As a super salesperson, Mr. Liao's work performance is quite eye-catching, and his monthly performance is the top three in his region. Enthusiasm for work, long-term work, irregular meals, let alone balanced nutrition. This lifestyle and eating pattern made him suffer from gastroesophageal reflux, obesity, indigestion and other problems. Heartburn is not necessarily a stomach problem. Severe coronary artery occlusion can lead to death.
A while ago, he began to occasionally have heartburn and chest tightness caused by gastric acid reflux, but he thought it was just an old stomach problem and didn't take it to heart. A few days ago, the physical examination found that the analysis score of coronary artery calcification index (CAC score) was 108, and further coronary angiography was arranged, and it was found that the left anterior descending coronary artery was nearly 100% occluded.
Qian Zhengping, vice president of Beitou Health Management Hospital, said that the power of the heart comes from the blood supply of the three main coronary arteries. If any of these three coronary arteries is blocked, the myocardium will be damaged due to lack of oxygen and nutrition, and even the heart tissue will be permanently necrotic. Therefore, it is very important to arrange health examination to master the health status of the heart and blood vessels, and the sooner you find it, the sooner you can treat it.
All the symptoms are related to the heart. See a doctor as soon as possible to avoid regret.
Most people often think that "heartburn" is a sign of stomach trouble! In fact, if you have extensive chest pain, shortness of breath, arrhythmia, cold sweat, dizziness, vomiting or numbness in your hands, and discomfort in your upper abdomen, you should be alert to whether there is something wrong with your heart and blood vessels. Qian Zhengping reminded that when acute myocardial infarction occurs, there is no warning at all, and there may be sudden loss of consciousness, blood pressure drop and even shock.
He appealed that men over 40 years old and women over 50 years old, high-pressure groups at work, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking habits, heart disease history or family history (if there is a family with cardiovascular disease, the probability of suffering from cardiovascular disease is 2-4 times that of the average person), which is a high-risk group of cardiovascular disease.
Be careful if you have chest tightness and chest pain. It is suggested that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) should be used to check the analysis of coronary artery calcification, to get a preliminary understanding of vascular calcification and sclerosis, and then cardiac angiography should be performed if necessary. Early detection, early prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, reduce possible regrets.
