Risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease

  Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of human beings, and has long been the disease with the highest incidence and disability rate in modern society. As we all know, there are a large number of people at risk of cardiovascular disease in China, including 160 million hypertensive patients; 160 million hyperlipidemia patients; 200 million overweight people; 60 million obese people; 20 million diabetics; 350 million smokers, and a large number of alcohol drinkers and people lacking physical activity. If active and effective measures are not taken, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases will grow further. There is a significant rejuvenation of cardiovascular diseases and a substantial increase in the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases in the elderly. Therefore, controlling the risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases has a very important clinical significance and social value for the effective prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.  So, do you know what are the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease?  First, the traditional risk factors 1, smoking: research has found that smoking is involved in the occurrence of coronary artery disease and sudden death through a variety of mechanisms, including the promotion of atherosclerosis and coronary artery thrombosis, promote coronary artery spasm, etc.. It can also make blood pressure rise, heart rate increase, the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias.  2, hypertension: blood pressure levels from 110M75mmHg, with blood pressure increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity continues to increase. With blood pressure 180M110mmHg, the risk of cardiovascular morbidity increases 10 times. A large number of clinical data analysis, as long as the systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure decreases, the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events will be reduced.  3, dyslipidemia: correction of dyslipidemia can significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease events. Dyslipidemia has a synergistic pathogenic effect when it exists together with other risk factors.  4.Metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, abnormal glucose tolerance: are independent risk factors for atherosclerotic disease. These risk factors interact with each other to further increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.  Second, the new risk factors 1, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein: involved in the development of atherosclerosis process.  2.Homocysteine: a large number of epidemiological and clinical shows that hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.  3, abnormal coagulation and fibrinolytic mechanism: thrombosis is closely related to the dysfunction of endothelial and coagulation system, and normal fibrinolytic system can prevent thrombosis.  4, arterial intima thickening: carotid arteriosclerosis and coronary arteriosclerosis have similar risk factors and pathogenesis.  5, hyperuricemia: Several studies have shown that elevated uric acid levels are an independent risk factor for increased mortality in the early stages of acute myocardial infarction.  Cardiovascular disease is a disease closely related to lifestyle. Unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking, overweight, heavy alcohol consumption, unreasonable diet structure, lack of physical activity, excessive mental stress and abnormal psychological state can lead to or accelerate the development of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, improving lifestyle can lead to a lower risk of cardiovascular events.
