At present, impaired cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health is no longer a patent for the elderly. Speaking of maintenance, I don't know how to maintain it. I think I am really lucky to have access to the knowledge of nutrition and have a comprehensive understanding of our bodies. Now I want to give you some popular science knowledge, hoping to help you.
● Vascular blockage on the heart-myocardial infarction.
● Cerebral vascular blockage-cerebral infarction
● Blood vessel blockage on the kidney-uremia
● Blockage of blood vessels in legs and feet-ulceration of legs and feet, amputation.
The blood vessels in the eyes are blocked-blindness.
First, the heart stent
1, what is a heart stent?
A heart stent is a slender metal cage, which is placed in a blood vessel to open the blocked blood vessel, as shown in the following figure:
The heart stent is very small, with a diameter of 2-4 mm and a length of several centimeters. It is a hollow, cylindrical and reticulated metal tube, generally made of titanium alloy, which is the most expensive metal in the world.
2, the role of heart stent
It is like a culvert. The function of culvert is to make the water flow unobstructed, and the function of support is to make the blood flow unobstructed.
3. Type of heart stent, blank stent (bare metal stent): The stent is a foreign body to the human body, and the human body will "attack" it, leading to the proliferation and inflammatory reaction of vascular endothelial cells, which can cause restenosis and blockage of unobstructed blood vessels. The incidence of restenosis and blockage of blank stent is as high as 30%, which has been gradually used.
Drug stent: In order to prevent the heart stent from being blocked again, a layer of anticancer drugs is coated on the surface of the metal stent, which is called drug stent. After the stent is placed in blood vessels, anticancer drugs are slowly released, which inhibits the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and prevents blood vessels from being blocked again. It can reduce the incidence of coronary restenosis and occlusion to 65438 00%. Now most stents are drug stents.
4. Who is suitable for putting a heart stent?
To put it bluntly, only people who will die of myocardial infarction at any time are suitable for stent implantation.
This kind of human coronary artery occlusion is generally above 90%.
People below this level, using drugs to eliminate plaque and dredge blood vessels, will have a lot less future trouble!
Second, the consequences of placing a heart stent
Stent implantation is an emergency measure, and its function is to relieve the danger of patients who will die of myocardial infarction at any time. I can't help it, so I must not put it casually!
Stents can not cure coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction, but can only temporarily make patients get rid of the serious threat of death. The real cause of coronary artery blockage is not reduced, but increased! The idea that everything will be fine with stents is completely wrong.
1, which is open at present, is more likely to be blocked in the long run.
① Stent did not eliminate plaque, nor could it prevent the growth of plaque. It just pushed the plaque aside. The bracket is hard metal. What happens when they are put into blood vessels? Of course, it will damage the intima of blood vessels. Inflammation and platelet aggregation will occur in the damaged area, and plaques and thrombi are more likely to grow, so it is easier to block the place where the stent is placed.
② The stent is a foreign body in the body, just like putting a wire cage in the tube. The flowing plastic bags, branches and garbage are more likely to be caught, and plaques are easy to grow and block the place where the bracket is placed. Once blocked, it will die faster.
2, take medicine for a long time, "feed" this stent.
In order to prevent the stent from clogging again, it is necessary to take medicine for a long time. It costs less, and the side effects of medicine are unbearable.
The side effects of this medicine must be great. If it is not big, the medicine will have no effect!
This is because blockage is caused by thrombus, which is formed by blood coagulation. In order to prevent blood coagulation, it is necessary to pay the price of destroying the normal coagulation function of blood, so such drugs are called "anticoagulants".
Normal blood must flow when it should flow, and it must coagulate when it should coagulate. For example, if you cut a hole in your hand, the blood of the wound must be solidified as soon as possible, otherwise it will bleed and die.
Under normal circumstances, the flow-coagulation function of blood is in a state of balance:
After stent implantation, in order to prevent blood coagulation, we have to take drugs to reduce the coagulation function of blood (called anticoagulation). This breaks the bleeding-coagulation balance system of blood, as shown in the figure:
As for taking medicine, blood can't clot when it's time to clot, so I don't care so much. Saving my life is very important!
It can be seen that the side effects of bleeding caused by this drug are inevitable, otherwise, this drug will have no anticoagulant effect. This kind of bleeding is sometimes fatal.
To be effective, the side effects must be great.
So sad!
4, the inevitable side effects of bleeding.
Gastrointestinal bleeding, nosebleeds, purpura, hematoma, hematuria, conjunctival hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage, mild bruising, wound bleeding. ...
5. Other side effects:
After stent implantation, anticoagulants are usually "Polivik" and aspirin. In addition to the inevitable side effects mentioned above, Polivi has the following side effects:
-liver function damage: hepatitis;
-Blood system damage: leukopenia and neutropenia;
-Central and peripheral nervous system damage: headache, dizziness, paresthesia and dizziness;
-Gastrointestinal damage: dyspepsia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gastritis, flatulence, constipation, nausea, vomiting, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer;
-Skin damage: rash, itching;
……
This is the "gift" that the small stent brings to the patient. These drugs are not taken for two days a day, nor for two years a year. The price of money and the price paid by the body for the side effects of drugs are really endless for three days and three nights.
