Coronary heart disease is a heart disease caused by atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary arteries supplying the heart, causing narrowing or blockage of the arterial lumen, which further leads to insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle, or even necrosis. Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is the most common type of atherosclerosis leading to organ lesions, but also a common disease of middle-aged and elderly people, seriously jeopardizing human health. What groups of people are prone to coronary heart disease, that is, what are the factors of coronary heart disease that clinicians say are prone to disease? The following is detailed for you to talk about coronary heart disease susceptibility factors. First, coronary heart disease is not controllable risk factors 1. family genetic history If the family has a direct relative for early coronary heart disease history of the population, the probability of suffering from coronary atherosclerosis heart disease is high. A number of clinical studies support this view and show that genetic factors have a strong influence on coronary heart disease. 2. Age Coronary heart disease is most common in middle-aged and older people over 40 years of age, and progresses more rapidly after the age of 49. Moreover, the incidence of myocardial infarction and sudden death from coronary heart disease is directly proportional to age. 3. Gender Clinically, there are gender differences in the incidence of coronary heart disease, and male patients with coronary heart disease are more common. According to foreign statistics, the incidence of coronary heart disease in men is generally higher than that in women, and the incidence of coronary heart disease in menopausal women is twice as high as that in non-menopausal women. Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease 1. Smoking Clinically, smoking has been widely recognized as one of the important risk factors for coronary heart disease. Cigarettes can damage arteries, accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis and deprive the heart of oxygen. Studies have found that the risk of coronary heart disease is related to the amount of cigarettes smoked and the age of smokers. A foreign study found that with the increase in the amount of daily smoking, the risk of coronary heart disease significantly higher, and the risk of myocardial infarction in smokers 1.5-2.0 times higher. 2. Sedentary Sedentary, exercise is less and less attention by cardiologists. Studies have shown that the risk of coronary heart disease in people who are sedentary or do little exercise is much higher than in manual labor workers. A U.S. study found that being sedentary for several hours a day increases the risk of coronary artery calcification, which also signifies an increased risk of heart attack, and that reducing the amount of time spent sedentary every day may represent a more innovative strategy for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. 3. Poor dietary habits Poor dietary habits mainly include higher calorie diets, higher amounts of animal fat, cholesterol people, and people on high salt diets. Excessive calorie intake leads to overweight and obesity, excessive cholesterol intake leads to dyslipidemia, and excessive salt intake leads to unstable blood pressure. 4. Overweight or obesity In recent years, the role of obesity in the risk factors of coronary heart disease has been gradually found. Overweight or obese people suffering from coronary heart disease is more likely than people with normal weight. A number of prospective studies have proved that overweight can increase the risk of coronary heart disease, especially to the heart obesity (abdominal obesity) is a high risk factor for coronary heart disease. 5. Hypertension Long-term hypertension is an important risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. A large number of studies have shown that systolic and diastolic blood pressure are significantly correlated with the incidence of coronary heart disease, and as blood pressure rises, the incidence of coronary heart disease and mortality are on the rise. 6. Dyslipidemia Blood cholesterol is divided into different components, of which LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) is positively correlated with the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, while HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) is negatively correlated with the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. Prolonged hyperlipidemia can easily lead to atherosclerosis, aggravate lipid deposition in blood vessels, and develop atherosclerotic plaques, which can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. A number of studies have shown that the risk of coronary heart disease will increase with the rise of cholesterol levels. 7. Diabetes mellitus Diabetes mellitus is a high risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. Epidemiologic studies have shown that diabetic patients are prone to coronary heart disease. The incidence of coronary heart disease in male diabetic patients is two times higher than that in non-diabetic patients, and the risk of coronary heart disease in female diabetic patients is four times higher. In diabetic patients, the level of blood glucose is also closely related to the risk of coronary heart disease. 8. Psychological problems Long-term mental stress can easily lead to the occurrence of coronary heart disease. Many studies have shown that the risk of coronary heart disease in people with high mental stress is 2-3 times higher than that in people with low mental stress, and the age of onset is earlier. High mental stress causes hyperadrenaline secretion, vasoconstriction and increased blood viscosity, all of which can lead to high blood pressure and atherosclerosis. In addition, adverse emotional factors such as depression and hostility have been found to have an effect on the morbidity and mortality of coronary heart disease independently of the traditional risk factors. In addition to these major factors, risk factors for coronary heart disease include hyperuricemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, chronic alcohol abuse, air pollution, and so on.
