Shortly after the Spring Festival, news about the sudden death of young talents kept coming, Li Bo, vice president of Touniu Travel, passed away on the night of February 8, at the age of 44 due to myocardial infarction; on February 11, music composer Qin Zhen died suddenly at the age of 34 due to myocardial infarction caused by overwork …… heart attack, has become a young group of “invisible killer”. Regarding heart attacks, the following features are becoming more and more obvious. A. Younger heart attacks Young people have better organ function in their bodies, and according to general physiological laws, their heart attack incidence should be lower than that of older people. But in fact, more and more cases show that heart attacks are not far from young people, and even have more serious consequences in young people. According to statistics, the incidence of acute myocardial infarction in young people accounts for 3% to 10% of all patients with coronary heart disease, and in recent years, the incidence has increased, and acute myocardial infarction under the age of 45 accounts for 16% of all patients with acute myocardial infarction. Second, why does the heart attack stalk young people? 1, irregular life: after retirement, most of the elderly do not work pressure, life is relatively regular, their heart attacks are mostly related to hypertension, diabetes and other chronic diseases, lack of exercise. While the young people’s irregular life, physical labor reduction, smoking, drinking alcohol, etc., is very easy to induce heart attack. 2, do not pay attention to health: relatively speaking, the elderly tend to pay more attention to physical changes, abnormalities will promptly ask the doctor. Older people with chronic diseases, regular reviews also have the opportunity to detect signs of disease and timely treatment. However, young people mostly think they are in good health and do not pay attention to their own health deliberately, even if they have chest pain, chest tightness and other manifestations are often ignored, thus missing the best time for diagnosis and treatment. 3. Lack of buffering process: Older people who have experienced vascular aging, hypertension and heart disease have a process of “ischemic pre-adaptation”. They may have myocardial ischemia in normal times, and their bodies have relatively “adapted” to this situation by establishing new collateral circulation and other compensatory methods. In contrast, young people do not have this process, once the heart attack, the degree of myocardial ischemia may be more serious, and the sudden death rate is higher. 4, increased pressure: With the development of social and economic development, the competitive mechanism of various industries continue to strengthen, young people in society, family and workplace are under increasing pressure. The onset of myocardial infarction in young and middle-aged people are mainly brain workers, some of whom work for days without rest. This fast-paced life, the stress of work and life tend to be concentrated together, and when people are stressed, they secrete a lot of adrenaline, leading to vasoconstriction, rapid heartbeat, rising blood pressure and sympathetic excitement, which very much leads to coronary artery spasm, thus inducing myocardial infarction. Combined with the above factors, long-term so, the heart’s blood vessel wall endothelial damage, vascular intima gradually thickened, atherosclerotic plaque formation significantly accelerated, which is the basic cause of myocardial infarction. And once there is a continuous late night, excessive fatigue, smoking and alcohol abuse, poor diet and other triggering causes, blood vessels continue to spasm and contract, blood viscosity increases, local thrombosis, and eventually lead to sudden vascular occlusion, myocardial infarction. Such sudden onset of disease is increasingly showing a trend of youth. Third, the four signs of myocardial infarction to know 1, chest pain at night or at rest When the pain in the precordial region occurs at rest or at night, we should be highly suspicious of “heart attack” attack, generally at night or after rest new angina, are the precursors of “heart attack”. 2. Chest pain without obvious causes When chest pain occurs in a quiet state without obvious causes and is accompanied by profuse sweating, vomiting, nausea, etc., prompt medical attention is required. 3.Sudden panic and stuffiness When the symptoms of chest tightness, weakness and panic have never appeared before, or when the symptoms of panic and shortness of breath appear during activities or are aggravated and have a tendency to gradually worsen, it is also necessary to seek medical attention immediately. 4. Pain in other parts of the body related to exertion The phenomenon of somatic pain is associated with exertion, emotional excitement, etc. It may appear in epigastric pain, toothache, jaw pain, left shoulder and arm pain, back pain, etc. You should also be highly alert to the attack of “heart attack”. The occurrence of myocardial infarction is also closely related to temperature changes, because the instability of temperature will stimulate the coronary arteries to spasm, if coupled with coronary atherosclerosis damage to the arterial endothelium to form thrombus, it will cause myocardial infarction. In spring, the temperature is very unstable when it is warm but still cold, and the air pressure and air quality are also changing at any time. The weather alternates hot and cold repeatedly, which easily causes unstable blood pressure and greatly increases the occurrence of heart attack. In addition, the warm weather accelerates the heartbeat frequency, causing insufficient blood supply to the heart, thus causing myocardial hypoxia, which can also lead to the occurrence of heart attack. Heart attack prevention should be reinforced with lifestyle interventions Although young people do not have obvious signs before a heart attack, there are usually obvious triggers. For example, staying up late, feeling tired, emotional excitement or strenuous activities, all of which tend to cause sympathetic excitation, which can cause plaque exfoliation in the blood vessels and trigger myocardial infarction. By strengthening lifestyle intervention, reasonable and balanced diet, insisting on exercise, smoking cessation and health education, regular medical checkups, comprehensive prevention and treatment measures to detect risk factors for heart attack, and controlling blood lipids, blood sugar and blood pressure, most young people can avoid myocardial infarction. It is recommended that young people try to prevent heart attack to do the following: 1, regular life regular life, early to bed and early to rise, preferably 8 hours of sleep a day, avoid staying up late to work, avoid overdraft body. 2, peace of mind Young people, work is in the climbing stage, the pressure is very high, some people think they are physically good, when they encounter work pressure to carry a shoulder, the results may come out, may also be promoted and increased pay. Work pressure, emotional tension and anxiety, pressure can not be released, to a large extent, is also an important cause of myocardial infarction. So in the workplace, excessively high standards for themselves, strict requirements, on the one hand, contributed to be able to do a better career, on the other hand, also to their own health has laid some bad ambush. Therefore, usually try to avoid mental tension, great joy and sadness, keep a calm state of mind. 3, moderate exercise advocate aerobic exercise, more than 30 minutes each time, at least three to five times a week, is conducive to maintaining normal weight, enhance cardiopulmonary function, increase myocardial blood supply and the establishment of coronary collateral circulation. It is important to emphasize that you must choose the right exercise for you and be consistent, and avoid excessive exercise. 4, reasonable diet The diet should be nutritious light diet, should be three low a high: low fat, low calories, low salt, high fiber and vitamins. Make sure to eat on time, eat in moderation, avoid overeating, and replenish water at the right time. Food cooking should be mainly steamed, boiled and cold, as far as possible without frying and stir-frying, can avoid the increase of blood viscosity and thrombosis. 5, quit smoking and limit alcohol smoking can accelerate the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis, about 90% of young myocardial infarction patients are a large number of smokers, tobacco in the harmful substances will enhance the coagulation activity, inducing coronary artery spasm, should emphasize quit smoking. Drinking a lot of alcohol may raise blood pressure and increase the burden on the heart. 6, regular medical checkups Most of the middle-aged people who have heart attacks are subhealthy people who are usually busy with their work, and they often think they are young to ignore health problems. Regular medical checkups should be conducted at regular hospitals in order to detect problems early and strive for early intervention. People with high blood pressure, diabetes, dyslipidemia and other high-risk factors should pay more attention to treatment and strictly follow medical advice to control the standard, so as to prevent the occurrence of myocardial infarction in young people.
