Special performance and management challenges in the hearts and minds of older persons
Cardiac tremors, abbreviation, are a common heart disorder. Among older persons, the high incidence and special nature of tremors require more attention.
I. SPECIAL EXPRESSION
The behaviour of older persons in fratricular tremors is often less than typical. When young people experience room tremors, they can clearly feel the symptoms of panic, chest distress and heart attack. However, the perception of these symptoms among older persons may be retarded by a physical deterioration. Some older persons simply feel a slight lack of power, dizziness or a post-mobilization aberration, which can be mistaken for normal phenomena of ageing and ignored. Some of the elderly may not even have any apparent discomfort, but the tremors are not present, making it difficult to detect them in time.
II. Management challenges
(i) Multiple diseases
As older persons often suffer from a number of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc., the emergence of room tremors complicates the situation. When multiple diseases coexist, the interaction of drugs becomes a major challenge. Drugs for treatment of room tremors may react with drugs for other diseases, affecting the efficacy or increasing the side effects. For example, some anti-cardiological disorders may interact with pressure-relief drugs, causing blood pressure fluctuations, or with sugar-relief drugs, affecting blood sugar control. When developing treatment programmes, doctors need to take into account the synergies and constraints of various drugs and adjust the types and doses of drugs, which are extremely demanding for doctors ‘ professional standards.
(ii) Condensation treatment options
Anticondensation treatment is a key element in the management of geriatric tremors. In the event of a tremor, the blood flow inside the heart is weak and easy to form a clot, which, when it falls, can lead to severe consequences, such as brain infarction, as the blood cycle flows to vital organs such as the brain. However, anti-condensation treatment has a dilemma for older persons. On the one hand, anticondensed drugs can be effective in preventing haematosis, but on the other hand, older persons have special physical conditions, such as a possible reduction in liver and kidney function, which can affect the metabolic and excretion of drugs and increase the risk of haemorrhage. Slight collisions can lead to haemorrhage under the skin, and even serious conditions such as intracranial haemorrhage. Doctors are therefore required to carefully assess the risks of haematosis and haemorrhage for each elderly person, to determine the suitability for anticondensation treatment and to select the appropriate anticondensation drugs and doses.
III. Lifestyle adjustments
For the elderly, lifestyle adjustments are equally important. A reasonable diet helps to control the condition and should reduce the intake of high-salt, high-fat foods, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and maintain a nutritional balance. Appropriate sports can enhance health, but it is appropriate to avoid overwork and intense sports, such as walking, Tai Chi, etc. At the same time, older persons need to be careful to maintain a good mindset and avoid large-scale emotional fluctuations, as emotional agitation may induce a tremors.
Family support
Family education
– Training of the families of older persons in the treatment and care of diseases by means of CPR. Families can better remind older persons to take medication on time, to review regularly, etc.
2. Living care
– Family care, such as preparation of a suitable diet for the elderly, in accordance with medical instructions, and the promotion of appropriate sports for the elderly. In the event of emotional fluctuations among older persons, families are able to provide timely comfort and encouragement and to increase confidence in the treatment of older persons.
The particular manifestations of fratricidal behaviour of older persons require more careful observation by families and doctors and timely identification of potential problems. In the face of many management challenges, comprehensive assessment, accurate decision-making by the medical team and the active collaboration of patients and their families are needed to tackle the disease, improve the quality of life of the elderly and reduce the health risks associated with thawing.
