How to treat heart failure symptoms?
summary
After suffering from heart failure, many friends do not know how to treat their own disease. In fact, the key to the treatment of this disease is to find a suitable treatment for everyone's condition, which is the key to cure the disease. So, how to effectively treat heart failure? Now let's talk about it.
How to treat heart failure symptoms?
The treatment of heart failure should include preventing and delaying the occurrence of heart failure; Objective to relieve the symptoms of patients with clinical heart failure, improve their long-term prognosis and reduce mortality. Therefore, it is necessary to take comprehensive treatment measures in the long run, including early treatment of various risk factors that can lead to heart function damage, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension and diabetes; It can regulate the compensatory mechanism of heart failure and reduce its negative effects, such as antagonizing the over activation of neurohumoral factors and preventing the progress of myocardial remodeling; In addition to relieving symptoms, the following goals should be achieved for patients with clinical heart failure: (1) improving exercise tolerance and quality of life; ② Prevent or delay the further aggravation of myocardial damage; ③ Reduce mortality.
The treatment of basic causes: for all the common diseases that may lead to the impairment of heart function, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, etc., effective treatment should be carried out early before the organic changes of heart are caused. For example, it is not difficult to control hypertension and diabetes; Drug, interventional and surgical treatment can improve myocardial ischemia of coronary heart disease; The intervention, valve replacement and correction of chronic valvular disease and congenital malformation should be performed before clinical symptoms of heart failure. For a few diseases of unknown etiology, such as primary dilated cardiomyopathy, early intervention should be taken to delay the process of ventricular remodeling from the pathophysiological level. The biggest obstacle of etiological treatment is that the discovery and treatment are too late. Many patients are often satisfied with short-term treatment to relieve symptoms, delay time until they develop into severe heart failure and can not tolerate surgery, and lose the opportunity of treatment.
Elimination of inducement: the common inducement of infection, especially respiratory tract infection, should be actively selected appropriate antibiotic treatment. The possibility of infective endocarditis should be paid attention to if fever lasts for more than one week. Arrhythmia, especially atrial fibrillation, is also a common cause of heart failure. For atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate, ventricular rate should be controlled as soon as possible, and cardioversion should be performed in time if possible. Potential hyperthyroidism, anemia and so on may also be the cause of heart failure aggravation, should pay attention to check and correct.
matters needing attention
Diet should be less greasy, more fruits and vegetables. For patients with heart failure, salt intake must be controlled. Excessive salt intake will increase fluid retention and aggravate edema, but it * s not necessary to avoid salt.
