Why should coronary heart disease be taken seriously?

Studies have shown that between 1998 and 2008, the incidence of coronary heart disease in China increased by 26.1 per cent among men and 19.0 per cent among women compared with the same period in the past. In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of coronary heart disease in China have been rising rapidly, and it is the fastest rising disease in the composition of the causes of death among Chinese residents, and has become an important disease that threatens the health of the public in China. Although the incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease in China has not exceeded the average level of developed countries in the West, but due to the unfavorable changes in the main coronary heart disease risk factors of our population, including hypertension, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, diabetes mellitus, obesity, etc., it is not far away from our country to become a large country with the incidence of coronary heart disease. According to statistics, China’s annual deaths from various coronary heart disease is estimated to be more than 1 million people. People tend to talk about cancer, and many people are like receiving a death sentence after hearing the diagnosis of cancer. However, the mention of coronary heart disease, the majority of people do not care about, that nothing serious, far from death. In fact, according to authoritative statistics: to date, the number of deaths from coronary heart disease in China is 2.5 times that of cancer, and the disability rate of coronary heart disease is significantly higher than that of cancer. In addition, many patients with coronary heart disease often die suddenly, there is no chance of rescue treatment. For example, Ma Ji, Hou Yaowen, Gao Xiumin and other famous actors and actresses loved by the audience, they all had an attack at home and left the world in a hurry before they could be sent to the hospital. And the vast majority of cancer patients from the onset to death but there are up to several years of treatment time. Therefore, coronary heart disease should cause us to pay enough attention to the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease is of great significance.
