About heart disease symptoms, symptoms of heart disease

All heart diseases are called heart disease, and there are many kinds of them, and the symptoms are different.

Heart disease is a relatively general term, which includes coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease and other conditions. What we are now referring to as a younger heart disease is actually coronary heart disease. Pathological studies have shown that the phenomenon of coronary atherosclerosis can be seen in children as early as 3 years old, which is manifested by the deposition of lipid streaks in the middle layer of the coronary arteries, which is a natural physiological and aging phenomenon of human beings.

As we age, plaque deposits in the middle of the coronary arteries, and it is a process that accelerates with our unhealthy lifestyle habits. This condition occurs unconsciously, and the narrowing of the coronary arteries is not felt by the patient until a certain extent. For example, if the stenosis of the coronary arteries is less than 50, the patient does not feel anything.

The transition from a normal state to a state of more than 50 is a long time, and before that the patient may not have any symptoms, or only some slight discomfort, which does not attract the attention of the patient. Some early patients will have symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and pain in the intercardiac area after exercise, but these symptoms generally pass in one or two minutes, and it is not until myocardial infarction occurs that the patient pays attention to it.

As the saying goes, early prevention of disease, early treatment of disease. Therefore, the key to the prevention and treatment of heart disease is "early". At present, the principle of prevention and treatment of heart disease proposed by the state is to "move the threshold forward".

How can we achieve "moving the threshold forward", finding early symptoms is one aspect; The other is to do a good job of prevention. The most important thing is to change lifestyle habits, change dietary structure, quit smoking, strengthen exercise, control obesity, control hypertension, diabetes and other diseases, so as to avoid or reduce the occurrence of heart disease.

It's complicated, and among the many explanations, don't ignore it. Heart disease. Heart attack, but it doesn't hurt.

The heart is like the generator of our human body, all the functions of the body, whether it can function normally, are maintained by the heart, and the heart is the most vulnerable organ, such as coronary heart disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc., will take people's lives.

A bad heart can cause many uncomfortable symptoms and have a bad impact on the quality of life in daily life.

Shortness of breath occurs when the breath is slightly active, or when it is in a quiet state, but it is not accompanied by cough or sputum. This condition is likely to manifest as left ventricular dysfunction.

If the face is pale and purple, and the expression is indifferent, this is a critically ill face in the advanced stage of heart disease. If the face is dark red, it is characteristic of rheumatic heart disease and mitral stenosis. If it is pale, it may be a sign of mitral regurgitation.

If the nose is stiff, it is a sign that there is too much heart fat accumulation. If the tip of the nose is swollen, heart fat may also be enlarged or heart disease is enlarging. In addition, a red nose is often an indication of heart disease.

Patients with chronic heart failure and advanced cor pulmonale may be dark brown or dark purple, which is related to long-term hypoxia of body tissues and decreased adrenal cortical function. **Blue-purple mucous membranes and extremities, indicating a lack of oxygen to the heart and an increase in reduced blood proteins.

People with ear heart disease have varying degrees of tinnitus in the early stage, because the microvascular dynamics of the inner ear are abnormal, and the inner ear gets a premonitory signal before the disease causes a systemic reaction. If you have a continuous fold in your earlobe, it's most likely due to coronary arteriosclerosis.

If the head and neck extend from the clavicle to the earlobe, a tendon as thick as a little finger, it is likely to be right heart insufficiency.

The weather in the shoulder is obviously good, but there are bouts of soreness in the left shoulder and the inside of the left arm, which may be coronary heart disease.

The ends of the fingers or toes of the hands and feet are markedly thick, and the nail surface is raised like a drumstick, which is common in patients with chronic cor pulmonale or congenital cyanotic heart disease.

Edema of the lower limbs in middle-aged and elderly people is often manifested by cardiac insufficiency leading to obstruction of venous blood return. In addition, if there are frequent palpitations and wheezing, only squatting can be relieved, which is a unique manifestation of purple-clamp heart disease.

Pay attention to chest tightness and palpitation.

Many elderly people lack awareness of some of their own symptoms, and some young people do not pay much attention to symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitation, and often think that it doesn't matter, and they just endure it. It is these ideas that delay the optimal time.

Knowing the heart] the "engine" of the human body

The heart is a strong, tireless, hard-working powerful pump. The heart is to the body what the engine is to the car.

If a person's heart beats 70 times a minute on average and the life expectancy is 70 years old, the heart will beat nearly 2.6 billion times in a person's lifetime. Once the heart stops beating and cannot be re-beaten by resuscitation, it means that a person's life is over.

Types of common heart disease:

a.Congenital heart disease.

1.It may be related to the mother's illness or medication taken in the early stages of pregnancy.

2.Linked to genetics.

b.Acquired heart disease.

1.Coronary heart disease.

Smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc., lead to hardening and narrowing of the arteries, which obstructs blood flow and makes it easy to cause damage to the myocardium due to lack of oxygen.

2.Hypertensive heart disease.

a.Arterial hypertension causes left ventricular hypertrophy.

b.Pulmonary hypertension causes right ventricular hypertrophy.

3.Rheumatic heart disease.

Chronic rheumatic heart disease is mainly caused by the gradual deterioration of heart valves after rheumatic fever infection.

4.Punky. Heart** Chronic bronchitis, emphysema, etc. lead to pulmonary hypertension, which makes the right ventricle hypertrophy or failure.

5.Cardiomyopathy.

2. Metabolism.

or abnormal hormonal changes in the heart muscle, sometimes alcoholism, drugs can also cause changes in the heart muscle.

6.Heart tumors.

Most of them are benign tumors, with myxoma being the most common, and primary cardiac malignancy is rare. 7.

Vascular lesions. Including aneurysms caused by hypertension, and vascular lesions caused by other immune dysfunction.
