Acute infarction: You need common sense.
Acute heart infarction (acute myocardial infarction) is a serious heart disease for which many celebrities have paid the price of their lives. For example, the famous musician and composer Beethoven died in 1827, partly because of heart problems. In the modern world, many people, such as the famous athlete Cobb Bryant, also died early due to heart problems. Understanding the symptoms of acute heart infarction, the causes, the risk factors and the emergency response approach are essential to each of us.
I. Symptoms of acute heart attack
Acute heart infarction symptoms vary from person to person, but are common:
1. Breast pain: It usually manifests itself in a continuous chest pain, such as a sense of oppression or strangulation, which can sometimes be directed to the shoulder, back, neck, chin or arm.
Breathing: Even in a static state, breathing difficulties may be felt.
3. Sweat: sudden and heavy sweat, accompanied by anxiety.
Disgusting and vomiting: Some patients may feel sick and even vomiting.
5. Sudden loss of consciousness: In serious cases, it can lead to loss of consciousness.
If you or someone around you have the symptoms described above, you should immediately have access to a doctor.
II. Causes of acute heart infarction
The main reason for acute heart infarction is the hardening of coronary porridge. In short, the vascular walls of the heart are deposited in fat, cholesterol, etc., and form specks. When these spots break, they form a blood clot, block the flow of blood and lead to a lack of oxygen in the heart.
Risk factors
Risk factors for acute heart infarction include:
1. High blood pressure: Excessive long-term blood pressure increases the heart burden.
2. High cholesterol: High levels of cholesterol in blood accelerate artery sclerosis.
Diabetes: People with diabetes are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
4. Tobacco use: Tobacco use can harm blood vessels and increase the risk of heart infarction.
Obesity and lack of exercise: Excessive weight and lack of exercise are both dangerous factors.
Family history: People with a heart attack family history are at higher risk.
IV. Prevention of acute infarction
In order to prevent acute infarction, we can start with the following:
1. Healthy diet: Eat more fruit, vegetables, whole grains and reduce the ingestion of saturated and trans-fat.
2. Maintenance of appropriate weight: Control of body weight within a healthy range through a reasonable diet and regular exercise.
3. Regular exercise: a medium-intensity exercise of at least 150 minutes per week, which helps to improve heart health.
4. Periodic medical examinations: periodic monitoring of blood pressure, sugar and resin levels, timely detection of problems.
5. Prohibition of smoking: cessation of smoking can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and proper drinking can also contribute to heart health.
Emergency response to acute heart infarction
In the event of acute heart attack, the following measures should be taken immediately:
1. Call for first aid: in China, call 120 for professional assistance.
2. Stay calm: try to stay calm and avoid intense activity.
3. Drug use: Aspirin may be taken while awaiting rescue if prescribed by a doctor (provided there is no allergy).
Access to the nearest hospital: To the nearest hospital as far as possible and within “gold time”, as conditions permit.
Concluding remarks
Acute heart infarction is a preventable and treatable disease. Raising awareness of self-protection, health care and regular medical check-ups can effectively reduce the incidence of heart troubles. If there is a family history of illness or other high-risk factors, there is a need for regular communication with doctors to develop individualized prevention plans. Protect the heart to enjoy life better.
