The old man ate this fruit after a meal, causing angina pectoris! These 3 kinds of fruits should not be touched by the elderly

Zhang Bo was diagnosed with coronary heart disease and kidney disease a few years ago, and had undergone coronary stent surgery. Because he was old and had a serious illness, Uncle Zhang went to exercise every morning and evening. Although the weather was hot recently, he also went to exercise early before Grandpa Sun had gone to work.

After dinner today, Uncle Zhang felt really hot. He ate 3 pieces of iced watermelon, which resulted in angina pectoris and acute left heart failure immediately. Uncle Zhang felt chest tightness Shortness of breath, wheezing and suffocation also occurred, so that I could not lie on my back. As soon as the family noticed it, they immediately called 120 for first aid.

I was in good condition when I entered the hospital, but my face suddenly appeared in a short time Cyanosis and breath-holding, ECG monitoring indicated ventricular fibrillation, and immediate defibrillation was performed due to the patient’s cardiac arrest. After cardiac compressions and 2 defibrillations, the patient’s symptoms improved.

A cardiovascular disease attack, is watermelon to blame?

Uncle Zhang was originally suffering from coronary heart disease. After eating iced watermelon, he was stimulated by cold, which aggravated coronary stenosis and developed angina pectoris. Due to chronic myocardial ischemia, cardiac function is weakened, leading to left heart failure, which is mainly manifested as general fatigue, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing at night, thereby inducing cardiovascular disease.

After being stimulated by cold, it can also induce systemic arterial contraction, increase the peripheral resistance of cardiac ejection, and increase the load on the heart. In addition, the main ingredient of watermelon is water. Zhang Bo eats 3 pieces of ice watermelon in a short time, which is equivalent to ingesting 400-800 ml of water, thereby increasing blood volume and increasing the burden on the heart.

Which fruits should the elderly not eat more?

1. Lychee

Summer is a good time to eat lychee, but the elderly should control the amount, Especially those with high blood sugar or diabetes.

What cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases can be caused by hot weather?

1. Induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blockage

In hot summer, the subcutaneous blood vessels are in a dilated state, increasing the flow to the skin The blood volume of the heart and the brain is relatively ischemia and hypoxia, which increases the burden on the heart; in a high temperature environment, the sympathetic nerves are abnormally excited, and the heart rate increases, which promotes coronary artery contraction, increases the workload of the heart, and easily induces cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. .

2. Thrombotic disease

In hot summer, you sweat a lot and don’t replenish water in time It will cause blood viscosity, promote thrombosis, easily cause myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and induce thrombotic diseases.

How to care for blood vessels in summer?

Message from the doctor

Although the weather is hot, it is not Eat frozen food in a hurry to avoid cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor should be controlled within 8°C, so as not to cause too much temperature difference to cause blood vessels to expand and increase the burden on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. In summer, the morning exercise should not be too early, and the exercise time can be arranged in the evening.
