Cold air "exerts" and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases "attack"
2023-10-09
Autumn is strong! October 7th is the first working day after the Mid Autumn Festival National Day holiday. It is rainy and accompanied by cold air, causing many citizens on the road to shrink their necks, change into long sleeves, and put on coats. Today is the day of Cold Dew, the first solar term of the year with the word "cold", and also the turning point from cool to cold. At this point, it is particularly important to be vigilant against the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The reporter learned from some hospitals in Shencheng yesterday that there have been multiple cases of myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction in recent days, and the number of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients is showing a slight upward trend, with some cases being more critical. Regarding this, doctors remind that during the transition period between summer and autumn, temperature fluctuations are significant, which can easily cause blood pressure fluctuations and trigger cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Among them, not only the elderly, but also middle-aged and young people should maintain good living habits, add or remove clothing in a timely manner according to climate change, and keep some "life-saving drugs" such as nitroglycerin and heart protecting pills nearby. There were six cases of myocardial infarction in three days, and the cold air also "blew down" young and middle-aged people. "When the season changes, the weather turns cold or the temperature drops suddenly, the incidence rate of myocardial infarction will rise significantly." Che Wenliang, chief physician of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, told reporters that six cases of myocardial infarction had been treated in succession in the last three days of the long holiday. Originally thought that climate change would require only the elderly to pay attention to protection, but Che Wenliang told reporters, "From the medical situation, the number of myocardial infarction patients under 50 years old has increased, and cold air will also 'blow down' young and middle-aged people." Just a few days ago, a 40 year old male patient went to Shanghai Ten Hospitals for treatment due to chest pain. Upon examination, it was found that two of the three main blood vessels in the patient's heart had varying degrees of occlusion and stenosis. A blood vessel in a more severe condition is almost completely occluded, leaving only a gap of one thread, "said Che Wenliang. Fortunately, the patient sought medical attention in a timely manner and is currently in stable physical condition. Why do middle-aged and young people who are strong and have no underlying diseases experience sudden myocardial infarction? It turned out that the man had a history of smoking for many years, not only being a heavy smoker, but also frequently staying up late. Before the onset of the disease, he had been staying up late and smoking for several consecutive days. In addition, as the temperature changed, a heart attack occurred. Smoking is a major culprit in leading to cardiovascular diseases, and autumn and winter are also periods of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Long term and heavy smoking combined with staying up late have accelerated the spread of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction. According to a review of recent admitted cases, Che Wenliang's analysis shows that after the holiday, cardiovascular diseases have reached a small peak, with some being affected by cold air, which can easily lead to angina and even acute myocardial infarction, while others belong to "post holiday syndrome", If there is a lack of regularity in holiday life, coupled with binge eating, lack of exercise, etc., it is easy to lead to an increase in the number of post holiday cardiovascular disease visits. Once there is a premonitory phenomenon, go to the hospital for medical treatment in a timely manner. Research shows that for every 1 ℃ decrease in temperature, the number of deaths from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will increase by 0.49%; For every 1 ℃ decrease in temperature, systolic blood pressure increases by 1.3 millimeters of mercury and diastolic blood pressure increases by 0.6 millimeters of mercury. This is why hypertensive patients are more likely to experience accidents such as myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction due to sudden increases in blood pressure caused by cold stimulation. At the People's Hospital of Pudong New Area, the number of cardiovascular patients also experienced a small peak. Not long ago, the neurology department of the hospital admitted a young patient with cerebral infarction, a 32 year old child