To sum up, putting the bracket is not the end of the trouble, the trouble has just begun!
This kind of trouble is not three days or two days, nor three years or two!
Third, other problems after putting the bracket.
1, which has higher requirements for dredging blood vessels.
Because it is easier to block after stent placement, the requirements for dredging blood vessels are stricter than those of ordinary patients. In addition to taking anticoagulants at the time of coagulation to prevent blood from clotting, other causes that can form plaques and thrombi should be removed more thoroughly, and the requirements for blood pressure, blood lipid, blood sugar control and living habits are stricter. Strict means taking more medicine, spending more money and having big side effects.
2. The side effects of drugs are not proportional to the dose.
Take drinking as an example. Half a catty of people, it doesn't matter if they drink 4 Liang, and they will get drunk if they drink 5 Liang. In the end, the side effects of 1 2 are much greater than those of the first 4. The same is true of the side effects of drugs. When taking 1 tablet, there is no side effect. When taking two tablets, the side effects may be five times that of taking 1 tablet, and taking five tablets may even kill you.
3. Now, let's calculate the account of putting the heart stent:
Economic account: save 50,000 yuan first, and then take 30,000 yuan such as anticoagulant every year.
Side effects: bleeding, blood can't coagulate when it should, liver function damage, blood system damage, central and peripheral nervous system damage ... Tossing accounts: frequent review, side effects multiply after adding drugs, and stents can only solve a small blood vessel problem. The blockage environment of blood vessels in the whole body is the same. What if there is a traffic jam in other places? Do you want to put the bracket again and again? How many times can the patient's already fragile heart bear it? For some people, money is not a problem, but who will bear the side effects for you? Who will suffer for you?
4. If the bracket is stuck again, can it be taken out?
At present, there is no technology to remove the stent from the blood vessel in the world. Once put on, it will be a lifelong companion! If the bracket is blocked again, we can only put another bracket in the bracket, and a new round of trouble will begin again.
4. What should people with coronary heart disease do?
Prevention, keep blood vessels unobstructed! This is the best way.
Why prevention is the best way? This is about the essence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
1, the essence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Hypertension, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, heart failure, renal failure ... these diseases are collectively referred to as cardiovascular diseases. It is called vascular disease because there is something wrong with the blood vessels. The problem lies in the blood vessels, which are blocked and hardened, and the blood flow can't pass. The medical term is "atherosclerosis" There are100000 kilometers of blood vessels in the whole body, which continuously provide oxygen and nutrition for the whole body and take away metabolic wastes. No matter which part of the body is ischemic, it will immediately decline and die. Rivers are the blood of the earth, and blood is the river of the body. The river is blocked and flooded; Poor blood flow leads to death.
Where blood vessels are blocked, there will be serious consequences:
● Vascular blockage on the heart-myocardial infarction.
● Cerebral vascular blockage-cerebral infarction
● Blood vessel blockage on the kidney-uremia
● Blockage of blood vessels in legs and feet-ulceration of legs and feet, amputation.
The blood vessels in the eyes are blocked-blindness.
● ……
2. Essential treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
In fact, the essence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases can be reflected literally. The words "infarction", "embolism", "embolism" and "mass" (myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, arterial stenosis and plaque) in the name of the disease all embody an essence-"blockage".
The commonly used clinical treatments such as "removing plaque", "thrombolysis", "stent" and "bypass" all embody an essence-"communication". The role of stents is also to temporarily dredge blood vessels, so the most fundamental way to treat these diseases is to dredge blood vessels as much as possible.
Human living blood vessels, the softness and smoothness of living blood vessels!
How strong the blood vessels are and how long their life span is!
Instead of spending dozens of times of money and suffering dozens of times of side effects to put stents and spend more effort to dredge and soften blood vessels after putting stents, why not spend less money and energy to remove plaques early and keep blood vessels unblocked?
3. Understanding is the first priority to make yourself healthy!
Most of us now have this situation because we don't pay attention to it; The reason for not paying attention is that you don't understand; I don't understand it because the usual medical materials are too abstruse to understand! Because I don't understand, some people even show off: "You just put two brackets? Ha ha, I put seven! "
Really speechless!
Now with WeChat, reading articles is much easier and things are much more convenient. Recently, through study, these articles are all non-medical professionals, and they are easy to understand, and everyone can easily understand the relevant knowledge. Hypertensive diabetes is a chronic disease, and now medical technology in the world can't cure it. Patients should take medicine for a long time and manage themselves for a long time. So it is very important to know this knowledge!
Remember when we were "Who will have a myocardial infarction?" Look at this table:
Nine causes of myocardial infarction
If there are four, especially the first seven, there is the possibility of a heart attack. In China, every 1 minute, 1 person dies of myocardial infarction. Please refer to this table. Friends with potential danger must fully understand the serious consequences of myocardial infarction, understand the harm of stents, dredge and soften blood vessels as soon as possible, learn more health knowledge and protect their health.
