For all living creatures, the heart is the most important organ, it can provide pressure, blood delivery to the body’s major organs and tissues, and blood is the carrier of “energy”, is the “fuel” of all our behavioral activities, once the heart problems, then also Once the heart has a problem, then it also means that the “energy” is not enough, and all the major organs will be affected, and even life-threatening. When it comes to the end of the disease, people may think of cancer, which in the eyes of many people means the end, but these patients are not cancer, but their condition is not much more optimistic than cancer. Heart failure is different from the conventional sense of the disease, it can be the product of many diseases after deterioration, to be blunt is a stage, a result, the patient may be various types of heart-like diseases, and then the treatment control effect is poor, resulting in malignant changes in the function and structure of the heart, inducing heart failure. How scary is heart failure? I mentioned cancer above, and heart failure is in a sense worse than cancer, with an average 5-year survival rate that is lower than some cancers, and a poor quality of life. Whether it’s institutional statistics or internal hospital data, the results are much the same. The 5-year survival rate for heart failure patients is around 50%, which has improved in recent years, not without the development of new drugs, but still not substantial from an overall perspective, and there are still roughly in 20% of patients with a survival period of no more than 1 year. This data is alarming, definitely not lighter than some cancers, but heart failure has not been given enough attention, there are still many people just consider a minor problem, even if it has been diagnosed, still not actively go to treatment control, which may be related to the early symptoms of heart failure is not obvious, after all, China’s medical awareness is weak, the majority of people’s normal life is not affected, they do not think they suffer from serious illness, so in There are very few early stage patients in the clinic, and most of them will only go to the hospital when the symptoms are severe in the middle and late stages. After the arrival of heart failure, patients may appear these 6 abnormalities! 1. Difficulty in breathing when lying down: At night, when sleeping flat, there will be more obvious symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath, often needing to sit up to be relieved. 2.Decrease in activity: When there are no other signs, you suddenly find yourself becoming weak, and your ability to perform daily activities begins to decline significantly, usually climbing 5 or 6 floors easily, but now you are out of breath on the 3rd or 4th floor. 3. Swelling of the lower limbs: Some patients may have the feeling that their shoes and socks have become tighter, which may be a more obvious swelling of the lower limbs, and this symptom is more typical and requires special attention. 4. Nausea and abdominal discomfort: Patients have bruising in the gastrointestinal tract, so they will have more obvious nausea and vomiting symptoms, and may also have abnormal manifestations such as abdominal distention, abdominal pain and constipation. 5. Frequent coughing at night: After excluding cold and fever, frequent coughing needs to be suspected. The coughing symptoms of such patients will be significantly more frequent at night than during the day, and will be affected by changes in body position. 6. Less urination and easy fatigue: Patients will find that their urine volume starts to become less, and they will still have a feeling of fatigue even if they do not engage in high-intensity activities during the weekdays.
