Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases enter the high incidence season
People with hypertension should be more vigilant
The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the human body, directly connected to the heart and under extremely high pressure. Aortic dissection, in simple terms, is the tearing of the intima of the aortic vessel wall, causing blood to rush into the middle layer of the vessel wall and forcefully tear it apart, forming a 'true and false lumen'. Once the outer membrane cannot withstand the pressure and ruptures, blood will flow out like a dam, with a high mortality rate, "said Jiang Jinsong. Hypertension is the main culprit causing aortic dissection. In the case of uncontrolled blood pressure, emotional excitement, intense exercise, sudden exertion, and other behaviors are like "stomping on the gas pedal" on an already overwhelmed blood vessel, which can easily trigger tearing of the vessel wall.
In the midst of winter, gatherings are increasing, and drinking, staying up late, overeating, emotional fluctuations, and other factors can all cause a sudden rise in blood pressure and trigger vascular crises.
Jiang Jinsong reminds us to maintain a healthy lifestyle, have a balanced diet, exercise appropriately, balance work and rest, avoid staying up late, and manage our weight, blood pressure, and blood lipids well; Strictly follow the doctor's advice when taking medication, do not stop taking medication on your own, and maintain stable and standard blood pressure; Avoid excessive emotional fluctuations and try to maintain a calm mindset; Drink alcohol in moderation during meals and avoid overeating.
Once sudden and severe chest pain or tightness occurs, be highly vigilant and seek medical attention immediately.
