People with healthy blood vessels prolong their lives.
Prevent hardening and clean up scale
Stabilizing Pressure, Reducing Lipid and Less Worry
Low salt and low oil, don’t smoke
Cardiovascular diseases are more severe than tigers.
According to the World Health Organization:
In 2012, 17.5 million people worldwide died of cardiovascular diseases, accounting for 31% of the total number of deaths worldwide.
Of these, about 7.4 million died of coronary heart disease and 6.7 million died of stroke.
To some extent, the health of blood vessels is a sign of long life.
Why is there a problem with blood vessels?
The blood vessels of the human body are like tap water pipes. The inner wall of the pipes will scale and rust, especially when used for a long time. If allowed to develop, the pipes will gradually be blocked and the water supply will not be able to be supplied.
Smoking and drinking habits, or diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, will accelerate the damage of the [water pipe] itself.
Excessive cholesterol, triglyceride and other [scale] will also increase the risk of atherosclerotic plaque formation. If the plaque falls off and flows with the blood, it will cause embolism in the corresponding part.
The blood vessel [is] broken, the disease is coming.
Vascular accidents in different parts will cause different diseases.
STEP 1 Occurs in the Brain-Stroke
Brain vascular stenosis or embolic blockage will cause brain cell damage and dysfunction in the blood supply area.
Increased vascular fragility and blood pressure will also increase the risk of cerebral vascular rupture and hemorrhage.
2. Occurs in the heart-myocardial infarction
If the blockage is not serious, it may affect the heart to pump blood or cause angina pectoris. Severe myocardial infarction is fatal.
3. Occurring in the lungs-pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary embolism is mostly caused by deep vein thrombosis in the legs, which blocks the blood vessels in the lungs after the thrombosis falls off, causing danger.
4. Occurred in limbs-arteriosclerosis occlusion, venous thrombosis
Severe arterial blockage may lead to ischemia and necrosis of legs and feet and even amputation.
However, if venous thrombosis falls off, it will cause embolism.
How did you find the vascular problem?
The following tests can help find problems and judge vascular conditions.
Chest radiograph: aorta tortuous, widened, accompanied by local calcification.
Coronary angiography: To understand the degree of coronary artery stenosis.
Color Doppler ultrasound of neck vessels: carotid artery intima-media is irregularly and obviously thickened, with hyperechoic plaques and heterogeneous echoes.
Vascular contrast-enhanced CT angiography: Contrast agent filling defect and lumen stenosis were found in abdominal aorta, external iliac artery and superficial femoral artery.
The [intimal thickening, calcification, plaque, stenosis] mentioned in these examination reports are vascular problems that need to be paid attention to.
How to clean blood vessels?
Some patients need to use lipid-lowering and thrombotic drugs according to doctor’s advice.
These drugs, on the one hand, can reduce the content of cholesterol and triglyceride in blood; On the other hand, the atherosclerotic plaque on blood vessels is stabilized to prevent it from falling off and forming thrombus, thus blocking blood vessels.
In more serious cases, or if blood vessels have been blocked, minimally invasive surgery may be required to open the narrow blood vessels to ensure blood flow. As is often heard, cardiac stents.
Of course, good living habits such as reasonable diet and suitable exercise are also very necessary for the maintenance of vascular health.
Better strategy is prevention
Prevention is always the best choice!
Not only elderly friends, middle-aged people and even young people should also pay attention to protecting blood vessels from all aspects of life.
Autumn and winter are also the high incidence periods of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. I hope everyone can be more aware of the importance of maintaining cardiovascular health.
How? It is also simple to say, nothing more than the following five points:
- Actively control [three highs] resolutely quit smoking, low salt and low fat diet, fruits and vegetables to sufficient regular medication, don’t take medicine indiscriminately regular physical examination
It is not easy to do so. It is necessary to form such awareness and persist for a long time to form healthy and good habits.
