Blood embolism is a serious complication for chronic heart failure, and it is like a “killer” hidden in the shadows, which can cause great harm to patients. But don’t worry, there are ways in which we can prevent it.
First of all, we need to know why people with chronic heart failure are vulnerable to blood bolts. When heart failure occurs, the blood pumping function of the heart weakens and the flow of blood in the heart and veins slows, especially when the “small vortex” of blood is easily formed in the heart room, the heart room and so forth. Moreover, there may be some changes in the blood composition of chronic heart failure patients, making it easier to condensate. Taken together, these factors create conditions for the formation of a blood clot. Once the embolism is formed, it may fall, and as the blood flowes around the body, it clogged the veins, causing serious problems such as pulmonary embolism and brain embolism.
So, how do we prevent it?
The first is to actively treat heart failure under the guidance of a doctor. It’s fundamental, like getting rid of the roots. Patients are ordered by the doctor to take their medication on time and to control their heart failure. For example, the rational use of urologists reduces the burden on the heart, allows the heart to work better and allows the blood to flow more smoothly. There are also a number of medications that improve the functioning of the heart, such as vascular stressor transformation enzyme inhibitors, beta receptor retardants, etc., which are regulated and can help the heart to return to normal functioning and reduce the risk of leaching.
The second concerns appropriate activities. Some patients may feel like they’re having a bad heart, but they won’t move. Appropriate activities can promote blood circulation and prevent “slagging” and condensing of blood in the body. However, activities should be modest and not overburdened. For example, a daily walk can be carried out with family members, starting at short distances and slowly increasing. If it is difficult to breathe in the course of their activities, their breasts are strained or they are tired, they must stop and rest. For more serious patients, simple physical exercise can be done in the bed, such as moving ankles, stretching knee joints, etc., which can also play a role.
Three is to be careful of the diet. Eat less of the fat, cholesterol, fried food, animal internal organs, etc. These foods make the blood stickier and more likely to form a blood clot. More fresh vegetables and fruits, rich in vitamins and dietary fibres, can be eaten for the good of vascular health. Also, to ensure sufficient water intake, drinking water is like “refueling” the blood so that it can move more smoothly, but not too much at a time and a few times.
Fourth is to follow the doctor’s advice as to whether anticondensers are needed. Some patients are at a higher risk of haemobolism and doctors may prescribe anticondensants, such as Wafalin, Lifashaban and others, depending on the circumstances. They must be taken strictly in accordance with the dosages and time prescribed by the doctor and cannot be reduced by themselves. Moreover, when taking anticondensatives, care is taken to see if there is any haemorrhage in the body, such as haemorrhage in the teeth, bruises on the skin, etc., and if abnormal, to inform the doctor in a timely manner.
In addition, patients and family members are required to pay more attention to symptoms. In case of sudden respiratory difficulties, chest pains, blood grafts, or sudden swelling of one side, incompetence, numbness, confusion, etc., there may have been an embolism and an urgent visit to the hospital. The prevention of haematological embolisms by chronic heart failure requires a wide range of approaches, as well as active cooperation with doctors and greater attention to life, in order to reduce the harm caused by this “demon” and to make itself healthier.
