As soon as the dog days arrive, the hospital, whether it is for registration, billing, or the window for taking medicine, is pasted with eye-catching signs—–Myocardial infarction patients are given priority!
Obviously, it is the season of high incidence of myocardial infarction.
Myocardial infarction refers to acute myocardial infarction, which is a kind of myocardial ischemia and necrosis caused by the blockage of coronary artery, resulting in a serious lack of blood supply to the heart. Acute cardiovascular disease with very high rates and mortality.
Once the disease is not treated in time, the patient will die in a short time.
Why are dog days a high incidence of myocardial infarction?
Since Sanfu is the hottest period of the year, most of the country is in a state of scorching heat.
The outside temperature is high in summer. In order to dissipate heat, the human body will increase the secretion of sweat, and the blood vessels on the surface of the body will expand, which will cause the blood distribution on the surface of the human body to be greatly increased than usual, which will lead to the heart and brain. Blood supply is relatively insufficient.
At the same time, because the body sweats a lot, the body tends to be dehydrated, blood viscosity increases, it is easy to form thrombus, and it is easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Disease.
In addition, because the weather is too hot, some people tend to like to consume too much cold drinks or frozen foods in a short period of time.
Sudden strong stimulation, the human cardiovascular system will suddenly contract in a short period of time, resulting in a sharp increase in the oxygen consumption of the heart, brain and other organs, causing blood pressure fluctuations, and then induce Angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc.
Once a myocardial infarction occurs, how can I help myself?
Once a heart attack occurs, it is obviously extremely important to seek medical attention promptly.
If you suspect a myocardial infarction, you need to call emergency services immediately, and take aspirin or other antiplatelet drugs if prescribed by your doctor.
At the same time, you need to do these 2 points:
First, call the emergency number at the first time
Once it appears When you experience symptoms such as sluggish breathing, chest tightness, chest pain, and repeated headaches, be sure to call the emergency number as soon as possible.
In addition, we must pay attention to the selection of hospitals. We should choose a hospital with a second or higher level and can open the emergency myocardial infarction channel.
Otherwise, once the hospital has no treatment conditions, the treatment time will be delayed.
At the same time, when a myocardial infarction occurs, stay in bed or lie flat, and wait quietly for the arrival of emergency personnel. Since the body supplies the most blood to the heart when lying down, if the coronary artery itself is ischemia, whether standing or sitting will aggravate the ischemia of the heart.
Don’t do anything else when you’re absolutely bedridden, don’t sit up to drink water, don’t try to walk on your own, and don’t drive to the hospital.
Second, keep breathing smoothly
patient You must keep quiet quickly, you can’t walk around or yell, and you can’t drive to the hospital by yourself. Keeping yourself quiet can reduce discomfort.
You should also loosen the neckline, waistbands and underwear to keep your breathing smooth, and keep fresh air flowing in the room
In addition, also In the period before the acute myocardial infarction, many patients will experience inexplicable constant hiccups, choking after drinking water, and so on.
When these symptoms appear, be sure to go to a regular hospital for treatment quickly. Once an acute myocardial infarction occurs, patients can take the above three methods for self-rescue, which can minimize the mortality rate.
Myocardial infarction, don’t take medicine blindly
Some patients with coronary heart disease often prepare some nitroglycerin, just to save their lives in the event of a myocardial infarction.
But in fact, most people don’t know that they need to measure whether there is low blood pressure before taking nitroglycerin. If blood pressure is too low or cannot measure blood pressure, do not take nitroglycerin blindly to avoid Causes side effects.
Some people also take aspirin during a heart attack as a way to prevent a heart attack, but having aortic dissection can have serious consequences.
Therefore, it is recommended that all patients with myocardial infarction still need to choose the appropriate drug for themselves under the guidance of a doctor.
As for the so-called “first aid methods” for myocardial infarction, such as coughing, slapping the arm, etc., they do not have any effect, on the contrary, it will easily lead to aggravation of the disease.
