    The vast majority of cor pulmonale diseases are the consequences of chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma complicated by emphysema, so active prevention and treatment of these diseases is a fundamental measure to avoid the occurrence of cor pulmonale. In addition to taking active measures in the event of infection, such as giving sufficient and effective anti-infection**, expectorant, antispasmodic and asthmatic, rational use of oxygen (oxygen containing 5% carbon dioxide), and keeping the respiratory tract open, strengthening nursing is what the patient's family should pay attention to.

    Cor pulmonale is a relatively serious disease, and if the patient is diagnosed with cor pulmonale, it is necessary to undergo active ** to avoid further aggravation of the condition and respiratory failure, coma and life-threatening.

    Patients with pulmonary heart disease should first quit smoking, avoid cold, moderate exercise to maintain lung function, if the patient usually has phlegm and cannot cough up, expectorant drugs can be used, such as ambroxol, eucalyptus, acetylcysteine and so on.

    If the patient's lung function declines significantly and the asthma symptoms are severe, bronchodilators can be inhaled to relieve clinical symptoms.

    If the patient has aggravation of cough, sputum production, and asthma symptoms, or is accompanied by cough with yellow sputum, fever and other symptoms, it is necessary to improve relevant examinations, evaluate pathogens, and take different anti-infection measures for different pathogens.

    Cor pulmonale is a heart disease caused by chronic lesions of the thoracic, pulmonary and pulmonary artery vessels, which causes increased pulmonary circulatory resistance and pulmonary hypertension, which in turn causes the right ventricle to hypertrophy and dilation, and even the occurrence of right heart failure. The incidence of this disease in our country is high, especially in the cold regions of the north, as well as in people who smoke for a long time. There are many causes of chronic cor pulmonale, such as chronic bronchitis, chronic pulmonary fibrosis, and some other diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and spinal tuberculosis.

    First, it is manifested as symptoms of hypoxia such as cough, phlegm, and dyspnea.

    Second, it is a symptom of right heart insufficiency, such as edema of the lower limbs, ascites or pleural effusion.

    The main reason for the first cause of cor pulmonale is to actively choose sensitive intravenous antibiotics to control infection, that is, to use cardiotonic, diuretic, and vasodilator drugs to improve the function of the heart. Eating a low-salt diet, preventing colds, and avoiding strenuous exercise can improve heart function and reduce the onset of heart failure.

    Analysis: Hello: Cor pulmonale is known as cor pulmonale, and its most common cause is chronic bronchitis with obstructive emphysema (COPD), but it is not excluded that it may be caused by other lung diseases.

    Cor pulmonale is a chronic process, so there is no specific drug or other methods that can completely reduce or alleviate the condition through symptoms. It is recommended to follow the instructions of the attending physician**.

    Chronic cor pulmonale is a heart disease caused by chronic bronchial, pulmonary, thoracic, or pulmonary artery vascular disease caused by increased pulmonary circulatory resistance, pulmonary hypertension, and then hypertrophy and enlargement of the right heart, with or without right heart failure. Acute cor pulmonale is a heart disease caused by sudden embolism of the main trunk of the pulmonary artery or its main branches, obstruction of most of the pulmonary circulation, resulting in a rapid increase in pulmonary artery pressure, acute right ventricular dilation, and right ventricular failure. It is divided into the compensatory period and the decompensated period of its function.

    The most common cause of cor pulmonale is chronic bronchial disease, and aggressively these conditions are key to preventing cor pulmonale. Smoking smoke can increase the secretion of mucus in the respiratory tract, decrease the purification function of the respiratory tract, create conditions for infection, and affect the immune mechanism of the body, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of chronic bronchitis and the aggravation of pulmonary heart disease, so smoking cessation is one of the important measures to prevent the occurrence and aggravation of pulmonary heart disease.

    The powerful expectorant and detoxification factors in the traditional Chinese medicine clinical prescription compound licorice fine spicy decoction can effectively kill a variety of pathogenic bacteria and the toxins produced by restoring and strengthening the metabolic function of lung cells, and at the same time quickly excrete them from the body through the mouth, urine and pores, so that the agenic seeds that have accumulated in the body cannot survive and eliminate the root cause of disease.

