Cardiovascular accident is a serious threat to human health, especially the common critical illnesses of middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old. Even with the application of the most advanced and perfect treatment, more than 50% of the survivors of cardiovascular accidents are still unable to take care of themselves completely! The only way to avoid cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events at the root is to take preventive measures in advance. Summer is here, the following few can make the cardiovascular instant collapse of the action, you must not do oh! Action one: turn back hard Carotid atherosclerosis, is the performance of systemic atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. Its early manifestation is the thickening of the intima and intima, if on this basis there is an unstable plaque in the carotid artery, it is very easy to lead to plaque rupture and dislodgment, attached thrombosis and secondary stenosis, causing the corresponding hemodynamic changes, resulting in ischemic cardiovascular events. In the summer when blood volume is insufficient and blood viscosity is abnormal, cardiovascular patients should pay more attention to avoid doing such actions as “turning back” to prevent the unstable plaque in the carotid artery from falling off and threatening their lives. Action two: neck massage There is a very important artery in the neck called the internal carotid artery, which supplies most of the blood in the brain tissue. Many elderly people, due to hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other vascular pathologies, this blood vessel in the neck also exists atherosclerosis or calcification. If the neck is casually massaged, it is easy to cause the sclerotic plaque to fall off and enter the skull with the blood, blocking the intracranial vessels and causing a stroke. Therefore, middle-aged and older people over 50 years old, especially those with risk factors such as “three highs” (high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar), smoking and obesity, should go to the hospital regularly for carotid ultrasound to confirm the condition of their carotid arteries. Once found to have carotid artery stenosis, do not just massage the neck, to prevent small diseases according to the big disease. Action three: sweat into the air conditioning room There are many hypertensive patients usually have been a good control of blood pressure, but once the summer blood pressure is unstable, which is related to the use of improper air conditioning. Especially when just home from the hot external environment, due to open the air conditioning led to low indoor temperature, a hot and a cold, blood vessels will be from the original diastolic state into a contracted state, which laid the groundwork for cardiovascular events. In the summer, the three high people should try to avoid the cool and hot “stimulation”. Especially for hypertensive patients, pay special attention to their living environment, the room temperature in the living room is best to maintain between 22 degrees Celsius and 26 degrees Celsius, and keep the indoor air circulation. Action four: eat cold drinks, eat cold food into cold drinks, cold food, cold stimulation easily cause coronary artery spasm, angina, myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events. And eating cold drinks can hurt the spleen and stomach and even lead to diarrhea, loss of body fluids, prone to ionic disorders, inducing cardiovascular disease. Action 5: stay up late The long days and short nights of summer, sleep deprivation occurs, plus some people are addicted to playing mahjong or games, the spirit of a long time highly concentrated, easy to make people overworked, thus triggering cardiovascular events. Therefore, people with poor heart function must be careful to avoid. For the elderly, staying up late is a major injury to the heart. Action six: thirst before drinking water Due to the summer heat, people sweat more, coupled with the lack of attention to hydration, often people dry mouth before they want to drink water, directly leading to thick blood, resulting in cardiovascular blood volume deficiency. Sudden reduction of body fluids and thick blood can induce arrhythmias and even cardiovascular diseases. Diabetic patients, in particular, are more likely to develop arrhythmias when they sweat profusely. To avoid such situations, on the one hand, we must often replenish water, even when feeling less thirsty, and on the other hand, the diet should be light and at the same time nutritious, in order to prevent the blood viscosity from rising and prevent other cardiovascular diseases. It can be seen that the above six actions must be avoided, while the following few things can make you healthy and safe over the summer Oh! 1, control emotions: summer, heart fire, Chinese medicine reminds patients to control emotions, reduce tension, less heart trouble, so as not to heart fire gas, inducing cardiovascular disease. Only in this way can we get through the summer safely. 2, light diet: In summer, people’s digestive function decreases, appetite decreases, and more water loss. Patients with cardiovascular diseases should eat a light diet, pay attention to replenish water, eat more mung bean soup, watermelon, fruits and fresh vegetables (diabetic patients should choose fruits in moderation). 3, quit smoking and limit alcohol: Patients with cardiovascular disease must quit smoking and avoid excessive alcohol consumption to prevent unnecessary burden on the heart and worsen the symptoms. 4, appropriate exercise: patients with cardiovascular disease should avoid outdoor activities when the sun is strong to avoid heatstroke. The thermoregulatory center of middle-aged and elderly people is not sensitive, and they may still not feel very hot when the temperature exceeds 37℃, but in fact they have already suffered from heat stroke. 5, pay attention to the body: patients with cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension, should bear in mind the law of high blood pressure in the summer, such as the best self-test blood pressure often, can not self-test should also go to the clinic every 3 to 5 days to measure blood pressure, the longest interval should not exceed 1 week. If abnormalities are found, go to the hospital for testing and follow medical advice.
