Changjiang Daily, Wuhan Client, May 18th (Reporter Wang Kaining, Correspondent Tian Juan) “I will remember the lesson of this time, and I will pay attention to my health in the future!” In the Cardiology ward of Tongji Hospital’s Guanggu District, 35-year-old Mr. Xiang expressed his determination to the attending doctor.
Xiao Zhichao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiology of Tongji Hospital, said that sudden myocardial infarction has become a major killer that threatens human life in contemporary society. According to the “China Cardiovascular Disease Report 2021”, there are currently 330 million patients with cardiovascular disease in my country, and 1 million new cases of myocardial infarction every year. Especially in recent years, more and more people under the age of 45 or even 20, Young people in their 30s are also on the team for myocardial infarction. Mr. Xiang is a typical example. If you don’t take care of yourself, your health will only get further and further away from you.
Mr. Xiang is a self-employed owner of barbecue at night market. At the age of 35, he is 1.7 meters tall and weighs 190 pounds. Due to the nature of his work, his working hours are from evening to early morning. It is common for him to fall asleep during the day and forget to eat. Coupled with the stimulation of various scents, his weight began to climb, and it was out of control. This time, Mr. Xiang, who thought it was another “stomach pain”, didn’t care at first until May 15, when he was urgently transferred by ambulance to the Guanggu District of Tongji Hospital.
During surgery.
“The myocardium is severely damaged, so we can’t delay any longer! The family members sign, and the operation will be performed immediately!” At 6:40 pm on the same day, the team of Dr. Xiao Zhichao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiology of Tongji Hospital, carried out the operation for Mr. Xiang. After undergoing cardiac interventional treatment, the operation went well. Mr. Xiang could get out of bed that night, and he could be discharged home in two days.
Xiao Zhichao said that although Mr. Xiang is young, his heart is the heart of 60 years old. Youth is not a healthy capital, and the prevention of myocardial infarction needs to start now. “Heart stents are only a temporary life-saving solution, not a cure for the symptoms. If you don’t change your bad living habits, new problems will arise in the heart.” He reminded that the typical symptoms of acute myocardial infarction are chest tightness and chest pain, but there are many atypical symptoms, such as Stomach pain, back pain, neck pain, tooth pain, etc. If a similar situation occurs, seek medical attention in time, so as not to delay the disease and miss the best time for treatment.
