What are the causes and symptoms of geriatric rheumatic heart disease?

The physical resistance of the elderly is reduced, and the physical function of the elderly will also decline, because the elderly are very prone to heart disease after some bad habits accumulate for a long time. The joints of the elderly will be particularly painful, and the body will also be particularly uncomfortable on rainy days, wheezing or always feeling out of breath, and some heart pain, which are all symptoms of rheumatic heart disease.

The reason may be because of a cold and a damp home. The symptoms are that the legs and joints are particularly painful, and they are very red and swollen, and it is inconvenient to move, and the pain will be aggravated in rainy days.

It is likely that it is because of mood fluctuations, or because of heart valve problems, because of old age, because of poor sleep quality, or because of body lesions.

Rheumatic heart disease in the elderly is mainly due to the disease in young people, which continues into old age, and very rarely occurs in old age, and patients can live to old age, which may be due to the fact that the original damage to the heart is mild and mild. Rheumatic fever relapse is infrequent, or it is caused by a very late age of onset. Rheumatic fever is an autoimmune connective tissue disease associated with group A group B hemolytic streptococcal infection, mainly affecting the heart and joints, followed by ** and serosa and blood vessels.

The main symptom of rheumatic heart disease in old age is dyspnea, which is the most common and earliest symptom. It is most likely to be triggered during exercise agitation, gestational infection, or rapid atrial fibrillation. The second is cough, which is common in sleep or labor at night, and is a dry cough without sputum or foamy sputum, and can be mucinous or purulent sputum when complicated by infection.

Hemoptysis, there are the following conditions: 1. Massive hemoptysis; 2. Blood or bloody sputum in sputum; 3. Jelly-like dark red sputum during pulmonary infarction; 4. Thromboembolism is a serious complication of mitral stenosis. Other symptoms include marked enlargement of the left atrium, dilation of the left pulmonary artery compressing the recurrent laryngeal nerve causing hoarseness, and compression of the esophagus causing dysphagia.

Rheumatic heart disease, also known as rheumatic heart disease, refers to the disease of the heart valves caused by rheumatic fever activity, which affects the heart valves. Patients with rheumatic heart disease should be maintained in the following ways:

1. Eat a reasonable diet, eat less salt and oil and undigested food, and pay attention to a light diet.

2. Avoid strenuous exercise, physical fatigue and staying up late at night, and maintain a good mental state.

3. Exercise reasonably to maintain good body immunity and avoid respiratory tract infection.

Fourth, it is necessary to regularly go to the hospital for re-examination of electrocardiogram and cardiac color ultrasound to understand the progress of the disease.

5. Young patients should be given long-acting penicillin for a long time to prevent rheumatic fever.

6. If surgery is indicated for rheumatic heart disease, surgery should be given in time** to actively control the associated arrhythmia and heart failure when heart failure occurs.

Rheumatic heart disease is more common in old age than in young adulthood, and it continues into old age due to recurrence of rheumatic attacks in the early stages of heart damage. Elderly rheumatic heart disease often coexists with hypertension and coronary heart disease. The heart murmur in elderly patients with rheumatic heart disease is related to the weakening of myocardial contractility and emphysema in the elderly.

The rheumatic activity of rheumatic disease in the elderly is milder and atypical than in adolescence, but arthritis, myocarditis and other manifestations may still appear.

The causes of rheumatic heart disease in the elderly are decreased resistance, too much mental stress, long-term inhalation of second-hand smoke, streptococcus, irregular life, symptoms are generally fatigue, cough, gastrointestinal congestion, bloating, loss of appetite, edema of the lower limbs.

Most people suffer from shortness of breath, palpitations, shortness of breath and even difficulty when doing a lot of outdoor activities, which also affects the quality of sleep. It is easy to cough, produce sputum, and even cough up blood, and the lips and cheekbones have a dark purple color.

Usually pay more attention to rest, have conflicts and quarrels with each other, don't stay up late at night, don't drink or smoke at ordinary times, and take a walk when you have nothing to do.

It is usually due to an infection or rheumatic condition that causes heart disease. This situation needs to be done in time, otherwise it will cause a very serious danger.

