible term for heart patients, because once diagnosed with heart failure, the mortality rate can reach 50% within 5-6 years, so it is necessary to control the amount of drinking water and reduce the burden on the heart.

For patients, water intake is not only from drinking water, but also from liquids that enter the body through various ways. Infusion is naturally a place that needs special attention. If intravenous infusion is used in large quantities, it will easily lead to water and sodium storage and even heart failure.

So what should these heart patients pay attention to besides controlling the amount of drinking water?

1, pay attention to rest

Don't underestimate these four words. Clinically, most patients with heart failure have some sleep problems. When patients don't have enough rest time, they will let the brain release stress hormones, which will speed up the heart rate and raise blood pressure. This will also bring a burden to the heart. If the heart is overwhelmed for a long time, it will easily damage normal function and lead to heart failure.

2. Healthy diet

This is a healthy diet, not a green diet. Personally, I don't think we should overeat. After all, the human body needs a variety of nutrients, and the healthiest thing is a balanced diet, but the proportion needs to be considered. It is necessary to give priority to whole grains, supplemented by fruits and vegetables, and eat some meat occasionally, but it needs to be clear: eat less salt, not too heavy, not good for your health, need regular and quantitative, and it is not easy to gain weight.

There are many patients with heart disease, and the doctor said to give less fluids and drink less water. Why?

All kinds of heart diseases will develop into heart failure in the later stage. At this time, the cardiac function is obviously decreased, and the patient's activity endurance is reduced. After the activity, he is prone to chest tightness and shortness of breath. In severe cases, paroxysmal dyspnea will occur at night, even sitting up and coughing up pink foam sputum.

There is a concept in medicine called "optimal initial length", which means that in a certain range, the contractility of myocardium will increase with the increase of length. When the length of the myocardium reaches a certain length, the contractility of the myocardium will reach the maximum, but if the length of the myocardium is increased at this time, the contractility of the myocardium will decrease.

Why do patients with heart failure need less infusion and less water? The reason is that the heart of patients with heart failure is seriously dilated and the length of myocardium exceeds the optimal initial length. If there is too much infusion and drinking water at this time, the heart will further expand and the myocardial contractility will further decrease. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to reduce the amount of infusion, drink less water, and at the same time strengthen diuresis to contract the heart, so that the myocardial length can be reduced to normal, so as to improve the heart function.

To sum up, in order to improve heart function, patients with heart disease should reduce infusion and drink less water.

This is generally aimed at patients with heart failure.

The common causes of heart failure are myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease, abnormal myocardial function and arrhythmia.

Heart failure is divided into acute heart failure and chronic heart failure. Acute heart failure (AHF) is a short-term cardiac insufficiency, which leads to insufficient blood supply to various organs, and can cause pulmonary edema, pulmonary congestion, insufficient blood supply to organs and other symptoms. Chronic heart failure is a long-term decline in cardiac function caused by other heart diseases, mainly manifested as chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially after exercise, fluid retention may occur, such as pulmonary edema and edema of both lower limbs.

For patients with heart failure, the cardiac function is obviously lower than that of normal people. The main function of the heart is to pump oxygenated arterial blood exchanged by the lungs into various organs of the body (brain, liver, kidney, etc. ). If the heart function declines, it means that the function of pumping blood by the heart declines, and the amount of blood pumped out decreases at the same time.

Normal people's drinking water and intravenous fluids will be mixed with the blood in the original blood vessels, and finally transported to various organs through the pumping function of the heart, and finally reach the capillaries for use by various organs.

Patients with heart failure can't pump blood in an effective time, so when drinking a lot of water or infusing a lot of liquid, part of the excess water in the blood vessels will enter the lungs through vascular circulation, causing pulmonary edema, and the other part will leak into the interstitial space through capillaries. This will cause pulmonary edema and edema all over the body. After ingesting a large amount of liquid for a short time, the heart can't circulate the blood in the body in time, which will aggravate heart failure and be life-threatening in severe cases.

The occurrence of heart disease is due to blood vessel blockage and arteriosclerosis, and some substances used by the human body cannot be metabolized normally and remain in the body. Due to the reticular structure of blood vessels, the amount of contents in blood increases, which leads to excessive blood configuration in the heart and surrounding tissues and various symptoms.

The increase of vascular contents per unit volume relative to the volume will inevitably increase the internal pressure (burden) of the container (blood vessel and heart), leading to the damage of the container.

Compared with nature, the human body is a closed space and blood vessels are a closed channel. The increase of the content will inevitably aggravate the symptoms of the heart. Therefore, blood transfusion into blood vessels will inevitably increase the amount of blood contents, increase the burden on blood vessels and heart, and aggravate or cause sudden diseases.

Therefore, people with heart disease should try not to inject fluids.

Drink as much water as necessary, and don't use cold water or ice water.
