There is a relationship between coronary heart disease and lower limb weakness. When the patient’s coronary heart disease is more serious, it can cause lower limb weakness.
1. Severe coronary artery disease can cause a drop in blood pressure, and a drop in blood pressure can lead to insufficient perfusion, so the symptoms of lower limb weakness can occur.
2. The narrowing of the coronary artery lumen can cause myocardial ischemia and insufficient blood perfusion, which can lead to symptoms of lower limb weakness.
3. Severe coronary artery disease can cause heart failure, the heart’s blood output will decline, will cause peripheral blood perfusion is insufficient, so the patient will cause the symptoms of lower limb weakness. At the same time, heart failure will induce electrolyte disorders, in which hypokalemia will also cause lower limb weakness.
4. Severe coronary heart disease can also cause arrhythmia, when rapid arrhythmia occurs, such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, etc., which affects the pumping function of the heart, and in severe cases, there will be insufficient perfusion in the organs and tissues, and therefore lower limb weakness will occur.
When the patient has weakness of the lower limbs, go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
