Sudden cardiac death – a sword hanging over the heads of young and middle-aged people

I went to Xuchang today to attend the funeral of my high school homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang. Until I returned to Zhengzhou, it seemed to me that Mr. Wang was still alive, and he really shouldn’t have left this wonderful world so early! Mr. Wang was only in his early 50’s this year, with parents on top, a pair of daughters under him, and a good wife in the middle, he really shouldn’t have passed away! But the fact is that he did die suddenly! What evil took the life of our beloved Mr. Wang? It was alcohol, excessive drinking induced coronary heart disease myocardial infarction, leading to Mr. Wang’s sudden death. The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Department of Cardiology, Ma Jingyu This reminds me of those familiar with the sudden death of my friends and family around me to leave the sound and laughter. 5 years ago, my cousin’s husband died suddenly, aged 41 years old; 2 years ago, my husband’s brother in law died suddenly, aged 43 years old; 1 month ago, I went from junior high school to the university to the current girlfriends of the husband of the sudden death of the husband, just 46 years old. There was a common cause of death for all of these people, and that was high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. I am a cardiovascular specialist, and not to mention the sudden death patients I see in the hospital, counting the rate of sudden deaths among these own friends and family is shocking and frightening enough! So why do some people with high blood pressure remain alive for decades, and why do these people die suddenly? The truth is that high blood pressure, coronary heart disease is not terrible, the terrible thing is that people suffer from this disease but do not take it seriously, unwilling to seek medical treatment, unwilling to prevent, unwilling to take medication. The passing away of these friends and relatives saddens me, shocks me and makes me feel all the more sad. What a pity they are gone! High blood pressure and coronary heart disease are not incurable, as long as you take your medication and pay attention to lifestyle adjustments, you can live a normal life! The reason for their departure is certain, that is: either did not follow the doctor’s advice, or did not take medication on time, or did not strengthen the precautionary approach, or do not take it seriously, there is no health concept! I hope that people who read this article, must take warning, regular medical checkups, timely prevention, timely medical treatment, listen to the doctor’s advice, prevention of sudden cardiac death, from now on, from a little bit to do, from the way of life to do! Let your loved ones no longer grieve for you, let your friends no longer feel sorry for you! May we all live long and prosper!
