One in every 10 deaths worldwide is caused by cardiovascular disease. According to data from the "China Cardiovascular Disease Report 2013", cardiovascular disease deaths account for the first place among the total causes of death among urban and rural residents.
Yang Yuejin, professor, born in March 1958, graduated from Peking Union Medical College, Academy of Medical Sciences, Ph.D., vice president of Beijing Fuwai Hospital, research interests in coronary heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, cardiovascular disease and other difficult problems Miscellaneous diseases.
The heart is a blood pump that works day and night like a water pump. The coronary arteries on the heart are equivalent to the power supply lines of the water pump, supplying blood to this pump. Coronary artery occlusion is like a blood pump cutting off power. If it stops working, it is a myocardial infarction.
After the heart stops working, the blood does not flow and cannot bring fresh oxygen to the body, and the cells of the body die. After a myocardial infarction, the mortality rate of patients who do not seek medical treatment in time is 99%, while the mortality rate of patients who seek medical treatment in time is only 1%. Therefore, when it comes to the treatment of myocardial infarction, it can really be said that "time is life".
In recent years, the incidence of myocardial infarction has been increasing among young and middle-aged people, and it is becoming younger and younger. Heart disease is no longer a "patent" for the elderly, and more and more young people are unfortunately getting into the ranks of heart disease. Many young and middle-aged people delay rescue due to insufficient understanding of the early symptoms of myocardial infarction, thus endangering their lives.
Data show that there are 600,000 new cases of myocardial infarction in my country every year, and the mortality rate is more than 30%. The increasing number of myocardial infarctions among younger people has also sounded the alarm for everyone: young and middle-aged people should also pay attention to their physical condition and not to suffer from myocardial infarctions.
In fact, the symptoms of myocardial infarction in many young people are not obvious and are easily ignored. However, some "micro" signals in daily life can actually be seen.
The signs of a heart attack are often mild and easily overlooked or missed. You should be more vigilant in identifying them! In fact, pain or abnormal symptoms in many places may indicate that we have coronary heart disease. The most common ones are the chest area and precordium area.
In addition, there are stomach pain, exercise-induced pain, jaw, left shoulder and back pain, and even left thigh pain. These pains often hurt for a while and then go away after a rest, so they are easily ignored.
Once the above symptoms appear, a sudden myocardial infarction is likely to occur within 24 hours. As long as these symptoms occur for the first time, a myocardial infarction is likely to occur. You should be vigilant and go to the hospital for treatment in time to prevent accidents. occur.
When you suddenly feel chest tightness and can't breathe in the middle of the night, this may be a danger signal for a heart attack. Before a myocardial infarction occurs, the blood supply to the myocardium is severely insufficient. At this time, the myocardium has no strength to supply blood to the body, which affects the transportation of oxygen. Nighttime itself is a time of low blood supply, so it causes severe hypoxia in the body and may even endanger life! If the above symptoms appear, a sudden myocardial infarction is likely to occur within 12 hours.
You may start sweating just by sitting on a chair, and this kind of sweating is not localized, but all over the body. It is a common symptom of myocardial infarction that the whole body suddenly begins to sweat violently. When the blood vessels are blocked, the person will sweat profusely and fall down. When encountering this situation, it indicates that the patient is about to have a myocardial infarction or has already had it. He should call the emergency number in time to strive for golden time for treatment.
Research shows that exercise can improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, increase lung capacity, activate the metabolism of nerve cells, and thereby strengthen our bodies. Adhering to moderate exercise every day for a long time can help consume fat, reduce blood lipid concentration, and also increase insulin sensitivity. Promoting moderate exercise will help maintain normal weight and enhance cardiopulmonary function
Patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension need Be careful not to engage in high-intensity exercise. Excessive exercise intensity can also cause a sudden increase in blood pressure, increase the burden on the heart, and trigger a heart attack.
Early prevention and early treatment of coronary heart disease are reflected in all stages of coronary heart disease. If you do not currently suffer from coronary heart disease, you must prevent the occurrence of coronary heart disease, which is called "primary prevention" in medicine; It is even more important to prevent the aggravation of coronary heart disease and the occurrence of complications. This is "secondary prevention". "Secondary prevention" is even more important for many middle-aged and elderly patients with hidden coronary heart disease.
Human cells contain an antioxidant substance that can help us effectively prevent heart disease - coenzyme Q10. The heart requires a large amount of Coenzyme Q10 to maintain thousands of beats every day. It decreases with age. The content of coenzyme Q10 in human organs reaches a peak at the age of 20, and then decreases rapidly.
When the coenzyme Q10 content is less than 25%, the heart is likely to stop beating.
Benefits of Coenzyme Q10 to the heart
Picture: Benefits of Coenzyme Q10 to the heart
Coenzyme Q10 provides powerful energy power to the heart muscle to ensure strong expansion and contraction. It is powerful and can improve the symptoms of heart failure, arrhythmia and other symptoms. It can also resist oxidation and eliminate free radicals to slow down the aging of myocardial cells, improve the body's immunity and maintain health and vitality. Therefore, it is widely used in medicine for cardiovascular system diseases.
The heart requires the most energy in the human body and is of great significance to life. Once the heart lacks Coenzyme Q10, serious diseases such as heart failure will occur. Through the effect of Coenzyme Q10 on mitochondria, the energy release from heart cells can be enhanced, ensuring strong expansion and contraction, filling the heart system with energy, making the heart function stronger, and supporting muscle tissue to produce energy.
Coenzyme Q10 is the most targeted antioxidant against heart disease. It acts as an energy motive force on the myocardium. It can accelerate blood circulation in the heart, prevent sudden heart disease, and effectively treat myocardial ischemia and heart rhythm. Abnormality, angina pectoris, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, premature beats and other heart diseases, promotes the recovery of heart function, and can increase the survivability of heart failure to 300% and prevent the occurrence of sudden death.
Coenzyme Q10 can effectively remove low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, increase the blood supply required by the myocardium, reduce the incidence of coronary artery stenosis and infarction, and prevent the formation of atherosclerosis.
As a strong antioxidant, Coenzyme Q10 can not only scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation, but also provide nutrients and energy for cell metabolism, improve the activity of the heart, brain, lungs and other tissues, and enhance resistance. The ability to treat illnesses such as the flu and reduce the side effects of common medications such as statins.
Blood vessels serve as nutrient delivery channels for the human body, and their health problems cannot be underestimated. To ensure physical and heart health, the American College of Cardiologists recommends that the human body should supplement adequate amounts of coenzyme Q10 every day, especially adults over 40 years old and patients with heart disease.
The international medical community has formed the following consensus: the appropriate health care dose for middle-aged and elderly people is 30-60 mg per day, and for patients with heart disease, 60-150 mg per day is appropriate. The content of Coenzyme Q10 in food is extremely limited.
For a 70-year-old healthy man, even if he is fully absorbed, he must eat 12 pork livers and 24 eggs every day. Therefore, only exogenous supplementation of Coenzyme Q10 can meet the needs of the human body.
