Improper lifestyle, the cold also hurt the young “heart” blood vessels will also be “hot and cold contraction”! Cold can stimulate vasoconstriction, cold can also promote the formation of blood clots in the blood of fibrinogen content increases, which in turn induced a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular patients in major hospitals in Shanghai increased significantly. Winter is a high incidence of cardiovascular disease, to heart attack, heart failure and other effects are most obvious. Cardiovascular disease patients to make the heart “safe winter”, must pay attention to the daily life of health care, in the diet, life, medicine and other aspects of regulation. Cold easily induced cardiovascular disease over the past few days, Changhai Hospital rescued a number of cases of acute heart attack patients. These acute infarction patients across a wide age range, but the onset of cold weather related. 32-year-old Mr. Wang is 1.72 meters tall, weighing more than 80 kilograms, usually smoking and drinking. A few days ago, Mr. Wang woke up in the middle of the night with sudden chest pain, chest tightness and panic, and soon the face of the greenish gray difficulty in breathing, his family rushed him to the hospital to know, he is the proximal acute occlusion of the right coronary artery; on the same day, seventy years old Zhang Granny is also discomfort after dinner in the middle of the night by the family sent to the hospital to rescue. Cardiovascular diseases mainly include coronary heart disease (often manifested as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction), hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia and so on. Why is the attack rate of cardiovascular diseases much higher in winter with low temperature than other seasons? Due to the cold weather, in order to maintain the body temperature, the blood vessels throughout the body have been in a state of constriction, resulting in increased vascular resistance and poor blood flow. Vasoconstriction will appear two aspects of the harm: First, the blood pressure increases; Second, for the whole body blood supply, the heart needs to work harder to pump blood, its oxygen consumption increases. Elevated blood pressure can lead to a high incidence of heart attacks and episodes or exacerbations of heart failure. Together with the increase in cardiac oxygen consumption, it will aggravate the frequency of angina attacks, make the severity of pain more pronounced, and even induce the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction. Young patients are increasing In the ranks of cardiovascular disease patients, there is no lack of young faces. The incidence of cardiovascular events in the country is currently in a blowout phase, especially the gradual increase in young patients. “At present, the incidence of more young people in the group to company white-collar workers, businessmen mostly. This group of people are generally more work pressure, usually more socializing, work and rest time is extremely irregular.” Li is 27 years old and works in an IT company. Every day at noon, he usually goes to a fast-food restaurant and orders fries, a burger and a large glass of Coke. After eating, he used to smoke a few cigarettes, and often bring work to the home, stay up late at night while working overtime and smoking. He basically had no time to exercise every day, sometimes needed to work overtime on weekends, and he didn’t take any vacations throughout the year, which often made him physically and mentally exhausted. The main way to reduce pressure is to drink and dine with classmates. “In the past two days the temperature plummeted, Li came to our hospital because of sudden acute myocardial infarction.” Every year there are a dozen cases of such young patients, cardiovascular disease is no longer the patent of the elderly. At present, cardiovascular disease has appeared the trend of aging, people around forty years of age have a trend of growth in the incidence of causes such as work pressure, lack of exercise, irregular diet, love to eat high salt and high fat food, etc. may be triggered. Like Xiao Li, many young and middle-aged people lead this typical unhealthy lifestyle. Smoking a lot and staying up late often can lead to a faster heart rate and higher blood pressure. By the age of 35 to 45, they are most likely to have a sudden heart attack. In addition, alcoholism, high-sugar diet, sedentary and non-exercise, and disorganized rhythm of life can easily lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and other chronic diseases, and they are the culprits that damage life expectancy. In the opinion of experts, the younger generation in particular need to maintain a good state of mind and relaxed and happy mood, to avoid tension, anxiety and depression and other adverse emotions on the damage to blood vessels. Close to green vegetables, away from fatty foods Current research has made it clear that hyperhomocysteinemia is one of the most important factors leading to vascular disease. “Homocysteine is an amino acid produced during the metabolism of meat or dairy products. High levels of this amino acid can lead to a weakening of the endothelial function of the arteries, resulting in atherosclerosis and an increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease. Supplementation with the water-soluble vitamin folic acid is effective in lowering the level of homocysteine in the blood and improving the elasticity of blood vessels. Green vegetables, such as spinach and green beans, are the richest sources of folic acid. Eating about 3 taels of spinach a day can provide the body with 200 micrograms of folic acid, which is enough to provide effective protection for blood vessels. On the contrary, if you eat a lot of fatty foods for a long period of time, including fatty meat, cream and fried foods, etc., the carbon dioxide and lactic acid content in the blood will increase, thus accelerating the aging of blood vessels. In order to prevent cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary to establish a good lifestyle. In addition to the above dietary principles, a good lifestyle also includes the following: 40 to 60 minutes of daily aerobic exercise, including swimming, walking, jogging, hiking, cycling, etc., in order to accelerate blood circulation and enhance the elasticity of blood vessels; and at the same time, consume excess fat in the body to reduce the damage of lipids on blood vessels. Patients should not exercise in the morning. Cardiovascular disease patients in winter exercise should be carried out in the time of higher temperature, such as noon or afternoon; try to avoid morning exercise, because early exercise will have cold stimulation, thus increasing the burden on the heart. Appropriate physical exercise helps to enhance physical fitness, but patients with cardiovascular disease must be reasonable arrangements for exercise time, control the amount of exercise, avoid strong sports, such as mountaineering, fast running and so on. Warm reminder Pay attention to the cardiovascular disease issued by the “signal” So, how can you find out as early as possible on their own cardiovascular disease? “found a persistent chest tightness, dizziness, shortness of breath and other phenomena, do not take it lightly, as soon as possible to consult a doctor, because this may be a precursor to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease.” Hypertensive patients may not feel anything at all in the early stages, but some people simply manifested as dizziness, lack of energy, most people mistakenly think it is “not enough rest” this phenomenon, in fact, is due to high blood pressure. “Coronary heart disease patients may be in the activities of the chest may feel a sense of tightness and swelling, on the stairs or exercise is not enough gas, so that activities are limited, do not dare to exercise. Some people don’t care, while others may mistake it for a ‘stomach bug’ problem.” Since hypertensive patients have higher blood pressure in wintertime than in spring and summer, it is important for patients with cardiovascular disease to monitor changes in their blood pressure regularly during the cold winter months, and to have regular follow-up appointments, and to seek medical attention if their blood pressure fluctuates. “When the temperature drops the varieties of antihypertensive drugs may have to be adjusted or increase the use of dosage, patients need to be reasonable according to medical advice. In addition, patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease have some risk of stroke and myocardial infarction, and can use aspirin under the guidance of a physician to prevent attacks.” As for how to do a good job of winter preventive measures, cardiovascular patients to do a good job of winter preventive measures, mainly from the change of lifestyle, good control of blood pressure, reasonable use of medication and other aspects. First of all, we must pay attention to keep warm, in the winter indoor and outdoor temperature difference is big, therefore, cardiovascular disease patients must pay extra attention to keep warm. Especially for the physiological function decline, resistance to disease weakening of the elderly, the disease is more likely to attack or recurrence. Out of the elderly patients should prepare enough cold clothing, so as not to suddenly enter the cold environment, due to the temperature difference and the onset of disease. Second, eat a light diet. “Many people like to eat hot pot in winter, in fact, hot pot belongs to high-fat and high-salt food, and old fire soup also belongs to high-fat food.” Cardiovascular disease patients should avoid high-fat, high-salt, high-cholesterol foods and too much tonic, and should choose light, less-salt foods.