    According to the causes of respiratory diseases such as cough and asthma, a variety of precious pharmaceutical ingredients of compound licorice fine spice decoction are rich in germ blocking factors, which establish a complete "bacterial filter membrane protective barrier" in the lungs, effectively block the invasion of the lungs and respiratory tract by a variety of external agents, ensure that negative ions enter the lungs, improve the blood volume of the lungs, and achieve the purpose of accelerating the recovery of lung diseases.

    Cor pulmonale is mainly due to heart disease caused by pulmonary hypertension caused by broncho-pulmonary tissue or pulmonary artery vascular disease. It can be caused by climatic factors, such as a sudden drop in winter temperatures. There is also a part of it due to high-intensity work, which impairs the heart and lung function, which leads to cor pulmonale.

    In some cases, such diseases are caused by poor health habits such as long-term smoking. Cor pulmonale seriously affects the non-discordant heart function of the person, and it should be timely**. Patients should quit smoking, and at the same time, they should strengthen the exercise of reviewing questions and enhance their physical fitness.

    At the same time, supplemented with drugs**, you can choose Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine. If the condition is severe, do not delay the condition and be hospitalized in time**. So these things change the disease.

    The basics** of cor pulmonale can be divided into the following three categories.

    1. Diseases that cause obstruction of the lungs and tracheas.

    The condition that causes obstruction of the pulmonary trachea is the most common form of cor pulmonale**. According to statistics, in China, more than 80% of cor pulmonale is developed from chronic bronchitis complicated by emphysema, followed by bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis and silicosis. The reason why these diseases can cause cor pulmonale is mainly due to the underlying lesions in the bronchioles, alveoli or lung parenchyma, which are preceded by obstruction of the trachea and damage to the lung parenchyma, secondary emphysema and fibrosis, and then involve the pulmonary blood vessels, which increases the resistance of the pulmonary circulation, pulmonary hypertension, and then leads to right ventricular hypertrophy.

    For example, patients with chronic bronchitis have long-term cough and sputum production, bronchial mucosal edema becomes thickened, mucus secretion increases, and sputum is retained in the bronchi, making it blocked, and breathing will be affected, air inhalation is more than exhalation, and the alveoli are expanded and ruptured, forming emphysema. When emphysema occurs, the right ventricle encounters great resistance to transporting blood to the lungs, and the burden on the right ventricle increases, resulting in a gradual enlargement of the right ventricle. The pulmonary artery is under constant high pressure, and the burden on the right ventricle becomes heavier and heavier, and when its compensatory limit is exceeded, right heart failure occurs, resulting in cor pulmonale.

    2. Diseases that affect thoracic movement.

    Diseases that affect thoracic movement, such as pleural fibrosis, ankylosing spondylitis, severe spinal and thoracic deformities, etc., are often due to repeated lung infections, pulmonary tissue fibrosis, bronchial distortion, poor ventilation and expectoration, coupled with limited thoracic respiratory movement, can cause atelectasis, vascular occlusion and compensatory emphysema, increase pulmonary circulation resistance, pulmonary hypertension, and eventually lead to right ventricular hypertrophy.

    3. Pulmonary vascular disease.

    Pulmonary vascular diseases, such as widespread polyarteritis nodosa and pulmonary arteritis caused by other causes, can cause thickening of the vascular lining, narrowing of the lumen, and decreased vasodilation, resulting in increased resistance to the pulmonary circulation, resulting in cor pulmonale. In addition, pulmonary schistosomiasis and metastatic tumor cell embolism can also cause extensive pulmonary small vessel embolism, and then develop into cor pulmonale. In patients with this type of cor pulmonale, the impairment of lung function is usually not severe.

    The ** of cor pulmonale is relatively complex, and the specific ** methods are as follows:

    1. Oxygen inhalation: continuous low-flow oxygen inhalation, ventilator** and non-invasive ventilator-assisted ventilation can be considered for those who have the conditions;

    2. Anti-infection**: Pulmonary heart disease is prone to infection, find out the pathogenic bacteria through bacterial culture, and give antibiotics in a targeted manner**;

    3. Expectorant**: make the sputum thin and easy to cough up, reduce obstruction, and promote smooth breathing of patients;

    4. Antiasma**: such as theophylline drugs, reduce asthma symptoms;

    5. Anti-heart failure**: use inotropic drugs to prevent heart failure** to reduce the occurrence of heart failure, and those with severe conditions need to be in the intensive care unit**.

