Coronary Heart Disease
Coronary heart disease develops gradually and by the time the show itself, usually go very far.
For the first time the disease manifests itself in different ways: myocardial infarction, angina or sudden cardiac catastrophe. due to irregularities of heart rhythm. In patients with angina for the first time emerged as a rule, are narrowing in the coronary arteries (atherosclerotic plaques).
Plaque did not arise overnight. If you examine it under a microscope, it is like tree rings, it has a layered structure, indicating age. Already the children are found lipid spots on the inner envelope of arteries. By 50 years of age (sometimes later, sometimes sooner) plaque can grow so that it would impede the inflow of blood to the heart muscle.
Causes of disease
Under the conditions of rest or at low loads, even if there is narrowing of coronary arteries in the heart muscle is often no oxygen starvation. The situation dramatically changed during the load, when the plots of heart, that the blood comes from the narrowed coronary arteries, are beginning to suffer from oxygen deficiency. This leads to myocardial ischemia (hence the name of the disease - ischemic heart disease). The degree of ischemia increases when a plaque at the site of coronary artery spasm, more shoulder clearance vessel.
Today, however, it will not, manifestations of the disease and what factors contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries and how you can pause the development of disease.
Among the population of myocardial infarction is surrounded by noble halo disease. It is believed that it was as if pay for living and social activity for overwork and overstress. Accepted even say: "brought to a heart attack," "refined until a heart attack", «a little heart attack do not get». But usually the time of occurrence of myocardial infarction is preceded by a long series of days when the patients themselves to create a disease. They vylepili her of the risk factors, like a swallow's nest lepit of a piece of land, stay in bed on the couch, stood up at tram stops, vysideli for ustavlennymi SNED tables, to weave the clouds of tobacco smoke, its disregard for the court treatment of labor and leisure.
Doctors did not share the disease to honor, malopochetnye and unworthy. They have shown that coronary artery disease are sick. who will not pass extra kilometer walk, do not delay with your dish an extra piece of food. From the doctor's observations and special studies began teaching about the risk factors of ischemic heart disease.
Who has the risk of falling ill?
Of the risk factors for coronary heart disease are the most dangerous: a high level of cholesterol in the blood, a persistent increase of blood pressure, presence of diabetes, smoking, obesity, alcohol consumption, sedentary, frequent psycho - emotional overload.
Detection of a human one or more of the factors does not mean that it is already sick of ischemic heart disease, and that it predisposed to it. The more risk factors identified in humans, the greater the likelihood of falling ill, and at a younger age.
The value of each of the risk factors is ambiguous and depends on the intensity, duration and constancy of the impact of a factor of their combination, the degree of exposure to human impact.
Some examples
Risk factors are genetically caused, and purchased. In most cases, the disease is not inherited, and a predisposition to it. Therefore, the hereditary nature of a disorder should not be perceived as being fatal, but instead should encourage the active prevention.
In rare cases, the exchange of cholesterol disorder begins in childhood. Cholesterol accumulates in tendons, skin. in the iris and in the walls of blood vessels. Do these patients develop premature coronary heart disease.
In most cases, the accumulation of cholesterol in the body - the result of excess food and low physical activity. Passed many years before it would lead to disease. Consequently, a person has leeway to resist the harmful influences of risk factors.
Hereditary predisposition to diabetes is not in doubt. However, in most cases, if the patient complies with a diet with restriction of carbohydrates, not overloading insulyarnye cells of the pancreas, the disease is not formed, and this example shows that it is possible to resist, and those risk factors that are hereditary in nature.
Alcohol and the heart
Among those who die suddenly in the street, at work, at home, many people suffering from coronary heart disease. But few know that the immediate cause of death for almost every second of the number of sudden deaths was alcohol. Typically death occurs during hangover, when the body is replete with products of combustion of alcohol, which leads to severe violations of the rhythm of the heart.
There is a paradoxical situation. Tragically, people die suddenly, many years, "profit" his illness hidden bolevshie. Similarly, deaths of healthy people. not necessarily alcoholics, but firmly vypivshie.
Is it possible to resist risk factors?
Yes. Methods of exposure to them is simple: restrictions on diet, physical activity, refraining from smoking and alcohol use, adherence to the regime of work and rest. These recommendations are known to banality, commonplace to skuchnosti, nesensatsionny and not exotic, but nothing better than thought.
Restraint in eating, not only gives Slenderness figure and a youthful agility. The main result - the normalization of metabolism in the body, especially the unloading of cholesterol.
What makes physical the training? A man looks better, feels more confident, less exhausting. But not only in this case. It has beneficial effects on metabolic processes in the body. Even if the disease has developed, trained people better prepared to withstand it. Physically trained people to suffer from fewer strokes.
Extremes are unacceptable!
People in different ways relate to the risk of falling ill with ischemic heart disease. Some completely ignore the self-monitoring behavior, treatment, diet, considering it unworthy of the attention of business people. They do not want anything to change in his lifestyle. Others though, and think about the dangers of surfing, but I really do not take because of the employment, laziness, doubt of success.
Some live with the idea that they might get sick, and they often develop hypochondriac syndrome. Difficult to live a man who in all the world sees only peril. Life can be very bleak, when one day in and day counts each eaten a piece of sugar (s, diabetes), oil (oh, atherosclerosis), salted fish (s, hypertension), which upset because of the slightest violation of the regime of the day (oh, overfatigue nervous system) or the weather (oh, colds).
Others have shown excessive activity in countering risk factors. Observe nefieiologichnye diets, starving, are running or not commensurate with their ability to load, rhythmic gymnastics.
Extremes are unacceptable. Between them are those who are full, full life, harmoniously combining the creative work, physical and emotional activity, and control over their way of life.
Habits are different
Habits are harmful or beneficial, depending on how they affect human health and the environment.
The habit of smoking contributes to the development of coronary heart disease, obliterating endarteriita, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, gastric ulcer.
Many ills habit leads to hypokinesia, ie to low physical activity. A sad sight to represent, for example, students MIIT, which swarm from the metro station "Novoslobodskaya" in anticipation of the tram, while the institution can reach up to 15 minutes.
The habit of overeating as a child is determined by philoprogenitive parents. The habit overeat for a festive table gradually becomes accustomed to overeat for each meal-As a result - the goods are serious diseases.
Often you can hear the call «Borites with addictions!». This appeal involves kampaneyschinu. So you see, and gloomily, the determined individual rights, overcoming something. A much more precise call: "to develop useful habits!" From the set of good habits create a healthy lifestyle.
Develop good habits leads to renewed health of healthy people and patients with early manifestations of disease progression to be suspended.
Formula useful habits: "I do not smoke," "Thanks, but I do not eat at night», "Because of the two stops, I never sit down on the bus", I avoid to use the elevator." I'm finished with the habit on all occasions, and without cause drink alcohol». From a set of good habits formed by a certain behavior.
Behavior must lay in childhood: the habit and love of physical exercise, moderation in eating restraint in behavior, aversion to tobacco and alcohol.
Get rid of bad habits and develop a helpful lot harder. Replacing bad habits in the utility involves the restructuring of behavior, attitudes, motivations. This process can be painful, difficult, causing the internal resistance.
In the process of overcoming the habit has its own sweetness, the sweetness of victory over oneself. The man has an opportunity to test themselves and their will.
It is an honor to man, when he was able to abandon bad habits: "I already gave up smoking six months as," For a month I am dropped 2 kg »." I go every morning at 4 kilometers, "" I have a ticket to the swimming pool, and I never missed a session. "
As designers create fashion season, let's create the fashion to health, to life without the risks!
Physical activity must become a way of life since childhood!
