1, rheumatic heart disease
Reduce salt intake: Water and sodium staying in the body will increase the burden on the heart, so the amount of salt should be strictly controlled, and all kinds of foods preserved with salt should be eaten less.
Quitting smoking, drinking, strong tea and coffee: When smoking, a large amount of carbon monoxide will be inhaled, which will make blood vessels contract and combine with hemoglobin, so that the oxygen content in the blood will be reduced, leading to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, which will aggravate the condition. Wine, strong tea, coffee and other drinks. It can raise blood pressure, stimulate nerves, lead to increased heart rate and induce arrhythmia. The overload beating of the heart will damage the function of the myocardial valve.
Pay attention to rest: light labor and work will not have a negative impact on patients with inconspicuous symptoms, but patients with rheumatic heart disease and cardiac insufficiency must not be tired and must stay in bed. Not only that, their daily life should also be taken care of by their families.
Prevention of respiratory tract infection: the living environment should ensure sufficient sunshine and air circulation, and at the same time ensure that the indoor temperature is not too high or too low. Rheumatic heart disease is very sensitive to environmental changes, thus avoiding the aggravation of respiratory diseases.
Insist on exercise: moderate physical exercise helps to enhance people's immunity and promote metabolism. But the amount of exercise should not be too large. According to your physique and hobbies, you can choose walking, Tai Ji Chuan, Qigong, aerobics and other days. Be careful not to take part in fierce antagonistic sports.
Light clothes: loose and breathable cotton clothes are more suitable for patients with rheumatic heart disease. Of course, when changing seasons, we should also increase or decrease clothes to adapt to the changes in the weather.
Pay attention to the details of life: rheumatic heart disease, like most other rheumatic diseases, is taboo to catch cold and get wet, especially in spring, so paying more attention to some details can effectively prevent the onset of such diseases, such as drying in time after sweating to avoid catching cold; Don't touch cold water with very low temperature, don't get wet by rain, pay attention to the warmth of joints and so on.
Cultivating a good lifestyle is of great significance to the prevention and treatment of rheumatic heart disease. If you also have rheumatic heart disease, then you should pay attention to the maintenance and conditioning of daily health. Doing a good job in daily home care can make the heart healthier and stay away from all kinds of heart diseases.
2. Precautions for patients with heart disease
First, live a regular life.
Develop healthy living habits. Live a regular life and be happy, avoiding emotional excitement and overwork.
Second, improve the living environment.
Places with serious pollution and high noise intensity may induce heart disease. Therefore, improve the living environment, expand the green area, reduce noise and prevent all kinds of pollution.
Third, avoid crowding.
Avoid going to crowded places. Viral myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease and rheumatic heart disease are all related to viral infection, and even heart failure is often aggravated by upper respiratory tract infection. Therefore, we should pay attention to avoid going to crowded places, especially in the cold season, so as to avoid infection.
Fourth, a reasonable diet
The diet should be reasonable. Hyperlipidemia, unbalanced diet, diabetes and obesity are all related to dietary nutrition, so from the perspective of heart disease prevention and treatment, nutritional factors are very important. In principle, we should achieve "three lows": low calorie, low fat and low cholesterol.
Five, control weight
Studies show that weight gain 10%, average cholesterol increase 18.5, and the risk of coronary heart disease increases by 38%. Weight gain of 20% increases the risk of coronary heart disease by 86%, and the prevalence of coronary heart disease in hypertensive patients with diabetes is 1 times higher than that in hypertensive patients without diabetes.
Six, quit smoking
Nicotine in tobacco can accelerate the heartbeat, increase blood pressure (excessive smoking can reduce blood pressure), increase cardiac oxygen consumption, vasospasm, abnormal blood flow and increase platelet adhesion. These adverse effects make the incidence of coronary heart disease in male smokers aged 30-49 three times higher than that in non-smokers, and smoking is also an important cause of angina pectoris and sudden death.
Seven, abstinence from alcohol
An experiment by American scientists confirmed that ethanol is toxic to the heart. Excessive intake of ethanol can reduce myocardial contractility. For people with heart disease, alcoholism will not only increase the burden on the heart, but even lead to arrhythmia, affect fat metabolism and promote the formation of arteriosclerosis.
Eight, moderate exercise
Take an active part in moderate exercise. Keeping regular and proper exercise is conducive to enhancing heart function and promoting normal metabolism, especially for promoting fat metabolism and preventing atherosclerosis. For patients with heart disease, according to heart function and physical strength, engaging in moderate physical activity is helpful to improve blood circulation, enhance resistance, improve the function of various organs in the whole body and prevent thrombosis. However, excessive activity should also be avoided. In order not to cause symptoms, the amount of activity should be gradually increased.
