According to media reports, Xie Yuan, a film actor and former teacher of Beijing Film Academy, suffered a heart attack in August 18 and died after being rescued at the age of 6 1 year.

Xie Yuan graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy at grade 78, and has won many performance awards, such as Golden Rooster Award for Chinese film, Golden Eagle Award for Hundred Flowers Award, Golden Eagle Award for China TV series and Flying Award.

Earlier, Godfrey Tsao, a 35-year-old actor, suddenly fainted while running while recording a variety show. After nearly three hours of all-out rescue, the hospital finally announced Godfrey Tsao's sudden cardiac death.

According to China Cardiovascular Disease Report 20 16 issued by the National Cardiovascular Center, the incidence of sudden cardiac death in China exceeds 540,000 every year, with an average of one person having cardiac arrest every minute. But the success rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is less than 1%!

Six signs of a heart attack

According to Ju Yanling, deputy chief physician of Cardiovascular Department of Jinzhou Central Hospital, Liaoning Province, sudden heart disease is a very terrible disease, and people are often caught off guard because of its occurrence. If not rescued in time, it is easy to threaten life and health.

There are usually some signs before a heart attack. Pay attention to these signs, find them early, and take early treatment measures.

1. Difficulty in breathing, dizziness and deep breathing.

When you find it difficult to breathe deeply, you may think that there is something wrong with your lungs, but it may also be the result of too little oxygen in your blood due to weak heart. Officials believe that dyspnea and shortness of breath are usually the first signs of a series of heart diseases. In a study by Harvard University, 40% of female heart patients had symptoms of shortness of breath within 6 months before diagnosis.

2. The heartbeat is intensified, intense or irregular.

The heartbeat is suddenly or inexplicably accelerated, and the heartbeat is irregular. You can be reminded a few weeks or a month or two before a heart attack: you should pay attention. If it's just arrhythmia, and it's not accompanied by rapid heartbeat, the situation is slightly better, but once the heartbeat is irregular and accompanied by rapid heartbeat every minute, the body has clearly suggested that you should go to the hospital immediately. Especially after exercise, once ventricular tachycardia occurs, it is very likely to die suddenly in a short time. So be sure to ask for help in the shortest possible time.

3. Nausea, stomachache and indigestion

If you have these reactions without any obvious reason, it is very likely that you have cardiovascular problems, which leads to gastrointestinal discomfort. Blocking the artery due to fat deposition will reduce or even block the transmission of blood to the heart, thus causing angina pectoris.

4. Extreme fatigue

If you have overwhelming fatigue that lasts for days, weeks or even months, then this indicates that there is something wrong with your heart. Of course, you may say that you feel tired when you have a cold, but the constant fatigue is not caused by a simple virus. According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 70% of women will be extremely tired in the weeks before being diagnosed with heart disease.

5. Abnormal sweating

When you suddenly sweat after a period of inactivity, it is often a signal before a heart attack. For women, it feels more like hot flashes or night sweats in menopause. According to the research of the University of Chicago, before a heart attack, the body, such as the neck, back, scalp, palms or soles, will sweat a lot.

6. Shoulder, neck, chin or arm pain

Chest pain is one of the most common and well-known heart diseases, and because of this, people often ignore other similar information, such as shoulder and neck pain. In fact, the body will transmit the pain signal caused by the heart up and down to the periphery of the spinal cord through the nerve, and the radiation range includes the vicinity of the spine.

So, in the case of a heart attack or cardiac arrest, how to give first aid? Be sure to remember gold for 4 minutes.

What is the golden 4 minutes?

Timely and effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation and external automatic defibrillator are the key means to improve the survival rate of cardiac arrest.

Irreversible brain damage will occur within 4-6 minutes after cardiac arrest. At normal room temperature, after 3 seconds of cardiac arrest, people will feel dizzy due to brain hypoxia, and after 10~20 seconds, people will lose consciousness. After 30-45 seconds, the pupil will be dilated, after one minute, breathing will stop, incontinence will occur, and irreversible damage will be caused to brain cells after four minutes.

