19-year-old boy dies after drinking ice water after strenuous exercise
According to Fujian Health News, after finishing the college entrance examination, Xiaohui, a 19-year-old boy from Fuzhou, insisted on playing basketball every day and drinking a bottle of iced drink after sweating. Recently, Xiaohui still picked up a bottle of ice drink after playing basketball and drank it upside down. Less than five minutes after drinking, Xiaohui began to feel chest tightness, followed by bursts of chest pain. Seeing this, the fellow golfers quickly called the emergency number and sent him to the hospital for rescue. Xiaohui was diagnosed with sudden acute myocardial infarction, and died after resuscitation failed. Unfortunately, a fresh life was lost.

Why a Sudden acute myocardial infarction after drinking a bottle of iced drink?
for three reasons:Temperature difference, vasospasmThe outdoor temperature is higher in summer, Drinking a lot of cold drinks, beer, taking cold baths, swimming or when the human body enters a low temperature environment such as air conditioners and fans, the drastic temperature changes will cause the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the human body to increase significantly, which can easily induce coronary artery spasm, vasoconstriction, and acute acute myocardial infarction. Sympathetic excitement, increased heart rateUnder cold stimulation, it is more likely to cause sympathetic nerve excitement in the human body, and it is easy to increase the heart rate , Myocardial oxygen consumption increases, blood hypercoagulation, platelet activation, prone to acute myocardial infarction. hemoconcentration, increased viscositysummer The human body sweats a lot. After strenuous exercise, blood concentration and blood viscosity increase after a lot of sweating, which is more likely to induce myocardial infarction.

< strong>Why do young people who usually look very healthy die suddenly?
It is not uncommon for young people to die suddenly: a female college student in Shanxi died suddenly while running, a 28-year-old ByteDance employee died suddenly, and a 23-year-old Pinduoduo A female employee died suddenly on the way off work in the early morning…Professor Liu Xingpeng, deputy director of the Heart Center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, director of the arrhythmia department, and founder of Hartrium Heart Medical Group, pointed out in a popular science lecture: The vast majority of sudden death actually occurs when the blood vessel narrows less than 50%! Generally speaking, symptoms such as “angina pectoris” will not occur until more than 75% of the blood vessels are blocked. Many young people have less than 50% vascular blockage and no symptoms at all. If the blood vessels are not blocked, why does sudden death still occur? There is a scientific name in medicine, called “vasospasm”, which can be understood as “cramping” of blood vessels. Many people have experienced sudden calf cramps when swimming or playing football.You may wish to think about what would happen if the blood vessels suddenly “cramp”? For young people, there may already be some problems with blood vessels. Although the problem is not serious and there are no symptoms, when the triggering factors are stimulated, the blood vessels will spasm. The lumen, which was originally open, was twisted so that no trace of blood could pass through. Without the blood supply to the heart, it is like the engine of a car without oil, the momentary “lying nest” stops, and sudden death occurs. If the blood vessels are completely normal, will they spasm? Spasms are hard to come by in this case. But are your blood vessels really completely normal? According to Director Liu Xingpeng’s description, the youngest patient with myocardial infarction he has ever seen is only 18 years old. This is why we have repeatedly emphasized the importance of cardiovascular care even when there are no symptoms.

< strong>Inducing factors of sudden death
You may be wondering: Why do blood vessels spasm? Many reasons, the more common ones aresmoking a lot, staying up late, drinking a lot of high-intensity drinks, being emotional, and strenuous exercise as mentioned in the news Suddenly drinking ice water suddenly , etc., can easily lead to spasm of the heart blood vessels. These are also an important cause of sudden death in young people. It is worth emphasizing that the influence of these inducing factors is not an “additive” relationship, but a “multiplication” relationship. What does this mean? If smoking increases the risk of sudden death, staying up late also increases the risk of sudden death, but if someone smokes and stays up late, the risk of sudden death is not a simple 1+1, but a exponential growth. This reminds us that controlling every predisposing factor and risk factor is very important to avoid sudden death.
