“Coronary heart disease” must be familiar to everyone. It is one of the most common cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in my country. Its clinical full name is coronary heart disease.
It refers to the coronary blood vessels that were originally unobstructed, which gradually became narrowed due to aging, three high diseases, and atherosclerosis, which in turn affected the blood supply to the myocardium. symptoms that occur.
The most typical symptom of coronary heart disease is angina /strong>, patients often have a sudden attack during a period of intense physical activity and emotional agitation.
If the condition has not been effectively controlled and the living and eating habits have not been improved, the patient’s condition may become more and more serious. Once the coronary artery is completely blocked and thrombosis occurs , it may cause sudden myocardial infarction, and the patient may even die suddenly due to myocardial infarction.
Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease not only need to cooperate with doctors for active treatment, but also pay attention to life adjustment. In particular, the following five things may aggravate the condition and should be avoided by patients in their lives:
1. Non-compliance with medication
Many patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are Older people, whose memory is not as good as younger people, may have the problem of forgetting to take medicine.
Some elderly people even blindly try home remedies or increase the dosage of medicines at will in order to recover from the disease as soon as possible. As everyone knows, Whether the dosage is too much or too little, or changing the medicine without following the doctor’s advice, it may affect the control of the disease, even further aggravate the disease .
Therefore, the clinic has always emphasized that patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases need to have excellent medication compliance;
2. Long-term sedentary
Older people have reached retirement age and have relatively little daily activities. If the patient has a problem of sitting for a long time, it will only make the blood circulation worse and worse, and it is also prone to the problem of obesity.

Therefore, regardless of age group, patients should avoid sedentary time, engage in appropriate activities every day, and choose appropriate physical exercise programs according to their physical conditions;
< strong>3. Smoking and drinking
Cigarettes and alcohol are not only carcinogens, but also the high risk of inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. All of them can cause damage to the arterial blood vessel wall, accelerate the formation of atherosclerosis, and increase blood pressure.
Patients with coronary heart disease may even have a sudden onset of myocardial infarction after a heavy smoking or drinking. Therefore, after being diagnosed with coronary heart disease, patients should actively quit smoking and drinking according to the doctor’s advice;

4. Overwork
Whether it is a lot of physical or mental exercise, it will The hypothalamus and central system will be affected, and will promote the secretion of adrenaline, catecholamines and other hormones, leading to increased blood pressure and vasospasm. Once the unstable plaque falls off, it may form instantly Thrombosis, prompting the sudden onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Relevant studies have shown that overwork is one of the most fundamental factors causing sudden cardiac death. Therefore, it is necessary to learn to combine work with rest and to maintain adequate sleep;
5. No diet adjustment
Long-term maintenance of high-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar, high-salt dietary intake is promoting hypertension and metabolic disorder syndrome strong>high-risk factors. And after the diagnosis of coronary heart disease , if you do not actively improve your diet, there is no benefit in controlling the disease.
Therefore, Patients need to adjust their diet, reasonably control the total calorie intake of three meals, and try to maintain a light diet, and it is best to maintain a state of 6-7 points of fullness per meal.
