In the autumn and winter season, the weather cools, and for patients with coronary porridge scalding heart disease (cronary heart disease) there is a need for multi-faceted maintenance, with the following specific recommendations:
(b) Adding clothing: The fall in the fall and winter is evident, and those with coronary heart disease need to add to their clothes in a timely manner in response to weather changes, with particular attention to the heating of their heads, necks, hands and feet. Because these parts are relatively thin, they are prone to contraction as a result of cold irritation, leading to increased blood pressure, which in turn increases the heart burden, induces heart pain and even myocardial infarction. Hats, scarfs, gloves, thick socks and warm shoes can be worn when going out. Indoor temperature regulation: In order to maintain the appropriate temperature in the indoor environment, it is generally recommended that room temperature be kept at about 18 – 22°C, so as to avoid the indoor temperature being too low, which causes the body to remain cold for long periods and increases the stress of the heart. Controls may be made using equipment such as air conditioning, heating, etc., but care is taken to maintain a certain humidity in the room and to prevent the air from being too dry, which can be improved by, for example, using wetting devices.
Control of caloric intake: The dietary principles of low salt, low fat and low sugar are followed, and the caloric mass is controlled to avoid weight gain and increase the heart burden. The amount and type of food per meal are rationalized to maintain a balance between energy intake and consumption, depending on his/her physical condition, activity, etc.
Increased intake of vegetables and vegetables: More fresh vegetables and fruits, such as broccoli, spinach, apples and oranges, which are rich in vitamins (such as vitamin C, vitamin E, etc.) that are resistant to oxidation and contribute to the protection of vascular inner-skin cells, minerals (such as potassium, which helps to maintain normal cardiac electric activity) and dietary fibres, can promote intestinal creeping, lower blood resin and benefit cardiovascular health.
Selection of healthy fat: Prioritization of oils with high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, such as olive oil, fish oil, etc., for cooking or collating food, reduction of animal fats (e.g. pig oil, butter, etc.) and consumption of high fat foods such as fried foods, cakes, etc., helps to control blood fat levels, avoid the hardening of arteries and reduce the risk factor for the heart. Moderate recharge of water: In autumn and winter, the climate is dry and the body is prone to water shortages, but those with coronary heart diseases do not have access to a large amount of drinking water at once to avoid an additional heart burden. A small number of times water is available, ensuring daily water intake of around 1,500 – 2000 ml, maintaining a water balance in the body, helping to keep the blood cycle smooth, reducing blood viscosity and preventing the formation of a leech.
Select the appropriate mode of movement: When the weather is cold, some aerobic exercise can be carried out indoors, such as indoor walking, Tai Chi Fist, eight bands of gin, yoga, etc., with a moderate level of activity to avoid overwork and intense exercise. If outdoor exercise is chosen, the relatively warm, wind-free period is chosen, such as after lunch, and adequate heating measures, such as wearing warm clothes, hats, etc.
Pay attention to motor strength and physical response: It is advisable to have 5 – 10 minutes of warm-up before the beginning of the exercise, during which you should be closely aware of your physical feelings, and should immediately stop and rest in the event of disorders such as panic, agitation, chest pain and dizziness, and if the symptoms after the break remain unmitigated, then you need to seek medical attention in a timely manner. Each exercise may be controlled by its own circumstances in about 30 – 60 minutes, and three – five campaigns per week are appropriate. Regularity Ensures adequate sleep: every day, as long as possible, 7 – 8 hours of sleep, good sleep helps restore function to the organs of the body, reduces the burden on the heart, stabilizes blood pressure and heart rate. Regular sleeping habits, avoiding pre-sleep behaviour such as the use of electronic devices, coffee or strong tea, creating a quiet, comfortable sleep environment, helping to relax and improve the quality of sleep by listening to light music, hot baths, etc.
Avoiding lateness and overwork: The physical function of the body during the autumn and winter season will change relative to the summer, and more attention will be paid to avoiding over-labour, such as long hours of work or heavy physical labour, and to preventing excessive heart burden and cardiovascular events. (b) Stay in a good mood to avoid chronic stress, anxiety, depression, etc., which can cause blood pressure fluctuations, increase heart rate and increase heart burden. Patients can also play an important role in controlling coronary heart disease and improving the quality of life by developing interests (e.g. painting, calligraphy, listening to music, etc.), communicating with family and friends, and participating in social events.
Following medical instructions and periodic review Standardized medication: Drugs for the treatment of coronary heart disease, such as anti-blood tablet drugs (Aspirin, chlorprorey, etc.), tatinic resin (Atovatin, Rishuphartin, etc.), beta receptor retardants (Metolore, Psolore, etc.), nitrate esters (Glycerine nitrate, etc.) cannot be stopped, replaced or reduced at will to maintain stability and prevent cardiovascular events.
Periodic review: Periodically scheduled visits to the hospital for review, the items of which generally include electrocardiograms, cardiac ultrasound, blood resin, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc. Through these examinations, the doctor is able to learn about the progress of the medical condition, the effects of the medication and the emergence of new cardiovascular risk factors, and to adjust the treatment programme to the results of the review, which is generally appropriate for review every 3 – 6 months, and the period of review may be determined by the doctor depending on the patient ‘ s individual condition.
The fall and winter festival is a high-prevalence period for respiratory diseases, and those with coronary heart disease pay special attention to the prevention of infection, as it can induce heart failure, increase myocardial insemination, etc., leading to cardiovascular malformations. Take care of personal hygiene, take care to wash hands, increase and reduce clothing in a timely manner in the light of weather changes, and minimize access to densely populated and poorly ventilated sites, and protect against respiratory diseases, such as influenza, by wearing masks and, if necessary, vaccination against infections, such as influenza vaccine.
In general, those with coronary heart diseases in autumn and winter contribute to maintaining stability, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and improving the quality of life by doing the maintenance work described above.
