”It’s a cool day and a good autumn.” But for elderly people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, they should pay special attention recently. The big difference in temperature between day and night nowadays is like planting a “bomb”, resulting in a considerable number of patients going to the hospital. Experts remind, into the seasonal change, should be careful to prevent cardiovascular disease.
1.Autumn cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are prone to occur
Autumn is the transitional season from summer to winter, entering the seasonal change does not mean anything to healthy people, but if patients with cardiovascular diseases are also careless in this regard, it is easy to trigger the original cardiovascular system diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmia, pulmonary heart disease, etc..
The gradual change of cold and warmth is often not easy to immediately feel and experience, and the cold and warmth of autumn is often repeated, cold and warm, warm and cold, so that people can not prevent the cold in autumn is generally more common, but really should be prevented from cardiovascular disease. Now is the summer and autumn, the temperature difference between day and night increases easily lead to vascular spasm, blood pressure fluctuations, it is hypertension, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke and other diseases of high incidence period. The elderly should do a good job in advance to prevent cardiovascular diseases in autumn.
2.How to prevent cardiovascular disease in autumn
For patients with cardiovascular disease, although autumn is not as prone to disease recurrence as winter, it can be dangerous if the seasonal characteristics of autumn are ignored.
Autumn is the transitional season from summer to winter, cold and warmth gradually, often not easy to immediately feel and experience, and the cold and warmth of autumn is often repeated, cold and warm, warm and cold, so that people can not prevent, so in autumn cold cold is generally more common. For healthy people, this does not mean anything, but if patients with cardiovascular diseases are also careless in this regard, it is easy to trigger the original cardiovascular system diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmia, pulmonary heart disease, etc.. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular disease in the fall should first pay attention to the seasonal climate changes, which can start from two aspects, one to have a full understanding of the disease they are suffering from, to avoid the thought of light “enemy”, the second to pay attention to and understand the weather conditions, timely listening to weather forecasts, so that you can always increase or decrease clothing, to cope with, do not have in this regard Do not have any lazy, lucky, otherwise it will lose a lot because of the small. In short, if you do a good job in the fall, you will lay a good and solid foundation for comprehensive prevention in the winter. Experts remind cardiovascular disease patients in the fall should first pay attention to the seasonal climate changes. Because of the summer heat in early autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the elderly and frail people often can not adapt in time, at this time suffering from hypertension in the elderly should be under the guidance of the doctor timely adjustment of medication, blood pressure control at a reasonable level.
Too low room temperature will make the patient’s blood vessels contract sharply, prone to cerebrovascular rupture and bleeding, cerebral embolism, cerebral infarction, so patients with hypertension should not let themselves be “cold stimulation”. For example, do not eat too many cold drinks, do not use cold water bathing, foot washing. After the autumn sleep, especially to avoid the cool air attack, pay attention to keep warm.
Prevention of cardiovascular disease can start from two aspects, one to have a full understanding of the disease they suffer from, to avoid the thought of light “enemy”, the second to pay attention to and understand the weather conditions, timely listening to weather forecasts, so that you can always increase or decrease clothing, to cope with, do not have any laziness in this area, fluke, or will lose a lot because of small. If you do a good job in the fall, you will lay a good and solid foundation for comprehensive prevention in the winter.
”Autumn dry climate, is a good season for various whistling diseases, many whistling system infections, allergic diseases are also the cause of cardiovascular disease, such as viral myocarditis often caused by upper whistle infection, pulmonary heart disease is caused by long-term chronic whistling diseases (such as chronic bronchitis, allergic asthma, emphysema, etc.). Therefore, prevention and treatment of these diseases is quite important for patients with cardiovascular disease.” Experts suggest that prevention of cardiovascular disease can start from two aspects, one to have a full understanding of the disease they suffer from, to avoid the thought of light “enemy”, the second to pay attention to and understand the weather conditions, listen to weather forecasts in a timely manner, so that you can always increase or decrease clothing to cope with, do not have any laziness in this area, lucky, otherwise it will Lost due to small. If you do a good job in the fall, you will lay a good and solid foundation for comprehensive prevention in the winter.
Due to the early autumn heat is not dispersed, the temperature difference between day and night, the elderly and frail people often can not adapt in time, at this time suffering from hypertension in the elderly should be under the guidance of doctors to adjust the medication in a timely manner, the blood pressure control at a reasonable level.
3, careful prevention is essential
The temperature difference between day and night in autumn, the body’s vasoconstriction and diastolic changes, blood pressure is prone to fluctuations, which is one of the main causes of cardiac insufficiency.
The more serious of cardiovascular diseases is cardiac insufficiency, patients with cardiac insufficiency, in addition to the autumn to pay more attention to the treatment of primary diseases (i.e., diseases causing cardiac insufficiency such as coronary heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, pulmonary heart disease, etc.), for the treatment of cardiac insufficiency (such as cardiac strengthening, diuretic, vascular expansion), but also pay attention to the following matters.
① Prevention of various infections. Infections are the primary cause of heart failure. Because of the poor resistance of heart failure patients, special attention should be paid to infections, such as respiratory tract infections (cold and fever, pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.) and urinary tract infections (more common in female patients). Especially in late autumn, it is very easy to catch a cold.
② Avoid medium-intensity physical activities to reduce the burden on the heart.
③Emotions should not be overly excited. Emotional excitement can cause sympathetic excitement, resulting in a faster heartbeat and an increased heart burden.
④Strictly control the intake of salt. Excessive salt intake in the diet is the “enemy” of heart disease, but too little salt intake does not meet the body’s needs and can lead to other diseases (such as hyponatremia). What is the appropriate amount of salt to consume? It is usually limited to about 5 grams per day for mild patients, and moderately reduced for moderate to severe patients.
⑤ Do not give intravenous fluids too fast and too much.
⑥Symptoms such as heartburn, chest tightness and breath-holding should be treated early.
(7) Do not abuse cardiovascular system drugs, and follow medical advice. Because some drugs can inhibit the contraction of the heart muscle, common ones are insulin, betalactam, reserpine, quinidine, isoptin, compound antihypertensive tablets, etc. should be noted.
In short, the health of the elderly is particularly important, autumn cardiovascular disease prevention work must not be less, or disease outbreak will bring serious consequences.