    Cor pulmonale is the abbreviation of cor pulmonale, which is a disease that is caused by bronchial, pulmonary tissue, thoracic or pulmonary artery vascular lesions, resulting in increased pulmonary vascular resistance, producing pulmonary hypertension, and then changing the structure or function of the right ventricle. There are many causes of cor pulmonale, mainly including the following categories:

    1. Bronchopulmonary disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is the most common, accounting for about 85%, others have advanced asthma, bronchiectasis, severe tuberculosis, etc., thoracic movement disorders, severe kyphosis, rheumatoid arthritis, extensive thoracic adhesions, thoracoplasty and so on can cause cor pulmonale.

    2. Pulmonary vascular diseases, extensive or reversible multiple pulmonary arteriolar embolism and pulmonary arteritis, pulmonary artery allergic granuloma, primary pulmonary hypertension, etc., and others such as sleep apnea syndrome, primary alveolar hypoventilation, neuromuscular diseases, etc., can cause pulmonary heart disease.

    In addition to the diseases that actively cause cor pulmonale, the treatment of heart failure is very important, mainly the use of diuretics and vasodilators. The principle of diuretic application is to alternate the use of small amounts and short-term periods, mild edema can not be used, moderate edema can be taken orally, and strong diuretics should generally be avoided. In addition, vasodilators can also be applied, which can reduce cardiac pre- and postload, reduce cardiac oxygen consumption, and increase myocardial contractility.

    The ideal drug for pulmonary hypertension should have the following characteristics:

    1. Pulmonary vascular resistance is reduced by more than 20%.

    2. Pulmonary motility pressure decreases or remains unchanged.

    3. Cardiac output increases or does not change.

    4. The systemic circulatory pressure remains unchanged or decreases slightly, which is caused by insufficient pressure, which does not affect or can improve tissue oxygenation.

    In the case of cor pulmonale, cardiotonics are less effective than other heart diseases, so routine use is not recommended.

    Cor pulmonale is mainly caused by pulmonary vascular changes caused by pulmonary diseases, resulting in pulmonary hypertension, which in turn causes structural and functional changes in the heart. The main symptoms are pulmonary symptoms, as well as symptoms such as right heart failure. **The main thing is to be clear**, such as severe bronchitis, chronic lung tissue disease or cardiac insufficiency caused by thrombosis of large vessels, in this case, it is mainly through infection control, long-term oxygen inhalation, oxygen therapy, etc. to improve the condition of the lungs, so as to reduce the tissue duplication of the lungs, thereby improving pulmonary hypertension.

    If the patient has severe symptoms of right heart failure, appropriate diuretics should be used to improve the symptoms of heart failure. Patients may have arrhythmias due to the increased load on the right ventricle, and antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone can be used appropriately.

    Cor pulmonale refers to the lesions of bronchi, lung tissue, thoracic cage or pulmonary blood vessels that lead to an increase in the resistance of pulmonary blood vessels, causing pulmonary hypertension and resulting in an increase in right heart afterload, enlargement of the right ventricle or accompanied by the patient's right heart dysfunction, pulmonary heart disease is divided into acute pulmonary heart disease and chronic pulmonary heart disease, the main cause of acute pulmonary heart disease is pulmonary embolism, so the best method for acute pulmonary heart disease is to cure the patient's pulmonary embolism, then the patient's pulmonary artery pressure will be lowered, The main cause of chronic pulmonary heart disease is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the main cause of acute exacerbation in this type of patient is infection, so the best way for such patients is to control infection.

    Control of respiratory failure in patients.

    Control of heart failure, including the use of diuretic drugs and inotropic drugs, as well as vasodilators, etc., and for patients with chronic cor pulmonale, it is necessary to actively prevent complications such as pulmonary encephalopathy and electrolyte imbalance.
