The heart is the most important organ of the human body. It is difficult for people to survive without a heart. However, many people may not pay much attention to protecting their hearts, and they are prone to some cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial ischemia. Myocardial ischemia is a common cardiovascular disease. After the disease, we need to take good care of it. How to take care of myocardial ischemia? How to treat myocardial ischemia?
1. Massage conditioning method
Acupoint location: The Daling point is located in the middle of the palmar crease on the wrist; Neiguan point is located in the middle of the forearm, 2 points above the wrist crease. Cun; Jianzhi point is located 3 cun above the transverse crease of the wrist.
Operation technique: Use the side of your thumb to rub the acupoint. When there is numbness and swelling in the area, raise your hand, and then use the same technique to rub the Neiguan acupoint and Jianzhi acupoint for 2 minutes each.
Efficacy: The three acupoints are all acupoints on the pericardial meridian of Hand Jueyin. Massaging these three points can improve acute myocardial ischemia by adjusting the microcirculation of the meridians and increasing blood flow.
2. Exercise and conditioning methods
People with myocardial ischemia are not suitable for strenuous, long-term, and difficult exercise programs, so what exercises can be used to relax the muscles and activate blood circulation.
Tai Chi and walking are safe and effective exercise methods that can increase heart blood flow without increasing heart pressure. People can usually listen to soothing music to adjust their breathing during exercise. The effect is better when combined with exercise.
3. Diet conditioning methods
(1) Chrysanthemum and hawthorn drink
Ingredients: 15 grams of chrysanthemum and 20 grams of raw hawthorn.
Method: Add appropriate amount of water into the pot, bring to a boil, add chrysanthemum hawthorn, and cook for 10 minutes.
Efficacy: Chrysanthemum can treat coronary heart disease and lower blood pressure; hawthorn can lower blood pressure, strengthen the heart, and resist arrhythmia. It is a good medicine for promoting blood circulation and reducing phlegm. This dietary formula can be used to regulate atherosclerosis. Caused myocardial ischemia.
(2) Roasted tofu with fungus
Ingredients: 100 grams of fungus, 300 grams of tofu, appropriate amounts of ginger, coriander, onions, garlic, salt, sesame oil, etc.
Method: Cut the tofu into small pieces, wash the fungus and set aside. Add oil to the pot and heat it up. When the oil is hot, add onions, ginger, etc. and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the tofu and stir-fry. Finally, add the fungus and stir-fry. Add salt and light soy sauce and continue stir-frying.
Efficacy: The polysaccharides rich in fungus can clear blood vessels, remove cholesterol in blood vessels, and thereby improve the blood circulation of the heart, which is very helpful for patients with myocardial ischemia.
4. Seek medical treatment in serious cases
Atherosclerosis is the main cause of myocardial ischemia. Sometimes the disease comes quickly and the body function is prone to major problems. At this time, in addition to doing In addition to supplementary treatment such as oxygen inhalation and emergency medicine, timely medical treatment is required.
5. Dangers of myocardial ischemia
1. Angina pectoris and arrhythmia
Oxygen is an essential substance for the activity of myocardial cells, and oxygen is passed through the blood delivered to cells. Therefore, once ischemia occurs, it will immediately cause myocardial hypoxia. The direct consequence of hypoxia is that the aerobic metabolism of myocardial cells is weakened and the production capacity is reduced, which leads to insufficient supply of energy necessary for heart activity, causing angina pectoris, arrhythmia, decreased cardiac function and other discomforts.
2. Myocardial metabolism disorder
During myocardial ischemia, due to obstruction of aerobic metabolism, acidic metabolites increase, and due to blood flow obstruction, these acidic metabolites cannot be cleared in time. The PH of the myocardium drops rapidly, causing acidosis.
The metabolic disorder caused by myocardial ischemia can also cause a significant reduction in the production of high-energy phosphate compounds, and the metabolic products that cause myocardial damage accumulate in the myocardium.
3. Pulmonary congestion
Myocardial ischemia can also damage the diastolic function of the heart. The combination of poor cardiac systole and poor diastole can easily lead to increased ventricular filling pressure and pulmonary congestion.
4. Myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction is the necrosis of the myocardium due to severe and long-lasting ischemia. It is generally believed that the myocardium can become irreversible after 20-30 minutes of cessation of blood supply. After injury, most cells in the ischemic central area die. The larger the infarct area, the more serious the consequences, and may even lead to heart failure, cardiogenic shock and other diseases.
