What are the dangers of coronary heart disease?

  The heart is an important organ of the human body, Chinese medicine believes that “the heart is the official of the sovereign”, “the main bright is the lower peace, the main is not known, the 12 officials are also dangerous”. Coronary heart disease leads to insufficient blood supply to the heart, which not only affects the function of the heart, but also causes dysfunction of other internal organs.  The incidence of coronary heart disease is high, according to statistics, every 100 Chinese people over 40 years old have 4-7 people with coronary heart disease, the mortality rate of coronary heart disease accounts for about 10% of the urban population. Since the 1950s, the prevalence and mortality rate of coronary heart disease have been increasing, and this rising trend is especially prominent in developed countries. With the continuous improvement of the living standard of our people, the diet structure has changed greatly, and the rapid economic development has made people work at a faster pace, while the awareness of self-care is relatively lagging behind, the incidence of coronary heart disease has been on the rise in recent years. From the information obtained from the national disease surveillance system in 1990, it can be seen that the first cause of death in the urban population is cardiovascular disease, 160.35/100,000, and the mortality rate of coronary heart disease can rise 2 to 4 times in more than 10 years from the 70s to the 80s. Coronary heart disease is a serious threat to human health and cannot be ignored.
