The heart is the "engine" of the human body, and all functions of the body need the heart to pump blood to maintain. But such a seemingly powerful organ is actually very fragile.
According to the statistics released at the World Arrhythmia Congress, there are about 20 million arrhythmia patients in China, and about 540,000 people die suddenly every year.
The Journal of the American College of Cardiology has published the results of the "Prospective Study of Chronic Diseases in China": 67.9% of major coronary events such as acute myocardial infarction and 39.1% of ischemic stroke in Chinese people are related to unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, insufficient exercise, unreasonable diet, and obesity.
You may not know that heart disease may change your "appearance" before palpitations and precordial pain occur.
Let the experts teach you today to read the words and look
and
detect the signs of heart disease as early as possible.
These physiognomy are signs of heart disease:
is a local or systemic swelling caused by the accumulation of water in the body's extracellular fluid, which is related to the lesions of many organs of the body.
The face shape is swollen, the facial muscle tissue is saggy, and indentations will occur when pressed with fingers, and the skin at the indentation site will not bounce. These changes can indicate a heart problem.
2. The end of the finger (toe) is thick
, the
end is obviously thick like a drumstick, the normal depression of the skin disappears, the soft tissue at the bottom of the "drumstick" is raised, and the surrounding skin is tight and shiny, these manifestations are common in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease or congenital cyanotic heart disease.
. 50% of cases of abdominal pain and heart disease are accompanied by abdominal pain, sometimes feeling nausea or stomach bloating. Symptom description: Abdominal pain that precursors to heart disease are intermittent and will flare up again soon after the discomfort subsides, and the tension in the limbs can exacerbate the abdominal pain.
clinical experience, people with thick necks have relatively high blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators, which are closely related to heart disease. In general, if the neck circumference is more than 39 cm for men and 35 cm for women, it means that the neck is thicker.
there is a coherent fold in the earlobe, it probably indicates that coronary arteriosclerosis is more serious.
It refers to an oblique fold that starts between the tragus and ends at the edge of the earlobe, at a 45° angle, and is longer than 1/3 of the earlobe, and can be seen on one or both sides of the earlobe.
6. Dark brown or dark purple skinThe
skin of patients with chronic heart failure and advanced pulmonary heart disease can be dark brown or dark purple, which is related to the long-term hypoxia of body tissues.
Patients with rheumatic heart disease and mitral stenosis have a dark red complexion. With mitral regurgitation, the patient may be pale.
Pumping dysfunction of the heart causes the body to lack oxygen, which can cause the skin and mucous membranes to turn blue and purple (cyanosis).
Although these physical characteristics are an important part of a doctor's inspection, it is important to note that a person's appearance alone cannot tell whether a person has heart disease.
If you have any of the above problems and suspect that you have a heart attack, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive diagnosis and then decide on the next step of treatment.
Angina pectoris: Neiguan acupoint and Shenmen acupoint
are suitable for daily health care of patients with coronary heart disease or when angina is attacked.
Location of Neiguan acupoint: From the center of the horizontal wrinkle near the wrist to the center about three finger widths upwards.
The strength is from light to heavy, so that the acupuncture points produce sourness, numbness, swelling, pain, heat and other effects. Massage once a day in the morning and afternoon, and massage each acupoint for 2~3 minutes.
The
number of heartbeats in the quiet state of a normal person in the Xuanmen acupoint is 60~100 times per minute, when it is too fast, too slow or there is an irregular beat, it is called arrhythmia.
Location of the acupoint: 5 inches on the transverse stria of the wrist, between the tendon of the palmaris longus muscle and the flexor carpi radialis tendon. It is roughly equivalent to the midpoint of the carpal and elbow striae, and between the two tendons.
Massage method: Put the finger peak of the thumb or index finger (avoid pinching the skin with your nails) on the acupuncture points, rub first and then press, mainly downward, and alternately carry out left and right. Push a little harder. Massage once a day in the morning and afternoon, 5 minutes per acupoint, five kinds
of people who are prone to heart
disease.1 People with frequent constipationConstipation
patients usually exert too much force because of difficulty in defecation, causing abdominal pressure to rise, and blood pressure to rise.
At the same time, the heart rate increases, resulting in an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption, resulting in severe and long-lasting acute ischemia and even myocardial infarction.
for a long time, the myocardial tissue will gradually age and die due to lack of oxygen, and the valve will also undergo degenerative changes.
who sit for a long time reduce the amount of blood flowing to the veins and arteries of the heart, and can also negatively affect the function of vascular endothelial cells.
4. People who are often angry
have an increased risk of heart attack due to anger or anxiety.