Recently, at Xuzhou Station, a woman suddenly fell to the ground and had a cardiac arrest. A girl dressed in blue rushed to carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED electric shock rescue. The woman gradually recovered her heartbeat. The woman has recovered due to timely rescue. But in most cases, cardiac arrest occurred outside the hospital, and 120 doctors basically missed the best treatment time when they arrived.

In order to strive for the best rescue time and restore the operation of the heart in the shortest time, a movable and simple "automatic external defibrillator" defibrillator AED was born. AED is a kind of medical equipment that non-professionals can also use. Placed in a crowded public place, it can defibrillation patients with heart disease and help them restore their heart rhythm. AED is called "life-saving artifact" because it can improve the success rate of cardiopulmonary resuscitation of sudden cardiac death and has excellent pre-hospital first aid effect.

Around 2006, aed was installed in public places in China. At present, there are nearly 2000 sets recorded in Beijing and Shanghai. With the help of the Red Cross and other relevant institutions, organizations and enterprises, the popularity of AED in China has greatly increased.

Therefore, patients with cardiac arrest should first dial 120, and then perform correct cardiopulmonary resuscitation or automatic defibrillation in vitro.

How should external automatic defibrillation be done?

Automatic external defibrillation uses a kind of automated external defibrillator, namely AED, which is a kind of first aid equipment specially designed for on-site first aid.

So what are the golden 4 minutes of external automatic defibrillation?

Part 1: Before using the AED defibrillator

Step 1: Call the patient loudly and pat his shoulder constantly to confirm whether the patient is still conscious;

Step 2: If the patient doesn't respond, call 120 immediately and ask someone nearby to find the nearest AED defibrillator.

Step 3: Check whether the patient's chest and abdomen are breathing. If you are not breathing or breathing abnormally, give CPR immediately.

Part II: When using AED defibrillators

Step 4: Expose the patient's chest and attach the electrode pad according to the instructions;

Step 5: Keep others away from the patient and follow the voice instructions of the AED defibrillator. Press the analysis key of AED defibrillator to analyze the patient's ECG. Wait for the AED defibrillator to report whether an electric shock is needed;

Step 6: When the 6: 00 6:AED defibrillator indicates that electric shock is needed, make sure that no one touches the patient's body; Press the shock button;

Step 7: After electric shock, immediately resume cardiopulmonary resuscitation under the condition of connecting the electrode patch of AED defibrillator;

Step 8: After 2 minutes, the AED defibrillator automatically judges whether to apply electric shock again and operates according to voice instructions; Waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

The method of "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" should be an essential first aid skill for each of us, but it should be noted that not all faint patients can use cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Under what circumstances can't CPR be used?

When a patient faints, it is first necessary to judge whether the patient has spontaneous breathing. Only patients with cardiac arrest need cardiac compression and artificial respiration.

Patients with cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. There will also be fainting symptoms, but cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not needed. When such patients have syncope, they should help to clean up the impurities in the oral cavity in time, raise the patient's neck, make his head lean back, hold his chin up, tilt his head to one side, keep the patient's airway unobstructed, and avoid choking caused by vomit entering the airway.

How to prevent heart disease in daily life?

1. Abstinence from alcohol and excessive intake of ethanol are toxic to the heart, which will weaken the contractility of myocardium.

2. Control weight According to research, weight is directly proportional to the probability of getting coronary heart disease. In addition, the probability of coronary heart disease in patients with hypertension and diabetes is twice as high as that in patients without diabetes.

3. Improving the living environment, environmental pollution and noisy places may all induce heart disease. Therefore, readers who have lived in a harsh environment for a long time suggest that you change to a new environment with no noise and fresh air, so as to be conducive to physical and mental health.

4. Middle-aged and elderly smokers who quit smoking are more likely to get coronary heart disease than normal people who don't smoke, and the probability is three times. In addition, smoking is also an important cause of angina pectoris and sudden death.

5. Law of life Any disease is related to trivial living arrangements. You should have a balanced diet, actively take part in moderate exercise, keep a happy mood, don't stay up late and don't overwork, and promote metabolism, so that the disease will stay away from you.

Everyone must maintain a healthy lifestyle and don't put too much pressure on themselves, so as to stay away from sudden cardiac death to the maximum extent.
