How to prevent heart failure?

summary

In winter, more patients are hospitalized because of heart failure. This is because heart failure occurs in the end of all cardiovascular diseases. The most common chronic diseases are coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and so on. Cold winter is the high incidence season of these chronic diseases. Let's take a look at the following.

How to prevent heart failure?

First: Generally speaking, cold and infection are the main causes of heart failure aggravation and even death. The sudden drop of temperature in winter is easy to cause a cold, and may lead to lung infection, which will increase the burden on the heart and make the heart beat faster.

Second: the heart beat faster, easy to increase myocardial oxygen consumption, so that the heart itself needs more oxygen, but the function of the heart can not provide, this vicious circle is an important cause of heart failure. In addition, the temperature difference between morning and night in winter is large, the blood vessels are easy to contract and spasm, and the occurrence of insufficient blood supply will also increase the risk of heart failure.

Third: low temperature environment is more likely to cause vasoconstriction of human body, and increase blood viscosity. For normal people, it can be overcome, but for cardiovascular patients, it is easy to induce heart failure. Especially in the cold period, often complicated with organ and lung infection, more likely to induce heart failure. Therefore, we must do a good job in winter to keep warm, once a cold, to timely treatment.

matters needing attention

Drinking too much water will increase the burden on the heart, so cardiovascular patients must strictly control the amount of drinking water.
