It turns warm and cold, winter and spring alternate. After a winter, the temperature gradually rises in early spring, but the temperature difference between day and night is large. Most patients with cardiovascular diseases believe that winter (November-January) is the "high incidence period" of the disease, so they relax their vigilance. Facts have proved that every spring (March-April) month), acute cardiovascular events still occur frequently, and this stage is also the peak period of cardiovascular disease. The root cause is related to the rapid changes in cardiovascular diastolic function and blood circulation caused by frequent cold air activities, sudden rises and falls, and large fluctuations in temperature in spring; in addition, most patients with cardiovascular disease are elderly, and the body regulation of this group Their ability and adaptability are poor, and they are combined with a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Their judgment and response to diseases are relatively delayed compared with young people, and treatment is often delayed due to carelessness. Therefore, it is particularly important to try to avoid acute cardiovascular events during exchanges in winter and spring. Remember the following tips to keep you away from diseases.
If chest tightness, chest pain, and abdominal discomfort occur during daily activities or rest, sometimes there will be palpitations, sweating, fatigue, dizziness, and even shortness of breath and suffocation after activities, and the inability to lie down at night with paroxysmal If you have difficulty breathing, lower limb edema and other uncomfortable symptoms, you should seek medical treatment promptly to avoid aggravation of the condition and delay in treatment.
Live a regular life, go to bed early and get up early; pay attention to the balance between work and rest, keep a comfortable mood, and avoid excessive fatigue, long-term stress, or agitation; form good self-monitoring habits and regularly monitor blood pressure and heart rate fluctuations.
Avoid lying or sitting for long periods of time, and participate in physical exercises within your ability to promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism, such as outdoor walking, Tai Chi, Qigong, etc.; arrange exercise time and exercise cycles reasonably, and do not participate Extreme sports and long-distance travel; the amount of exercise should be done within your ability, so as not to increase discomfort symptoms.
Daily nutrition needs to be balanced. Patients with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes should pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet. Try to quit smoking and drink less, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less animal fats. and animal offal; eat more foods rich in crude fiber to keep defecation smooth.
Regular outpatient review. After the outpatient doctor adjusts the treatment plan according to individual circumstances, you need to take the medicine on time. Do not adjust the drug dosage or even stop taking the medicine on your own. When going out, you need to carry cardiac emergency medicine such as "Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, Nitroglycerin Tablets", etc., in case of an angina pectoris attack; if an emergency occurs, you need to stop all activities immediately, lie down, and move as little as possible. Contact emergency services immediately.
Department Introduction
The Cardiac Medicine Department of Aerospace Center Hospital is a key discipline in our hospital and has five professional disciplines: Cardiovascular Medicine, Cardiovascular Surgery, Cardiac Care Center (CCU), and Cardiovascular Surgery. Vascular interventional diagnosis and treatment center and cardiac function room. With its professional achievements in the cardiovascular field, it was awarded the "American Heart Association Professional Demonstration Center" by the American Heart Association in 2012. In 2017, it was awarded as one of the “First Batch of Chinese Atrial Fibrillation Center Construction Units” by the China Cardiovascular Health Alliance.
The subject leader, Director Ding Chunhua, is a doctor of medicine, doctoral supervisor, chief physician, and cardiovascular medicine researcher. He is a returned expert introduced by our hospital from the Heart Center of the University of California, San Francisco, specializing in cardiovascular diseases. Diagnosis and treatment, focusing on the diagnosis, treatment and research of arrhythmia-related diseases, and has successfully rescued patients with malignant arrhythmia and heart failure 174 times with electric defibrillation. He serves as a visiting professor at the University of California, San Francisco, an editorial board member of Heart Rhythm, an internationally authoritative journal on cardiac arrhythmia, and a reviewer of Circulation, Applied Physiology and other magazines. He is a member of the American Heart Rhythm Association, a member of the Chinese American Heart Association, a member of the North American Chinese Biomedical Association, a member of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association’s Cardiac Rhythm Professional Committee, a member of the ECG Technology Training Expert Committee, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese Society of Clinical Electrocardiology, and a member of the Beijing Heart Society.
The department currently has 5 chief physicians, 11 deputy chief physicians, 7 attending physicians, 1 graduate tutor, 2 postdocs, 4 PhDs, and 16 masters. It is a postgraduate training program of Peking University. Points, with cardiovascular professional national drug clinical trial qualifications. Our department has strong medical staff and is divided into arrhythmia group, coronary heart disease intervention group, critical heart disease group, drug treatment group, and cardiac surgery group. We are committed to providing patients with comprehensive, professional, safe, and efficient cardiac medical services. .
Our department currently has 74 beds, including 9 intensive care beds. It is equipped with HP monitoring equipment, defibrillation equipment, temporary pacing devices, digital flat-panel angiography machines (DSA), and aortic intra-aortic monitoring equipment. Various diagnostic and treatment equipment such as balloon counterpulsation pump (IABP), intravascular ultrasound imaging system (IVUS) with tissue plaque analysis function, and three-dimensional navigation mapping systems such as Carto and Ensite.
Our cardiology department is highly skilled and provides routine diagnosis and treatment of various cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, hypertension, heart failure, hyperlipidemia, myocarditis, congenital heart disease, etc. Abnormalities, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and other interventional diagnosis and treatment techniques. The Department of Cardiology is among the best in the country in radiofrequency ablation and pacemaker/ICD implantation for arrhythmias, complex coronary intervention, and balloon dilation for mitral valve stenosis.
Our Department of Cardiovascular Surgery has strong strength and is an important sub-professional group of the center. It has a strong medical team, all with doctorate and master's degrees. Its business covers off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, major Open surgical treatment such as vascular disease intervention and total arch replacement, various cardiac surgeries such as complex congenital heart disease and rheumatic heart disease, surgical treatment of incisional infection after complex severe cardiac surgery, advanced surgical equipment, excellent extracorporeal circulation technology, and monitoring The level is first-rate, and the surgical success rate reaches the domestic advanced level. The number of complex and severe surgeries per year is stable at around 150, and surgical complications and mortality are extremely low, and it has a good reputation among patients.
Our department has given full play to the advantages of cardiovascular medicine and surgery, and has taken the lead in establishing an extracorporeal life support team in the western district of Beijing. It has implemented extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) technology and successfully treated many cases of heart failure that were ineffective with conventional treatments. , respiratory failure and critically ill patients, and has been highly praised by industry experts.
After more than 40 years of development and growth, the Department of Cardiology has now become a large comprehensive department integrating clinical, teaching and scientific research. The department innovates in medical technology, management systems, academic exchanges, cultural construction and doctor-patient harmony, and is people-oriented to create the best treatment environment and provide the best treatment plan for cardiovascular patients.
