There is a sign two hours before a heart attack

The high temperature has been above 35 degrees recently, and many people have suffered from heatstroke. We learned from Nanjing First Hospital that hot weather can excite the sympathetic nerves of patients with cardiovascular disease and increase the burden on the cardiovascular system, especially for those with heart failure. The heat in their bodies cannot be dissipated in time and accumulates, so they are more likely to suffer from "heatstroke".

Fatal detail 1: Long-term high pressure, overwhelmed

For heart patients, the accumulation of stress has planted a "bomb" in their hearts. Related research shows that patients with coronary heart disease who are under great mental stress are three times more likely to die than those with less mental stress. Therefore, after work, you must try to relax, relieve stress, and balance work and rest.

Fatal detail 2: Emotional excitement, extreme joy and sorrow

The relationship between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and emotions could be discussed for days and nights. Abnormal emotions may be a trigger for a heart attack. When the human body is under high stress, or when emotions fluctuate drastically, it releases norepinephrine, a hormone that promotes the lysis of bacterial biofilms on the walls of arterial vessels, causing arterial plaques to enter the bloodstream, which can ultimately lead to a heart attack.

Fatal detail 3: After a full meal, blood coagulates

Greasy meals have a direct impact on heart health. If you eat and drink too much and consume too much high-fat and high-protein food, it will compress blood vessels and make the blood more likely to clot. If you want to treat yourself to delicious food, it's best to plan your meal appropriately. An aspirin a day can prevent blood clotting.

Fatal detail 4: Straining to defecate, slow blood flow

Straining during a bowel movement can also lead to a fatal heart attack. Yes, it can happen. Because exerting force increases chest pressure and slows down the flow of blood back to the heart. Therefore, remember to eat more fiber to prevent dehydration and excessive straining during bowel movements.

Fatal detail 5: Smoking is not good for your heart

Smoking is not only harmful to the lungs, but also to the heart. There are more than 4,000 toxic substances in cigarettes, such as nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, etc., which are all harmful to the human body. When smoking, nicotine reaches the blood, and the inevitable reaction is increased blood pressure, blood vessel constriction, and accelerated pulse. Inhaling carbon monoxide can cause oxygen deprivation in the blood.

Fatal detail six: excessive anxiety and urgent need for stress relief

In an Australian study, researchers found a correlation between acute anxiety attacks and a 9.5-fold increased risk of having a heart attack two hours later. The reason why acute anxiety leads to an increased risk of heart attack may be due to increased heart rate and blood pressure, blood vessel constriction and increased blood clots, which are all factors that trigger heart disease. Therefore, patients at high risk for heart disease should actively avoid activities that trigger anxiety and seek stress relief training to control anxiety reactions.
