Recently, an experienced doctor conducted an in-depth follow-up visit with 554 patients with coronary heart disease and found that most of them had 5 specific medical histories before they developed heart disease. What is the medical history? How are they inextricably linked to heart disease?
When it comes to coronary heart disease, many people think of sudden chest tightness, heartache, and even life-threatening. This may seem like a sudden illness, but it was actually foreshadowed.
During the follow-up visit, the doctor found that most of the 554 patients had a history of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity and smoking before suffering from coronary heart disease. These five "invisible killers" have laid the groundwork for heart disease in silence.
Let's talk about high blood pressure first, which is known as the "silent killer". Many people may think that high blood pressure is not just high blood pressure, and it is not a big deal. But that's not the case.
Long-term elevated blood pressure will put too much pressure on the heart, like a spring, which will be tight for a long time, and one day it will lose its elasticity.
In this way, the function of the heart will gradually decline, providing a breeding ground for the occurrence of coronary heart disease. According to the World Hypertension Day report, there are about 1 billion people with hypertension in the world, and the mainland accounts for nearly one-third.
High blood pressure can lead not only to coronary heart disease, but also to serious diseases such as stroke and kidney failure. It's time to control your blood pressure.
Let's look at diabetes, this "sweet annoyance". Diabetes not only spikes your blood sugar, but it also quietly damages your blood vessels. Blood vessels are like rivers for the human body, and if the river is polluted, then the land on both sides of the river will also be affected.
When blood vessels are damaged, the work of the heart, the "pumping station", will also be affected, and over time, coronary heart disease will come to the door. According to the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Diabetes in China", there are more than 100 million diabetic patients in mainland China, and the trend is younger.
Diabetes not only leads to coronary heart disease, but also serious complications such as retinopathy and neuropathy. Controlling blood sugar is equally important.
High blood lipids, this "greasy trouble". Now that the living conditions are better, big fish and big meat have become commonplace.
Too much oil intake can make your blood thicker, just like too much sediment in a river can lead to siltation in the river. Similarly, high blood lipids can lead to vasostasis, which can affect blood flow, which increases the risk of coronary heart disease.
According to the "Report on the Status of Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of Chinese Residents", there are more than 200 million people with dyslipidemia in mainland China. High blood lipids can not only lead to coronary heart disease, but also cause serious diseases such as atherosclerosis and cerebral infarction. Controlling blood lipids is also an important part of the prevention of coronary heart disease.
Obesity, this "modern annoyance". Many people may think that being fat is nothing, and it looks cute. But behind obesity, there is a huge health crisis. Obesity not only affects your image, but also affects the function of your internal organs.
Especially the heart, an overweight body will put a greater burden on the heart, just like a pony wants to pull a big cart, and one day it will not be able to pull it. According to the Report on the Status of Nutrition and Chronic Diseases in China, the proportion of overweight and obesity among mainland adults has exceeded 50%.
Obesity can lead not only to coronary heart disease, but also to serious diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and fatty liver. It's time to control your weight.
Finally, let's talk about smoking, a "deadly habit". Smoking not only blackens your lungs, but it can also damage your heart. The harmful substances in cigarettes can damage the lining of blood vessels, making them weak.
As a result, blood vessels are prone to rupture and blockage, which leads to coronary heart disease. According to the "Report on the Health Hazards of Smoking in China", the number of smokers in mainland China has exceeded 300 million, and the smoking age is trending younger. Smoking not only causes coronary heart disease, but also serious diseases such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol is also an important measure to prevent coronary heart disease.
Seeing this, do you already have a deeper understanding of these five "invisible killers"? They may seem ordinary, but they are inextricably linked to coronary heart disease. How do we deal with it?
The doctor gave the following suggestions: first, regular physical examinations should be carried out to detect and control chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes in time; Secondly, it is necessary to eat a reasonable diet, reduce fat intake, and maintain a healthy weight; Finally, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and stay away from bad habits. Only in this way can we effectively prevent the occurrence of coronary heart disease and protect our heart health.
In addition to individual efforts, social support is essential. The government can strengthen health education to raise public awareness of coronary heart disease and its prevention.
Through health lectures and distribution of promotional materials, more people can understand the dangers of coronary heart disease and preventive measures. The government can also increase investment in public fitness facilities to encourage people to actively participate in physical exercise and improve their physical fitness.
Medical institutions can also provide more convenient and efficient physical examination and diagnosis and treatment services. Set up a special health management center to provide people with one-stop health management services, including physical examination, consultation, treatment, etc.
Medical institutions can also strengthen the research and treatment of coronary heart disease, explore more effective prevention and treatment methods, and make greater contributions to the cause of human health.
Communities and families can also create a healthy and harmonious living environment to protect themselves from the threat of coronary heart disease. The community can organize a variety of fitness activities to encourage residents to actively participate; Families can focus on eating a healthy diet, reducing fat and salt intake, and eating more vegetables and fruits.
Family members can also supervise and encourage each other to maintain heart health.
In this battle against coronary heart disease, each of us is a fighter. Only when we fully understand the enemy, actively prepare for battle, and go all out can we achieve ultimate victory. please
Treasure your heart health! From now on, start from little by little, make our lives better and healthier!
Doctors also made a point of emphasizing the importance of mental health. He mentioned that in modern society, people are faced with all kinds of stress, and if these pressures are not released and regulated in time, they will also cause a lot of burden on the heart.
Long-term negative emotions such as anxiety and depression can lead to a rapid heartbeat and increased blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart disease. Maintaining a good attitude and learning to release stress is also an important part of preventing coronary heart disease.
How do you maintain your mental health? In addition to the previously mentioned advice, the doctor also gave the following points: First, learn to adjust your mindset and maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life.
No matter what difficulties and setbacks you encounter, believe in your ability to overcome them. Secondly, it is necessary to develop some hobbies. These hobbies can make your life more colorful, and can also allow you to find a peaceful haven in your busy life.
Finally, learn to communicate and communicate with others. Sharing your joys and worries will not only give you emotional support and comfort, but it will also allow you to become more aware of yourself and others.
During the follow-up visit, the doctor also found an interesting phenomenon: patients who have good social relationships are often better able to cope with the challenges of the disease.
They have more social support and emotional sustenance, which makes them stronger and courageous in the face of difficulties. The doctor also reminded everyone to cherish their friends and family and maintain a good relationship with them. It is also an important weapon against disease.
Preventing coronary heart disease doesn't happen overnight. It requires our persistent efforts and persistence. But please believe that as long as we work hard, we will be able to reap a healthy and happy life.
Life is so precious, and it deserves to be in the best shape to meet every tomorrow.
