How to find coronary heart disease early
Coronary heart disease is a common and frequently-occurring disease in middle-aged and elderly people. People of this age should seek medical advice in time to find coronary heart disease as soon as possible if the following situations occur in their daily lives.
(1) Chest tightness or constrictive pain in the posterior sternum or precordial region occurs when you are tired or nervous, and it will be radiated to the left shoulder and left upper arm for 3-5 minutes, and then it will be relieved by itself after rest.
(2) Chest tightness, palpitation and shortness of breath occur during physical activity, and relieve themselves at rest.
(3) Headache, toothache and leg pain related to exercise.
(4) Chest pain and palpitation when having a full meal, catching cold or watching thrilling movies.
(5) Those who feel chest tightness and hold their breath when sleeping with a low pillow at night and need a high pillow to feel comfortable; Those who suddenly have chest pain, palpitation and dyspnea when sleeping or lying flat during the day and need to sit up or stand up immediately to relieve them.
(6) Palpitation, chest tightness, shortness of breath or chest pain during sexual life or forced defecation.
(7) Hearing noise can cause palpitation and chest tightness.
(8) Recurrent irregular pulse and unexplained tachycardia or bradycardia.
Symptoms of early coronary heart disease
Angina pectoris type
It is characterized by a feeling of squeezing behind the sternum. Abdominal distension, accompanied by obvious anxiety, often spreads to the left arm, shoulder and back, and can also radiate to the right arm. Sometimes these parts can be involved without affecting the posterior sternum. What happens when myocardial oxygen consumption increases, such as exertion, emotional excitement, cold, full meal, etc., is called pain, rest and nitroglycerin relief. Sometimes heart pain is atypical, which can be manifested as tightness, fainting, weakness and belching, especially for the elderly. According to the frequency and severity, it can be divided into stable type and unstable type. Stable type refers to labor-related heart pain that has occurred for more than one month. Its location, frequency, severity and duration, yield and the amount of nitroglycerin that can relieve pain are basically stable. Unstable heartache refers to the increase in the frequency, duration and severity of the original stable heartache, which may be caused by new delivery (1 month) or may be caused by rest. Unstable heartburn is a precursor to acute myocardial infarction, so once found, you should go to the hospital immediately.
Types of myocardial infarction
About a week before infarction, premonitory symptoms often appear, such as angina pectoris at rest and slight physical activity, accompanied by obvious discomfort and fatigue. During infarction, it is characterized by persistent intense pressure, tightness and even knife-like pain, which is located behind the sternum and often involves the whole chest, especially the left side. Some patients can radiate downward along the ulnar side of the left arm, causing tingling sensation in the left wrist, palm and finger hemp, and some patients can radiate to the upper limbs, shoulders, neck and mandible, mainly on the left side. The pain site is the same as the previous angina pectoris, but it lasts longer and the pain is heavier. Rest and nitroglycerin can't relieve it. Sometimes it is manifested as epigastric pain, which is easily confused with abdominal diseases. Accompanied by low fever, irritability, sweating, cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, palpitation, dizziness, extreme fatigue, dyspnea, and sense of dying, lasting for more than 30 minutes and often lasting for several hours. You should see a doctor immediately if you find this situation.
Asymptomatic myocardial ischemia type
Many patients have extensive coronary artery occlusion, but never feel heart pain. The timing of sudden cardiac death and myocardial infarction in these patients is the same as that in patients with cardiogenic pain, so we should pay attention to the usual heart care. Even some patients did not feel heart pain during myocardial infarction. Some patients have sudden cardiac death, which was discovered only after routine physical examination found myocardial infarction. Some patients developed arrhythmia due to ECG ischemia, or were found after coronary angiography because of positive exercise test.
Types of heart failure and arrhythmia
Some patients had angina pectoris, but due to extensive pathological changes and extensive myocardial fibrosis, angina pectoris gradually eased to disappear, but there were symptoms of heart failure, such as tightness, edema and fatigue. , and various arrhythmias, manifested as palpitations. Some patients have never had angina pectoris, but they are directly manifested as heart failure and arrhythmia.
Sudden death type
Refers to the unpredictable sudden death caused by coronary heart disease, which is caused by cardiac arrest within 6 hours after acute symptoms appear. It is mainly due to the abnormal electrophysiological activity of myocardial cells caused by ischemia, which leads to serious arrhythmia.
How to prevent coronary heart disease
The prevention of coronary heart disease should pay attention to reasonable diet, including light diet, less fat, less animal offal with high cholesterol, less salt and more vegetables and bean products; To ensure adequate sleep, don't be overly nervous and emotional; Lose weight; People with hypertension should take it seriously, go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and control their blood pressure at an appropriate level under the guidance of doctors. People with diabetes should control the intake of staple food and sweets and increase the intake of miscellaneous grains, vegetables and bean products; Drink less, get rid of the bad habit of smoking and exercise properly.
Prevention and precautions of coronary heart disease
1, reasonable diet, reduce menstrual weight, eat less cholesterol-containing foods, such as animal fat, viscera and brain, as well as seafood, squid, cream, etc., to avoid overeating.
2, do not smoke, eat more light food, such as vegetables, fruits and so on. Eat vegetable oil in moderation and combine work and rest.
3. Actively treat diseases related to this disease, such as hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, liver disease, etc.
4, angina pectoris attack, immediately stop activities, rest.
5. Go to the hospital for examination and treatment regularly.
Summary: Through the introduction of the above small series, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of how to treat coronary heart disease. Patients with coronary heart disease should avoid nervousness and maintain good healthy living habits. When angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, heart failure and arrhythmia occur, it means that you have suffered from coronary heart disease. At this time, patients must be actively treated.
