What are the causes of young people's sudden death?

Hello,

Young people's sudden cardiac death is mostly related to bad habits.

For many people, sudden death seems out of reach. Most people think they are healthy and can't be related to sudden death. In fact, sudden death refers to natural and unexpected sudden death, that is, a seemingly healthy person or a patient whose condition has stabilized or is improving after treatment, and an unexpected non-traumatic death occurs in a short time. Experts pointed out that sudden death is generally induced in the case of basic diseases, while sudden death in young people is mostly sudden cardiac death.

As the name implies, sudden cardiac death is caused by cardiovascular diseases, and its important pathogenesis is fatal arrhythmia. Cardiovascular disease is not exclusive to the elderly, but now more and more young people also have it. Moreover, young people are often more prone to sudden death than old people, because they take their bodies lightly.

For example, more than 20 years ago, myocardial infarction was undoubtedly an senile disease. At that time, patients were often over 70 years old and the number was small.

Today, the situation has changed a lot. Bad habits are the main cause of sudden death among young people. Smoking, drinking, irregular life and high work pressure have laid a hidden danger for cardiovascular diseases. When smoking, the coronary artery will contract and spasm, and long-term smoking is easy to induce cardiovascular disease, which is a high risk factor for myocardial infarction. In addition to smoking and drinking, sudden death at a young age is also related to high work pressure and less physical activity.

If a young person has one or more risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, smoking, high uric acid, less physical activity and family history of cardiovascular disease, the probability of sudden death will be significantly higher than that of ordinary people.

In addition, some special people are not suitable for strenuous exercise, such as fever, diarrhea, poor heart function or poor liver and kidney function. Some patients with basic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperglycemia, etc., are advised to follow the doctor's "exercise prescription" and make clear the exercise mode, total exercise amount, exercise frequency and duration under the guidance of the doctor. If conditions permit, a cardio-pulmonary exercise test can be conducted under the guidance of a sports expert to determine whether it is suitable for this sport.

For white-collar workers who seldom exercise at ordinary times, it is suggested to follow the principle of gradual progress when exercising suddenly, and the amount of exercise should be gradually increased, 3~5 times a week, lasting 40 minutes to 1 hour each time. If you feel tired, sleep less, or have a cold or heart discomfort, you should give priority to rest and don't exercise blindly. It is worth mentioning that warm-up exercises should be done before exercise, and some finishing and soothing exercises should be done after strenuous exercise to avoid fainting and other accidents.

If the following signals appear, you need to use the "golden five minutes" in time or see a doctor as soon as possible: dizziness, especially sudden dizziness; Headache, different from the usual headache, is a sudden aggravation of headache or a change from intermittent headache to persistent severe headache; Limb numbness, suddenly feeling numbness in one side of the face or hands and feet, some numbness in the tongue and lips or numbness in one side of the upper and lower limbs; Sudden temporary blurred vision or conscious blackness in front of eyes, or even temporary sudden blindness; Nausea, vomiting or hiccup, or blood pressure fluctuation accompanied by dizziness, dizziness and tinnitus.

What should I do if someone dies suddenly around me? It is necessary to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately and grasp the "golden five minutes", that is, five minutes after the accident is the golden time for rescue. At the same time, emergency calls should be made for further treatment by professionals.

I hope my answer can help you, thank you.
