In the elderly, coronary heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, and cor pulmonale (cor pulmonale) are more common. For the elderly suffering from heart disease, family members should do a good job in the following aspects of life care.

It is necessary to understand what kind of heart disease the elderly are suffering from, and should try to grasp some relevant knowledge, such as **, manifestations, what will be the development, what emergency changes will occur, etc.

Give the patient a pulse and breath every day, and blood pressure can be measured in families with conditions. If the condition is mild and stable, it can be checked once a day; If the condition is severe or changeable, it can be checked several times. When counting the pulse, pay attention to its speed, rhythm, and strength.

If you have an irregular heartbeat, be sure to count enough for one minute, rather than counting 15 seconds by four. According to the changes in breathing, pulse, and blood pressure, take care of the elderly's life, adjust their activities, rest, sleep, medications, etc., or determine whether they should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Arrange the daily life of elderly heart patients. Heart patients are intolerant of fatigue, annoyance, nervousness, panic, etc. Attention should be paid to keeping the environment quiet, so that the elderly are happy and in a quiet mood; Life should be regular, and the elderly should be guaranteed adequate sleep and bed rest.

If there is no acute myocardial infarction, frequent attacks of angina, heart failure and severe heart rhythm disorders, heart disease patients can also do appropriate activities, such as walking, tai chi, etc., but should not engage in intense exercise, so as not to cause shortness of breath, angina pectoris, pulse rate increase no more than 20 times per minute. Elderly people with mild chronic heart failure can get out of bed indoors and walk around and urinate in the toilet by themselves, but they should not do housework or be active for too long. Those with severe conditions should stay in bed according to the doctor's instructions and live a regular life.

Patients with heart failure often need to raise the pillow or take a semi-recumbent position when lying in bed, and a ramp-type backrest frame can be made to cushion the bottom of the mattress to make the patient more comfortable.

The diet of elderly patients with heart disease should be low in calories, low in fat, low in cholesterol, adequate in protein, rich in vitamins, low in salt, and easy to digest. People with heart failure should be controlled at 2 4 grams (4 8 points) or 10 20 ml (2 4 teaspoons) of soy sauce per day, patients with severe heart failure should eat a salt-free diet, salt-free soy sauce (containing potassium chloride) can be used instead of salt, and patients with heart failure should also limit their water intake, together with liquid food (porridge, milk, soup) should not exceed 1500 ml (1 kg and a half) per day, and the daily water intake (including tea, vegetable soup, porridge, milk, etc.) and urine volume of the elderly should be recorded. Indicates that edema is developing and should be seen by a doctor. If possible, the body weight should be measured 1 or 2 times a week, and each measurement should be carried out in the early morning on an empty stomach and after bowel and bowel movements, and the clothing should be the same, so that the front and back can be compared.

If the weight gain is too fast, it also indicates water retention in the body and should be taken seriously.

Patients with heart disease should take medication strictly according to the doctor's prescription. Family members should promptly remind the elderly to take medicine on time and in accordance with the amount. Digitalis drugs have toxic effects and should be strictly controlled.

In order to make coronary heart disease patients get timely when they suddenly develop their disease, a "coronary heart disease card" can be prepared for patients to carry.
