Is rheumatic heart disease serious?
Rheumatic heart disease is a type of organic heart disease caused by an abnormal immune response, leading to pathological changes in the heart valves, which pose significant risks to the body. Due to valve insufficiency or stenosis, rheumatic heart disease causes changes in hemodynamics, leading to heart failure and pulmonary edema. These are severe conditions for patients and require timely treatment and correction. If effective dietary therapy is not administered, especially for pulmonary edema, it can be life-threatening.
How does one get rheumatic heart disease?
Rheumatic heart disease is a type of organic heart disease caused by the body's abnormal reaction to infection with hemolytic streptococcus, leading to valve damage and the occurrence of rheumatic heart disease. It is directly related to upper respiratory tract infections and tonsillitis. To prevent the occurrence of heart disease, it is important to control infections early. Upon the appearance of upper respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, or tonsillar suppuration, timely selection of effective antibiotics for treatment can control the infection early and prevent the onset of rheumatic heart disease.
What to eat for high blood pressure
Patients with hypertension need to regularly take antihypertensive medication to bring their blood pressure within the normal range. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, avoiding foods high in fats such as fatty meat from animals, offal, fried foods, and sweets. Instead, consume more vegetables high in dietary fiber, vitamins, and trace minerals. Suitable vegetables for people with hypertension include celery, spinach, mung bean sprouts, black fungus, water chestnuts, onions, carrots, winter melon, and Chinese cabbage.
What should young people do about sinus arrhythmia?
When young people experience sinus arrhythmia, there is no need to panic. Sinus arrhythmia is a common occurrence among young people and is a normal physiological phenomenon. During their growth and development phase, young people have unstable autonomic nerve functions, or they may experience sinus arrhythmia due to frequently staying up late, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, smoking, drinking, and consuming strong tea or coffee. Regular participation in aerobic exercise, which increases the heart's contractility and conductivity, ensuring adequate sleep, avoiding staying up late, quitting smoking and drinking, and avoiding strong tea and coffee, can lead to the recovery from sinus arrhythmia.
Will sinus arrhythmia heal itself?
Sinus arrhythmia can heal on its own because it is a functional arrhythmia with no organic heart disease. It is commonly seen in young adults during their growth and development stages who frequently stay up late or have insufficient sleep, and in women going through menopause due to autonomic nervous dysfunction. The arrhythmia can self-resolve through rest, ensuring adequate sleep, and regulating the autonomic nervous dysfunction. It is also somewhat related to breathing. This type of arrhythmia generally does not require treatment with anti-arrhythmic drugs. It is important to rest, ensure sufficient sleep, and avoid drinking strong tea or coffee.
Can people with heart disease soak their feet?
Patients with heart disease can soak their feet. Soaking feet can dilate peripheral blood vessels, promote the expansion of capillaries, accelerate blood flow, and help invigorate the blood and remove stasis. Especially when soaking feet, adding some blood-activating and channel-unblocking medicines can achieve better effects. Foot soaking for patients with heart disease can dilate peripheral blood vessels, reduce the blood returning to the heart, and lessen the burden on the heart. Particularly for patients with coronary artery atherosclerosis, foot soaking can enhance blood flow and invigorate the blood, which is beneficial for heart disease patients. However, do not soak for too long and the water level should not be too high.
What department should I register for cardiomyopathy?
Myocardial disease is a common and frequently occurring disease in clinical practice, caused by various reasons leading to pathological changes in the myocardium. Common causes include viral infections, immune system disorders, and other factors, which can lead to degeneration, necrosis, fibrosis, and interstitial edema of the myocardium. This can cause heart failure, arrhythmias, and in severe cases, even death. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely treatment can save patients' lives and alleviate their suffering. It is necessary to consult with a psychiatrist, undergo relevant examinations under the guidance of a psychiatrist, make a clear diagnosis, and actively treat and rescue the patients.
What should be avoided with rheumatic heart disease?
Patients with rheumatic heart disease should avoid overexertion and getting angry. Both overexertion and anger can increase the heart's burden, leading to a worsening of the heart disease. Patients should consume easily digestible foods and avoid spicy and greasy foods because these can cause indigestion or gastrointestinal symptoms, which in turn can increase the burden on the heart. A low-salt diet is also recommended; avoid eating overly salty dishes. Consuming foods high in salt can lead to retention of sodium and water in the blood, which increases the heart's burden, and in severe cases, can lead to heart failure.
How to supplement the diet for low blood pressure
Low blood pressure can cause harm to the body, and long-term low blood pressure may lead to insufficient blood supply to important organs. Therefore, while treating with medications, dietary adjustments should also be made. Patients with low blood pressure should generally consume a diet high in protein, nutrients, and calories. It is often beneficial to include nutrient-rich soups such as chicken soup, duck soup, mutton soup, beef soup, and sea cucumber soup. These soups can not only provide high-quality proteins, trace elements, minerals, and various vitamins needed by the body but can also enhance the body's immunity.
What should be noted in daily life regarding myocardial infarction?
Myocardial infarction is a serious heart disease caused by coronary artery narrowing and blockage, leading to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, and necrosis, particularly in cases of extensive myocardial infarction. If not effectively treated, it can lead to severe complications such as heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and arrhythmias. Therefore, it is essential to follow a doctor's guidance and use effective medications for emergency treatment. In daily life, it is important to maintain a pleasant mood, avoid irritability, consume easily digestible food, quit smoking and drinking, and primarily follow a low-fat, low-salt diet to keep the bowel movements regular. This helps prevent worsening of the condition due to improper diet and constipation, which can increase the cardiac burden.
