Strong collateral circulation has been established. Our heart has a reserve army called collateral circulation. Part of the vascular network of collateral circulation is inherent, and it is usually in a static state and does not work. But when the trunk is blocked, it becomes active. These vascular networks expand and reshape in a few minutes to several hours, making non-functional collateral develop into functional collateral vessels, thickening and increasing the caliber of blood vessels. Angiogenesis undertakes some blood circulation tasks, supplements the deficiency of main blood circulation, or even completely supplements it.
In other words, we have a reserve army in our hearts and extra measures to ensure that the blood supply of the organization will not be cut off. The blood supply provided by good collateral circulation is equivalent to that provided by 90% narrow blood vessels. Therefore, there is no need to have symptoms when blood vessels are blocked, and it is not necessary to put stents when blood vessels are blocked!
For patients with stable coronary heart disease, in the process of slowly blocking blood vessels, the heart is also making a living, making full use of its own collateral circulation vascular network, the main road is blocked, and the paths meet, so he has no typical symptoms of coronary heart disease and can play basketball and jog every day!
How to establish and strengthen collateral circulation of the heart? Establishing strong collateral circulation is the most effective way to improve the quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease or patients undergoing coronary stent or bypass grafting. Patients with stable coronary heart disease, wheezing and palpitation when walking, do not rush to do heart stent. Try my method, maybe they can return to normal life without stents!
Moderate physical exercise here is a simple example. One of my patients took active training after suffering from cerebral infarction, and now he can use one leg and one arm flexibly and take care of himself completely. This is the recovery welfare brought by physical exercise.
What we need to know is that a certain degree of myocardial ischemia is a necessary promotion to stimulate the formation and thickening of collateral circulation. Therefore, in order to establish a strong collateral circulation, it is necessary to repeatedly stimulate myocardial ischemia for a long time, which is what I call exercise. Collateral circulation belongs to the reserve army and comes in handy. Only by strengthening training can we defeat powerful enemies! What should be reminded here is that exercise must be reasonable. The amount of exercise is too low to achieve the stimulation effect. If you exercise too much, it is likely to cause angina pectoris or even more serious consequences. The recommended exercise methods are: walking slowly to walking fast, playing Tai Ji Chuan, climbing stairs, dancing square dance, etc.
After exercising for a period of time and forming good exercise habits, you will find that the original wheezing is gone and the symptoms of angina pectoris rarely appear. Life is easier and the mood is more pleasant. Congratulations, this is the purpose of stimulating the formation and enhancement of collateral circulation!
Extracorporeal cardiac shock wave technology was first developed in Switzerland and Germany, and was applied to clinical research in Japan and Switzerland in 2004. The main principle of this technique is to stimulate the local area of ischemic myocardium by low-energy shock wave, promote the establishment of cardiovascular collateral circulation in the treatment target area, and thus improve the symptoms of ventricular remodeling and chronic myocardial ischemia after myocardial infarction.
That is to say, if some patients still have myocardial ischemia or vascular restenosis (chest tightness and chest pain) after drug therapy, interventional therapy (stent) or even bypass surgery, these patients can try extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy to form new collateral circulation and improve the blood supply to the patients' myocardium, so as to achieve the purpose of blocking the intersection of roads.
