A blood clot is like a ghost that wanders through the blood vessels. Once blocked, it can paralyze the transport system of blood, and the result can be fatal. Moreover, blood clots can occur at any age and at any time, posing a serious threat to life and health. Why are blood vessels clogged? Blood clots are the most “silent” killer. No matter where the blood vessel is blocked, there is a common “killer” — thrombus. A blood clot is commonly known as a “blood clot”, which blocks the passage of blood vessels in various parts of the body like a plug, resulting in no blood supply to the relevant organs and causing sudden death. A blood clot in the brain leads to brain infarction, a blood clot in the coronary artery leads to heart attack, and a blood clot in the lung leads to pulmonary embolism. The most shocking thing is that 99% of blood clots have no symptoms or sensation, and even when people go to the hospital for routine examination of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular specialists, all indicators such as blood lipids, blood pressure and electrocardiogram are normal, but they suddenly occur when people are unaware or think that there is no problem with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. 99% of blood clots do not have any signs! Venous thrombosis is the “invisible killer”. Thrombotic diseases include arterial thrombosis and venous thrombosis, arterial thrombosis is relatively more common, but venous thrombosis was once considered a rare disease and has not received sufficient attention. 1.Arterial thrombosis: the root cause of heart attack and brain attack The root cause of heart attack and brain attack that we are most familiar with is arterial thrombosis. Currently, the national cardiovascular disease, hemorrhagic stroke has declined, however, the morbidity and mortality of coronary heart disease continues to rise rapidly, of which, the most obvious is myocardial infarction! And brain infarction, like heart attack, is notorious for its high morbidity, high disability, high recurrence rate, and high mortality! 2, venous thrombosis: “invisible killer”, asymptomatic Blood clots are the common pathogenesis of the world’s top three fatal cardiovascular diseases – myocardial infarction, stroke and venous thromboembolism. While the severity of the first two is widely understood by the public, venous thromboembolism ranks as the third leading cardiovascular killer, but unfortunately the public awareness is low. The most frightening aspect of venous thrombosis, known as the “invisible killer,” is that the vast majority of venous thrombosis has no symptoms. There are three main factors that contribute to the formation of venous thrombosis: slow blood flow, damage to the vein wall, and hypercoagulable blood. Patients with varicose veins, patients with hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, patients with infections, people who sit and stand for a long time, and pregnant women are all at high risk for venous thrombosis. After the occurrence of venous thrombosis, the veins become red, swollen, hard, nodular, and spasmodic pain in the mild cases. In severe cases, deep phlebitis develops and the skin of the affected limb becomes brownish red, followed by purple and red swelling, ulceration, muscle atrophy and necrosis, peripheral fever, severe pain in the affected limb, and finally may face amputation. In addition, if the blood clot travels to the lung, blocking the pulmonary artery and becoming pulmonary embolism, it can be life-threatening. The World Health Organization warns that not exercising for 4 hours in a row increases the risk of venous thrombosis. Therefore, to keep away from venous thrombosis, “moving” is the most effective preventive and control measure. Remember the word “move”, every day “move”, in order to thrombosis not on the body, a lifetime without clots! 1, long-term sedentary: the most likely to induce thrombosis In the past, the medical profession believes that long-distance air travel and deep vein thrombosis is closely related, and the latest research found that sitting in front of the computer for a long time has also become a major cause of the onset of the disease, medical experts call this disease “electronic thrombosis. Sitting in front of the computer for more than 90 minutes will lead to a 50% reduction in blood flow to the knee, thus increasing the chances of thrombosis. Use the computer for an hour should take a break, get up and walk around, stretch your arms and kick your legs, move your ankles and stretch your calf muscles. Establish the concept of “sedentary and prone to thrombosis”, and change the habit of “sedentary and immobile” in life, which is a necessary method to prevent thrombosis! 2, walking: move, from head to foot to prevent blood clots In 1992, the World Health Organization pointed out that walking is one of the world’s best sports, both simple and easy to do, the effect of strengthening and good, regardless of men and women, young and old, when to start this exercise is not too late. In terms of preventing blood clots, walking can maintain aerobic metabolism, enhance cardiopulmonary function, promote blood circulation throughout the body from head to toe, prevent the accumulation of blood lipids in the blood vessel walls, and prevent the formation of blood clots. Walking to prevent thrombosis, pay attention to the “three, five, seven” principle: “three” refers to the daily walking more than 3,000 meters, and to ensure 30 minutes, and adhere to do constant, moderate, too intense exercise is not good for the body. “Five” refers to a week to exercise more than five times. “Seven” refers to the heart rate after exercise + age = 170. for example: a 50-year-old person, the heart rate after exercise to 120 times. (Very good health can reach 190 times; bad health do not exceed 150 times, according to their own physical condition to adjust) If you think “three five seven” principle is too difficult to remember, then remember one sentence: at least 30 minutes of brisk walking every day, until the body is hot, even slightly sweating, to achieve the effect of exercise.
