What should cardiovascular patients pay attention to in winter? Avoid morning exercises and strenuous exercise. In winter, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, and some old people like to do morning exercises, or even go out to exercise at four or five o'clock. At this time, the outdoor temperature is low, and cold stimulation causes serious contraction of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which makes the already high blood pressure rise faster, thus increasing the possibility of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents.

Low temperature will lead to rapid heartbeat, vasoconstriction, high blood pressure and increased heart load. In this case, it will greatly increase the probability of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. A study shows that every time the temperature drops 10℃, the risk of heart disease will increase by 7%. Because of the change of outdoor temperature in cities, especially when the room with air conditioning and heating becomes outdoor, or outdoor enters the room with air conditioning and heating, it is easy to cause blood pressure fluctuation, which is more obvious in the elderly. Changes in blood pressure can also make the heart tense, leading to arteriosclerosis.

Pay attention to "keeping warm and keeping out the cold" every day. Winter is cold, first of all, we should avoid the stimulation of cold, especially when the cold wave strikes and the temperature drops suddenly, we should pay attention to adding clothes in time. When the heart and blood vessels are cold, it is easy to contract and spasm, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the heart and blood vessels, and then induces sudden diseases such as myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction. So pay attention to cold and warmth. In addition, the elderly, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, should not wash their faces and clothes with cold water, so as to avoid cold stimulation leading to an increase in blood pressure.

Be emotionally stable and avoid impulsiveness. Emotional excitement is a taboo for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension should especially relax their mentality and avoid mental stress, emotional excitement, overwork, irregular life, insomnia and anxiety. These factors will make lipid metabolism disorder and increase the risk of disease. In addition, the elderly should not play mahjong and chess for a long time, avoid sedentary, keep calm and try to be less angry. When the weather is cold, patients with cardiovascular diseases must pay attention to controlling blood pressure, adhere to standardized medication at home under the guidance of doctors, go to the hospital for physical examination on time, and intervene early symptoms in time. If you have obvious abnormal symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
