Winter care 4 factors lead to cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease is a blood circulation disease, and now people because of lifestyle changes, cardiovascular disease has become a people around the high incidence of disease. Such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and other common diseases. Winter because of the cold climate, sooner or later the temperature difference, more likely to lead to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. So we are more likely to pay attention to cardiovascular protection during the winter.

Winter cardiovascular disease and chronic diseases must pay special attention to physical health. According to reports, when the temperature drops, the blood vessels will follow the contraction, then blood pressure is easy to rise, resulting in hypertensive patients prone to cerebral hemorrhage may be. In addition, patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, their own vascular elasticity will be relatively poor, the face of temperature changes, vasoconstriction, expansion of the regulatory ability is not good, may be due to vasoconstriction caused by coronary artery occlusion, causing myocardial infarction and Stroke and other diseases.

Why the winter cardiovascular disease is more high incidence

Winter weather becomes cold, day and night temperature increases, followed by the emergence of cold air will stimulate the body of capillary contraction, increased peripheral vascular resistance, leading to increased blood pressure, increased cardiac load, easy to induce coronary heart disease. Cold can also cause coronary artery spasm, a direct impact on heart blood supply, induced angina or myocardial infarction. In addition, the northern climate is also easy to cause the body to increase blood viscosity, vascular movement abnormal changes, increased myocardial burden, there will be angina, etc., to promote a variety of heart attacks.

In addition, the weather cooler, people appetite increased, so they love the "paste winter fat" habits, such as the diet without control is also easy to cause excessive weight, endangering heart health. Especially those who often insomnia, more likely because of fatigue on the cardiovascular system damage, increase the risk of heart disease.

The incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is grim

Nearly three or four years, due to the improvement of living standards, improve the health conditions, the incidence of various infectious diseases greatly reduced, but chronic diseases have become the most important harm to human health diseases, has become the most important cause of death. There are about 35 million people died of chronic diseases in the world, accounting for 60% of the total number of deaths, of which 17 million people died of cardiovascular disease, so the harm of cardiovascular disease we can see.

Our country according to the previous two years of statistics, the first cause of death is cancer, the second cause of death is cerebrovascular disease, is the stroke, the third is heart disease. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease add up to the first cause of death, so now cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease prevention and control is very important. Expected 2005-2015 this decade, our country because of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and other chronic diseases caused by economic losses is 558 billion US dollars, accounting for the entire national health care investment of one-fifth to one quarter, so we look at the disease The burden is very large.
The four major risk factors of cardiovascular disease

Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, smoking, high cholesterol, poor lifestyle, lack of exercise, these are the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Risk factors: hypertension

Hypertension is the largest and independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In China, the prevalence of hypertension is also very high, about 160 million patients. Elevated blood pressure easily lead to atherosclerosis, further damage the heart, cerebrovascular, kidney, aorta, etc., to enhance the incidence of coronary heart disease. Hypertensive patients with vascular occlusion and rupture than normal blood pressure about 20 years earlier.

Some hypertensive patients do not have dizziness and other symptoms or symptoms are not obvious, easy to be ignored. But blood pressure can be measured more easily and controlled by changing the lifestyle and taking the medication. Blood pressure of more than 140/90 mm Hg is high blood pressure, normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mm Hg, with diabetes, coronary heart disease and other hypertensive patients to lower blood pressure to prevent cardiovascular events The

Risk factors two: high blood lipids

Epidemiological survey found that blood cholesterol levels higher than 260 mg / 100 ml, the incidence of coronary heart disease is less than 200 mg / 100 ml of 5 times, indicating that hyperlipidemia susceptible to coronary heart disease. The mechanism by which hyperlipidemia causes atherosclerosis may be that when the arteries are damaged (such as high blood pressure and smoking), the lipid will be deposited in the arterial intima and become a slightly elevated lesion, followed by arterial intima Fibrous connective tissue hyperplasia, will be surrounded, fixed, the formation of plaques, plaque deep can occur softening and ulcers, the formation of yellow porridge.

Risk factors three: high blood sugar

Hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia and other factors often co-exist, will accelerate atherosclerosis. Chinese carbohydrate intake is generally more, diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance is not uncommon. Many people are in the regular physical examination or coronary heart disease after the discovery of high blood sugar. And 70-80% of diabetic patients died of atherosclerosis-related diseases, followed by death because of small vascular disease, so prevention is very important. It is recommended to check the blood in the physical examination, especially the family history of the population, and not only to see fasting blood sugar, but also should see postprandial blood glucose indicators.

Risk factor four: smoking

Smoking is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. Smoking not only affects the health of the respiratory tract, but also is not conducive to the health of other organs. Smoking can affect the function of vascular endothelium, so that cardiovascular disease instability, causing thrombosis, leading to stroke, myocardial infarction and so on. The results of epidemiological studies show that the risk of coronary heart disease is proportional to the amount of smoking; smoking is more dangerous than smoking, and autopsy results show that smokers have a much more severe degree of arteriosclerosis than non-smokers; Not only affect the occurrence of coronary heart disease, but also affect the prognosis of myocardial infarction; passive smokers suffer the same harm; younger, the higher the relative risk; smoking can reduce the risk.

In addition there are factors such as emotional, family genetic, endocrine and other factors, will also affect the incidence of heart disease.

In short, cardiovascular disease patients to make the heart "safe winter", in addition to regulating blood pressure, pay attention to warm, but also pay attention to change the way of life, control blood pressure, rational medication. In addition to scientific arrangements for a good diet, the appropriate exercise to adhere to the body.
