What should patients with myocardial infarction pay attention to in their daily life?

What is myocardial infarction? According to the definition, myocardial infarction refers to a critical disease in which the coronary artery of the human heart is blocked, which leads to the interruption of blood flow, thus causing partial necrosis of the myocardium due to persistent ischemia. Myocardial infarction is usually acute and does great damage to the heart. In severe cases or in the case of a large disaster area, life will be in danger if not rescued in time. However, many patients can recover if they can be found and treated in time, but the damage to the heart is irreversible, which may lead to heart failure in severe cases. Pay more attention to mild cases in life. Today, I will introduce to you what problems patients who have had a myocardial infarction should pay attention to in their lives.

Before talking about matters needing attention in life, let's talk about the medication for patients with myocardial infarction. For patients who have had myocardial infarction, according to the patient's physical indicators, anti-platelet aggregation drugs, such as aspirin enteric-coated tablets and clopidogrel, blood lipid control drugs, such as atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, heart rate control drugs and blood pressure control drugs, such as benazepril and valsartan, all belong to heart drugs. According to the physical condition, it is very important to use drugs rationally, control blood lipid, blood pressure and heart rate, carry out antiplatelet therapy, stabilize plaque and prevent the second attack of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, before talking about matters needing attention in life, I want to remind everyone that the first thing for patients with myocardial infarction is to take medicine according to the doctor's advice.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine if you insist on taking medicine. As a patient with myocardial infarction, we must pay more attention to it in our life. For friends who have had myocardial infarction problems, give the following suggestions in life:

1. Keep warm to avoid sudden cold and hot stimulation: it's winter, so keep warm. If it is summer, be careful not to be greedy. For patients with myocardial infarction, avoiding sudden cold and hot stimulation is an important aspect to reduce the recurrence of myocardial infarction.

2. A light diet and a moderate diet: a light diet means controlling the intake of oil, minimizing the risk of further increase in blood lipids, eating more fruits and vegetables, and adhering to a low-salt low-fat low-sugar diet; A moderate diet means that you can't eat too much. For patients with myocardial infarction, we should pay special attention to this. Overeating is one of the risks of inducing myocardial infarction.

3. Moderate exercise: When physical conditions permit, moderate exercise can effectively enhance cardiopulmonary function, improve myocardial ischemia symptoms, and help control blood pressure and blood lipids. But for patients with myocardial infarction, we must pay attention to what we can do, do not pursue high intensity, and ignore the possible risks of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

4. Avoid overwork. Patients with myocardial infarction should pay attention to rest. Overwork is not conducive to physical recovery and heart health, and may also induce the recurrence of myocardial infarction.

5. Don't be impatient, which is also very important to avoid the second occurrence of myocardial infarction. Mainly in two aspects, don't get up too fast in the morning. After waking up, let yourself lie in bed for a while, and don't get up too soon. Don't defecate too fast. If you have constipation, don't use too much force when defecating, which may induce myocardial infarction.

6. Quit smoking and limit alcohol. It is best to give up smoking and drinking. I have had a heart attack once for the health of cardiovascular system and other aspects of my body. Is there anything else I can't quit?

7. Have a regular physical examination. For friends who have had myocardial infarction, be sure to monitor their physical indicators, such as blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators, myocardial enzymes, heart rate, electrocardiogram and other heart conditions. See a doctor regularly according to your own situation, so as to find problems and treat them early.
