Coronary heart disease has the following characteristics:
The incidence of coronary heart disease in young and middle-aged people is more dangerous than that in the elderly;
Patients with coronary heart disease without diabetes are more likely to have large-scale myocardial infarction;
Patients with diabetic coronary heart disease are more prone to heart failure;
The onset of coronary heart disease in women is later than that in men, but the condition is more complicated.
3949 is the coldest time of the year. What should people with coronary heart disease do? Today is devoted to this topic.
The aggravation of coronary heart disease in winter is a high probability event for many reasons. Chinese medicine believes that the heart belongs to fire and the five elements belong to fire. In winter, the climate in the north is dry and cold, the south is wet and cold, and there is not enough sunshine in nature. Heart yang of patients with coronary heart disease is also easily influenced by external factors, so it is weak. So it is easy to attack or aggravate in winter. In addition, cold weather will aggravate blood stasis, which is often the cause of symptoms of coronary heart disease.
0 1 Keep warm in winter. "Sunbathing" is a good way to keep fit, especially for patients with coronary heart disease. The ancients probably practiced this truth during the winter solstice. When you go out, you should prepare scarves, hats and fengshen. Of course, your feet should be warm and your face should not be blown straight by the cold wind.
Always keep the limbs moving, because we have the twelve meridians and the twelve meridians, either starting from the limbs or going to the limbs, and insist on making the limbs moving earlier than the meridian qi movement, thus reducing the possibility of blood stasis.
It may be helpful to take Chinese medicines with the functions of warming, nourishing and promoting blood circulation, such as ginseng powder and Notoginseng, 0.5g each, 1-2 times a day. Intermittent pressing or moxibustion at Zusanli, Neiguan and Zhiyang points.
Food should be cooked and eaten warm, not cold. Meat should occupy a certain proportion and should be eaten for 2 -3 days in A Liang. All oils and fats can be used, but it is advisable to keep them within 25 ml every day. Any lipid, including unsaturated fatty acid health care products, should not be excessive. The key to oil is excess, followed by variety.
In winter, patients with coronary heart disease need to make some preparations. It is suggested that the regular physical examination of patients with coronary heart disease should be arranged before winter. Patients with hypertension should always take their blood pressure before winter to see if blood pressure control is appropriate. Generally speaking, the blood pressure of patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris should be above 1 10/60mmHg to ensure adequate blood supply to coronary arteries. If you have diabetes, you should also look at the current state of blood sugar control, which is neither hyperglycemia nor hypoglycemia.
Check whether the first-aid drugs are effective, not only for angina pectoris, but also for lowering blood pressure. Nitroglycerin doesn't work well. I met an emergency patient with suspected angina pectoris, no blood pressure, and excessive hypotension caused by sublingual nitroglycerin.
Misunderstanding of treatment: the most common is infusion to flush blood vessels. Before winter came, patients often came to me for infusion to "flush blood vessels". Under normal circumstances, I would advise patients not to flush blood vessels, because this kind of "flushing blood vessels" itself has no evidence to prove effective, but it will increase some risks related to infusion, such as infusion reaction.
Misunderstanding of sports: the exercise mode is not adjusted in time according to the temperature change, and some people are keen on winter swimming and taking cold baths. For ordinary people, you can go swimming in winter, but for those who already have coronary heart disease, I don't advocate swimming in winter and taking a cold bath, because cold stimulation of the skin will cause vasospasm, angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction. Some people will go out to exercise as early as summer, which is also wrong.
