With the advancement of medical technology, disease subspecialties have become very detailed. The vast majority of hospitals above the second level have a separate cardiovascular department. So do you know what kind of symptoms you need to go to the cardiology department urgently? The first symptom is “chest pain”. Chest pain is not necessarily all about the heart, because in addition to the heart, there are other tissues and organs in the chest cavity, such as the lungs, esophagus, pleura, etc. However, chest pain caused by heart disease is often caused by the heart. But chest pain caused by heart disease is often the most risky, the highest rate of sudden death disease, so more and more hospitals have set up “chest pain center”, as long as you have any chest pain and discomfort, you should promptly go to the “chest pain center”. If it is clear that acute cardiovascular disease, the chest pain center will give timely treatment. If acute cardiovascular disease is ruled out, the doctors at the Chest Pain Center will guide you on which department to visit next. For example, if it is caused by esophageal reflux, you will be referred to gastroenterology; if it is tension pneumothorax, you will be referred to thoracic surgery; if it is chest pain caused by shingles, you will be referred to dermatology, etc.; and if it is aortic coarctation, you will be referred to cardiac surgery. Acute coronary syndrome, the symptoms of the posterior sternal pressure boring pain, accompanied by a sense of constriction, pain radiating to the back of the shoulder, the left upper arm, jaw throat or epigastric region, etc., the duration of most of the time in a few minutes. It can be relieved by sublingual nitroglycerin. Elderly, female, diabetic patients may have atypical symptoms, may only have the anterior region of the heart, the back of the boring pain discomfort. Acute myocardial infarction pain lasts more than 30min, up to several hours, with the risk of malignant arrhythmia, cardiogenic shock, cardiac rupture and so on. So remember the four words “chest pain center”, the key time can save lives. The second is “chest tightness, shortness of breath” symptoms, if there is a clear past heart attack, heart failure and other heart diseases, recently because of fatigue or colds and so on caused by episodes of chest tightness, shortness of breath, sitting up will be more comfortable, lying down shortness of breath will be aggravated, and even night because of the shortness of breath can not sleep at all, which is often suggestive of cardiac insufficiency, heart failure, and also need you as soon as possible to the cardiac center. This is often indicative of cardiac insufficiency or heart failure, and requires hospitalization in the cardiology department as soon as possible. Some patients also have swelling around the body, or have had swelling in the past that has developed rapidly recently, which may indicate worsening of cardiac insufficiency. The next symptom that brings you to the cardiology department is “panic”. If you feel that your heart is beating too fast, too slow, or irregularly, with a definite sense of panic, you are most likely experiencing an “arrhythmia”. It is recommended that you have a self-test of your pulse to keep track of your heartbeat, and go to the cardiology department if there is a big change in your heart rate. If the panic is accompanied by a feeling of dizziness, dizziness, or even a fall and confusion, it is more likely to require emergency treatment, which is often indicative of a malignant arrhythmia that requires immediate treatment. The above “three symptoms” often indicate that the heart disease is critical, and must be timely consultation and treatment. Of course, older people and women sometimes have less typical symptoms of heart disease, but they can be just as dangerous. If you’re in your middle age, it’s important to remember that if you’re not feeling well, it’s time to see a doctor.
