The heart is one of the most important organs of the human body and the driving force of the circulatory system. However, the heart is a very fragile organ. Carelessness will damage the heart and even endanger life.
What are you most afraid of?
1 fear of arrhythmia
The normal excitement of the heart comes from the sinoatrial node and spreads along the conduction system. If the activation of sinoatrial node is abnormal, it will slow down or block the conduction and cause arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a common cardiovascular disease. Usually occurs alone, sometimes accompanied by other cardiovascular diseases. There are many factors that cause arrhythmia, such as overwork, electrolyte disorder and mood fluctuation. It is necessary to eliminate risk factors in time, quit smoking and drinking, and stay away from strong tea and coffee. As long as the thyroid function returns to normal, it can be alleviated to correct heart diseases such as sinus tachycardia caused by hyperthyroidism in time. Myocardial ischemia of coronary heart disease can cause arrhythmia, so it is necessary to relieve arterial stenosis in time, and adequate blood perfusion in myocardium can treat arrhythmia.
Fear of hypoxia and ischemia
Once the heart is ischemic and hypoxic, the heartbeat stops, the heart pump function stops, the aortic pulsation and heart sounds disappear, and the general circulation and breathing also stop. The brain will be in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, which will bring unexpected consequences to the brain in about 4 minutes, and brain death may occur within 10 minutes. Therefore, we must actively prevent acute myocardial infarction and control risk factors such as hypoxia, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, hypothermia or high fever and low potassium.
Three. Fear of blood vessel obstruction
Acute myocardial ischemia or angina pectoris, leading to angina pectoris or cardiac blood flow stop or myocardial infarction. This is related to many factors, such as three highs, overeating, being too tired, smoking and drinking, and being stimulated. We should pay attention to a healthy lifestyle, adopt a low-salt and low-fat diet, avoid overwork, actively control blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar, quit smoking and drinking, and regularly go to the hospital for color Doppler ultrasound and electrocardiogram examination, so as to quickly understand the health status of the heart. Once the symptoms of myocardial ischemia appear, you should go to the hospital in time to keep the blood vessels unblocked and provide adequate nutrition for your heart.
4 fear of infection
The heart valves between atrium and ventricle and between aorta and ventricle act as one-way valves to ensure that blood can flow in one direction. However, when the heart valve is damaged, it will affect the normal flow of blood flow and lead to abnormal heart function, which will lead to heart failure. Valve heart disease is related to rheumatic fever, degeneration, ischemic necrosis, infection, trauma and other factors. In daily life, we should actively treat upper respiratory tract infections caused by streptococcus, such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis. Keep your mood stable and don't have too much psychological burden. Emotional excitement will suddenly lead to tachycardia, increase the burden on the heart and lead to cardiac insufficiency. Echocardiography, coronary CT and electrocardiogram were performed regularly.
How to maintain the heart?
1 Don't overwork yourself.
Most afraid of fatigue or myocardial infarction is too easy to lead to heart failure. Because overwork will stimulate the secretion of a large number of norepinephrine and epinephrine, leading to vasospasm, which will increase blood pressure, reduce cardiac blood flow, increase the burden on the heart, and eventually induce cardiovascular diseases. So take more rest and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
2 stay away from alcohol and tobacco
Smoking and drinking are harmful to your health and increase the burden on your heart. Cigarettes contain a lot of harmful substances, which can stimulate sympathetic nerve, cause light or heavy damage to intima of blood vessels and induce coronary atherosclerosis. Alcohol can increase the heart rate, increase the blood viscosity and increase the burden on the heart. Therefore, it is imperative to quit smoking and drinking.
Three. Stay away from takeout
Most takeaways contain a lot of salt, oil and sugar. It doesn't matter if you eat once or twice. However, if it is eaten in large quantities for a long time, it will increase the fat content in blood vessels, accelerate the aging of blood vessels, reduce the elasticity of blood vessels, and easily form thrombus factors, leading to blood vessel blockage and heart disease.
4 eat more red cherries
Summer is a good time to eat cherries, which have the highest iron content in all fruits and are rich in minerals and carotene. In addition, it also contains a lot of potassium, which can maintain normal myocardial function and help to eliminate excess sodium in the body. Eating 10- 12 cherries every day can stabilize the heart rate, accelerate the whole body blood circulation and protect the heart. In addition, eating cherries regularly can also relieve dizziness caused by low blood pressure and alleviate iron deficiency anemia.
5 eat more pomegranate
Pomegranate contains a lot of antioxidant substances, which can protect blood vessels and cells from free radical damage, and also resist inflammation and delay aging. In addition, pomegranate can also prevent atherosclerosis and reduce the risk of cancer. Drinking a cup of pomegranate juice every day can lower blood pressure, especially for patients with hyperlipidemia and thrombosis. Drinking a cup every day can improve heart blood flow.
6 eat less egg yolk
Try to eat less salted egg yolk or smoked egg yolk, because it contains a lot of cholesterol, which will increase the burden on the heart and even accelerate the development of atherosclerosis. In addition, salted duck eggs contain a lot of salt, which is easy to raise blood pressure and induce myocardial infarction.
7 Eat less fried food.
After cooking oil is heated at high temperature, the molecular structure will change greatly, the content of unsaturated fatty acids will decrease, and some fatty acids will be converted into trans fatty acids, which will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, eat less French fries, oil cakes, fried chicken and so on. Low nutritional value is not good for health.
remind
Everyone should love the heart, because the heart is very fragile. Keep a peaceful mind at ordinary times, and don't be unhappy. Because of emotional excitement and bad temper, the secretion of adrenal hormones in the body will change greatly, which will accelerate the heart rate and affect the heart rate, which is not conducive to the maintenance of the heart. In addition, maintain normal body weight, and the body fat rate is between 18~24. Get enough sleep every day, avoid staying up late and learn to decompress. Eating a handful of pumpkin seeds every day helps to lower blood pressure, relieve angina pectoris and protect the heart.
