Heart disease is the number one killer of human health. One third of the world’s population dies because of heart disease, and in China, hundreds of thousands of people die of heart disease every year. If a person’s heart beats 70 times per minute on average and lives 70 years, the heart will beat nearly 2.6 billion times during a person’s lifetime. Once the heart stops beating and cannot be resuscitated through resuscitation, it means that a person’s life is terminated. As the saying goes, if there is no disease, prevention is better than cure; if there is a disease, it is not too late to mend it. The key to heart disease prevention and treatment is early.
So how to detect heart disease in the early stage?
That is to look at the face: in addition to the common palpitations, precordial pain and other familiar symptoms, heart disease often has some physical signs and symptoms. If you pay attention to these aura symptoms, you can detect them early and treat them early.
These physical signs include.
1, whistling for some light activity, or in a quiet state, the phenomenon of shortness of breath, but not with coughing, coughing sputum. This condition is likely to be a sign of left heart insufficiency.
2, face if the face is gray and purple, indifferent expression, this is the late stage of heart disease face. If the face is dark red, this is a characteristic of rheumatic heart disease and mitral stenosis. If it is pale, it may be a sign of mitral valve incomplete closure.
3, nose If the nose is hard, this indicates too much fat accumulation in the heart. If the tip of the nose is swollen, it indicates that the heart fat may also be enlarging or the heart lesion is expanding. In addition, a red nose often indicates heart disease.
The skin of patients with chronic heart failure and advanced pulmonary heart disease can be dark brown or dark purple, which is related to the long-term lack of oxygen to the body tissues and decreased adrenal cortical function. The skin mucosa and extremities are cyanotic, indicating that the heart is deprived of oxygen and the blood has increased reduced blood proteins.
5. Ear heart patients have varying degrees of tinnitus performance in the early stage, which is due to the abnormal microvascular power of the inner ear, and the inner ear gets an aura signal when the disease has not yet caused a systemic reaction. If you have a coherent fold in your earlobe, it is most likely due to coronary arteriosclerosis.
6, Head and neck If a table tendon extends from the clavicle in the direction of the earlobe, as thick as a pinky finger, it is likely that the right heart is not functioning properly.
7.Shoulder weather is obviously fine, but the left shoulder and the inner side of the left arm have bouts of soreness, which may be due to coronary heart disease.
8, the ends of the fingers or toes of the hands and feet are obviously thick, and the nail surface is raised like a drumstick, commonly in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease or congenital cyanotic heart disease.
9, lower limbs of middle-aged and elderly people with lower limb edema is often a manifestation of venous blood return obstruction due to cardiac insufficiency. In addition, if the palpitations and shortness of breath from time to time are relieved only by squatting, this is a unique manifestation of violet pincer heart disease.
Active participation in physical exercise is one of the effective means to prevent and treat heart disease. To protect the heart, we recommend some of the following exercise regimens.
Physical exercise table
1, walking: walking can make myocardial contraction, peripheral vascular expansion, with enhanced cardiac function, lower blood pressure, the effect of preventing coronary heart disease. For people who will cause angina when participating in sports, it can improve the condition. Each walk can be insisted on 20 minutes to 1 hour, 1 to 2 times a day, or daily walk 800 to 2000 meters. Physical condition allows those who can appropriately increase the walking speed.
2, jogging: jogging or running in place can also improve heart function. As for the jogging distance and in situ running time should be based on the specific circumstances of each person, do not have to be forced.
3, taijiquan: for hypertension, heart disease, etc. have a better prevention and treatment effect. Generally speaking, patients with good physical strength can practice old-style taijiquan, and those with poor physical strength can practice simplified taijiquan. Those who cannot play a full set can play half sets, and those who are weak and have poor memory can only practice individual movements and practice them in sections, not in a row.
Physical exercise precautions
1, anyone, if after 10 minutes of exercise, the number of heartbeats per minute is still more than 100, should not increase the amount of exercise, should be appropriate to reduce the amount of exercise according to the situation.
2, the amount of exercise should be small to large, from short to long time, gradually.
3, meal and exercise interval of at least 1 hour or more.
4, the most suitable temperature for exercise is 4 ℃ -30 ℃.
5, exercise if dizziness, headache, panic, nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms, should immediately stop, if necessary, need to seek medical attention.
In addition, there is a point to remind everyone, should not exercise early in the morning. According to foreign scholars, 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. is the most dangerous time for coronary heart disease and cerebral hemorrhage attacks, the incidence is more than 3 times higher than 11 a.m.. In addition, the human body in the morning hours sympathetic nerve activity is higher, and the ensuing increase in bioelectrical instability, easily lead to arrhythmias, may appear ventricular fibrillation, causing sudden death. Also, human arterial pressure is higher in the morning, increasing the likelihood of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, leading to the onset of acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, when people do physical exercise, they should avoid the peak period of cardiovascular events and schedule it in the afternoon and evening.
