At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the temperature changes like a roller coaster, sometimes the spring wind is warm, and sometimes it is close to freezing point. Although many articles have been written on how coronary heart disease patients cope with the ups and downs of weather changes, every time the details of disease prevention and living points are mentioned, they can still resonate with patients.
Those inconspicuous small actions and details fit in with the timing and properly remind patients to help them protect themselves at all times and avoid getting sick.
Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, referred to as “coronary heart disease”. It refers to a disease in which the corresponding myocardium is not supplied with sufficient blood due to the narrowing of the lumen of the coronary artery caused by atherosclerosis of the artery wall, thereby causing chest tightness, chest pain, palpitation and other related symptoms.
keep warm and avoid running in the wind.
When the wind cools down, it is easy to excite the sympathetic nerve, accelerate the heart rate, increase the blood pressure, contract the blood vessels of the systemic circulation, increase the peripheral resistance, increase the oxygen consumption of the myocardium, and directly affect the blood supply of the heart itself. The incidence of cardiac emergencies tends to increase significantly. Patients had better reduce going out, keep room temperature at a comfortable level, and use air conditioners or heaters when necessary.
exercise properly and avoid lying down and sitting for a long time
Lying down and sitting for a long time will slow the blood flow and cause thrombosis. However, it should be noted that it is not appropriate to do morning exercises in the morning when the temperature is low. It is better to choose a warmer time in the afternoon for appropriate physical exercises, such as walking, jogging, swimming, and Taijiquan. Exercise should be different from person to person, according to your ability, step by step, and stop at the right time. The amount of exercise should be no discomfort. If you feel a little uncomfortable, stop exercising in time. Excessive exercise will induce angina pectoris and even myocardial infarction. Constant exercise can improve the function of the heart.
reasonable diet to avoid overweight
After saying goodbye to holidays, diet gradually regained its daily routine. It is recommended to eat less and eat more meals, be 70-80% full, match coarse and fine grains, eat a low salt, low fat, low sugar and low calorie diet, and appropriately eat more foods rich in plant fiber (such as celery), at the same time, eat foods that can reduce blood fat and protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems (such as onions and a small amount of red wine). Obesity increases the burden on the heart, so you should not be overweight.
psychological balance to avoid great joy and great sorrow
Emotional is the taboo of health and the chief culprit of coronary heart disease. Many patients were hospitalized because of chest tightness and aggravation of chest pain after quarreling.
enhance physical fitness and avoid infection
Sudden cold and heat can reduce the resistance of the respiratory tract and the whole body, and it is very easy to catch cold and acute bronchitis. Recent studies have shown that acute inflammation can lead to the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques, and a large number of inflammatory mediators can destroy the coagulation anticoagulation balance of the blood system, leading to thrombosis and other pathological processes. At the same time, infection will increase the burden of the heart and induce heart failure. Once patients with coronary heart disease are infected, they should be actively treated no matter how serious.
