Symptoms of edema in coronary heart disease

summary

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a kind of disease caused by coronary artery atherosclerotic lesions, which leads to stenosis or obstruction of the vascular cavity, causing some heart problems. However, suffering from this disease will lead to symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnea, exertion, food loss, etc., but there will be no edema, That is to say, edema has nothing to do with coronary heart disease. Then some people ask what is the cause of edema, and there are symptoms of edema all over the body. Next, I'll talk about the cause of edema.

Symptoms of edema in coronary heart disease

The first is the decrease of plasma colloid osmotic pressure, when the plasma albumin level drops to 2.5 ± 5 g% or total protein reduced to 5 ± 0.5g% will lead to edema, and in most cases is systemic edema, this time the patient needs to supplement some more easily absorbed food in the diet.

Secondly, the increase of hydrostatic pressure in capillaries, ascites and gastrointestinal wall edema caused by cirrhosis, and the obstruction of vena cava reflux in heart failure will lead to edema in patients. However, the edema in this case is also systemic edema.

Finally, the lymphatic reflux is blocked. After some operations, the lymphatic circulation will be destroyed. At this time, the water in the body will accumulate continuously. Finally, edema will appear. In addition, extensive cancer cell embolism of lymphatic vessels can cause local edema.

matters needing attention

Patients with edema don't need to make a fuss and find out the cause. However, further treatment is OK. Generally speaking, it can be treated, because edema is not a serious disease.