I think there are symptoms of weakness in the limbs, dizziness, chest pain, heart pain, and loss of appetite.

Generally speaking, heart disease is caused by rheumatism, so it must be done immediately** and do not take this condition lightly.

Rheumatic heart disease symptoms

What are the symptoms of rheumatic heart disease? Have you ever heard about rheumatic heart disease, which is a common heart disease? So, what are the symptoms of rheumatic heart disease? Let's take you to learn about this aspect of heart disease!

Rheumatic heart disease symptoms

1. Fatigue is susceptible

The flow of cardiovascular blood pressure in people with rheumatic heart disease is hindered, and the stretching and contraction of the heart becomes laborious, which increases the capillary blood pressure of people with severe disease, so patients are prone to fatigue in daily life and work.

2. Heart palpitations

Patients with rheumatic heart disease may experience a sharp heartbeat, mental panic, etc. In layman's terms, it is panic.

3. Angina pectoris

People with rheumatic heart disease experience an abnormal state of angina. Angina usually occurs when the patient feels tired due to excessive exertion.

4. Difficulty breathing

People with rheumatic heart disease feel like they don't have enough oxygen or have trouble breathing. It is because the patient's heart valve signals the lungs and congestion, resulting in ventilation and ventilation dysfunction, resulting in insufficient oxygen intake and carbon dioxide retention in the body.

5. Chest tightness and cough

People with rheumatic heart disease have symptoms of chest tightness, and some patients may cough due to the interventive valves, and sweat a lot when they fall asleep at night. In the early stages, the symptoms may not be obvious, but even so, do not neglect to check your body.

6. Syncope

Rheumatic model delays heart disease.

Patient. Sometimes there is a sudden feeling of dizziness, confusion, or a short loss of consciousness due to rheumatic heart disease.

Patient. The blood pressure drops, and the brain is temporarily caused by insufficient blood volume.

1. Difficulty breathing. After suffering from rheumatic heart disease, if the valve is stenotized to a certain extent, there will be dyspnea, which is mainly manifested as exertional dyspnea, that is to say, after exercise or activity, the patient's breathing will be particularly unsmooth, feel uncomfortable and weak, and with the aggravation of heart failure, there will be paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea.

2. Angina pectoris. Many patients with rheumatic heart disease will also suffer from angina, and this pain will increase with age and the severity of the meal, once the angina pectoris, it means that the arterial valve stenosis has been very serious, angina often appears after exertion, but there are also some patients will occur at rest.

3. Syncope. Syncope refers to a sudden loss of will or a temporary loss of will, which is also rheumatic heart disease, the more common and more serious clinical manifestations are due to the widespread consciousness of the brain, insufficient blood supply, many patients with rheumatic heart disease heart discharge will be reduced, which will cause a sudden drop in blood, and then lead to syncope, the time of syncope can be short, can be as long as a minute and more than half an hour.

4. Excessive sweating and palpitations. Rheumatic heart disease can also cause excessive sweating and palpitations, which are usually sweaty more than the average person, and are often felt after palpitations, usually after palpitations, due to autonomic dysfunction and increased sympathetic tone.

5. The labor force is declining. Once suffering from rheumatic heart disease, patients often feel general weakness and fatigue, cough and phlegm after light activity or exertion, and the labor force is greatly reduced, and colds and colds are greatly reduced.

The heart is the most important organ of the human body, one of the diseases related to the heart can not be easily ignored, rheumatic heart disease is very common, one of the heart disease is also very harmful, if the condition is not detected in time and **, it is likely to be life-threatening.

There will be some irregular heartbeat, and sometimes the chest will feel very painful, and there will be frequent fatigue in life. High blood pressure can also occur, and there will also be a feeling of difficulty breathing.

The main manifestations are, heart discomfort, fatigue, lack of strength to work, easy to faint, especially want to sleep, panic and shortness of breath.

Generally, chest tightness and shortness of breath will occur after activity. After it is severe, I will feel chest tightness after a little movement, as well as palpitations and edema of both lower limbs.
