Two myocardial infarctions in 7 years
The young man’s heart is “on the verge of collapse”
The young man surnamed Yan (pseudonym) is 33 years old this year, 1.8 meters tall and weighs 95 kg . In March 2015, he suffered a sudden myocardial infarction and was hospitalized. Two of the three main blood vessels supplying blood flow to the heart were severely blocked. After implanting three stents, the danger was saved. He was only 26 years old at the time, and the doctor told him that after he was discharged from the hospital, he should get rid of bad habits such as smoking and staying up late, and lose weight appropriately to improve hyperlipidemia.
But since then, although Xiao Yan insisted on taking medicine every day, he still stayed up late to play games frequently, and smoked cigarettes every day. At 7 p.m. on January 28, 2022, he suddenly felt severe chest pain, sweated profusely, and shivered, and was sent to Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital.
This time, an emergency coronary angiography showed that 2 of Xiaoyan’s 3 blood vessels were completely blocked, and the remaining 1 was blocked up to 95%. The heart was severely ischemic and on the verge of collapse.
Expert Emergency Consultation
Heart stent surgery to save a life
Department of Cardiology, Director of Intervention Center Song Dan, Cardiac Emergency and Critical Care Center (CCU) ) Director Liu Chengwei and Director Li Bei of the emergency department jointly consulted and finally decided to perform a cardiac stent operation for him.
Liu Chengwei introduced that Xiaoyan’s left ventricle was enlarged and the systolic function was significantly reduced, which was only half of that of a normal person. Malignant arrhythmia could occur at any time, and even sudden cardiac arrest could lead to sudden death. At this time, surgical bypass surgery was done rashly. The risk is extremely high, and a heart transplant may be required in the future.
After comprehensive evaluation, the doctor decided to use artificial heart and lung for Xiaoyan, and perform interventional surgery to place stents. After recuperation after the operation, Xiao Yan recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
Sudden onset and high sudden death rate
Myocardial infarction is more dangerous in young people than in the elderly
“The age of onset of myocardial infarction is getting earlier,” Liu Chengwei According to the introduction, myocardial infarction in young people is mostly related to risk factors such as obesity (especially abdominal obesity), smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia.
More importantly, when young people have myocardial infarction, their condition is often more critical than the elderly, and sudden death occurs. The probability is also higher than that of the elderly.
Liu Chengwei explained that the heart of elderly patients with myocardial infarction has formed a certain adaptive mechanism due to long-term coronary lesions. The myocardial oxygen demand of young people is relatively large. Once myocardial infarction occurs, the onset is usually abrupt, the symptoms are dangerous, there are many discomforts without aura, and the early sudden death rate is high.
