Physicians reminded that if you eat hot pot in cold weather, you should be careful that the bottom of the pot is too oily, too salty, too spicy, which is not good for blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar control; the picture shows the situation.

[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] When the cold snap hits and the temperature plummets, many people will eat pot to warm up, but doctors remind that high-calorie soup or hot pot will cause blood sugar and cholesterol to exceed the standard. The salty bottom of the pot is also not conducive to blood pressure control. If you experience chest pain, tightness, or wheezing, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid sudden death.

Huang Chenyou, attending physician of the Interventional Cardiovascular Department of the Cardiovascular Center of Cathay General Hospital, pointed out that people with a history of angina, arrhythmia, and stroke should be especially careful when the cold snap hits.

And patients with three highs should not take it lightly.

Winter is a time when acute cardiovascular diseases are prone to occur. The main reason is that when the temperature drops sharply, the blood vessels in the body will also contract, which will increase the resistance of blood flow, easily cause blood pressure to rise, and cause vascular endothelial cells and atherosclerotic plaques. Instability of blood pressure increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction and acute infarct stroke. Once people experience symptoms such as persistent chest tightness, dyspnea, unilateral sudden weakness or slurred speech, they must seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent sudden death accidents. .

Clear soup is the best soup base, beware of high sodium content in hot pot soup

Huang Chenyou reminded that when eating pot in cold weather, the hot pot soup base should try to choose kelp and bonito-flavored clear soup, and avoid heavy pot bottoms such as spicy, cheese, sauerkraut and white meat. In addition, it is recommended to drink hot pot soup only 20 minutes after boiling , because once cooked, the concentration of food additives such as sodium ions, phosphates and nitrates in the soup will increase significantly.

In addition, you should also avoid eating too much fatty meat (pig, beef, sheep) and processed hot pot ingredients.

Huang Chenyou said that in winter, groups with cardiovascular risk should be particularly careful, including patients with three highs, smoking and chronic kidney disease, because these are the most related causes of atherosclerosis. In addition to taking medicine on time, regular Track various cholesterol values, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood sugar, and renal function creatinine index.

Patients with high blood pressure need to pay special attention. Regardless of age or gender, it is currently recommended to measure blood pressure at home and keep it below 130/80 mmHg.

Blood pressure tends to fluctuate in winter. It is recommended that patients should record more blood pressure at home, and discuss with the doctor about the necessary slight adjustment of hypertension drugs when returning to the clinic.

Myocardial infarction occurs quickly and acute angina often occurs in emotional agitation

Patients with myocardial infarction and chronic angina are common in winter. The difference between the two is that the chest tightness caused by chronic angina is mostly prone to occur when the amount of activity increases and emotions are agitated, and the chest tightness can be gradually improved after rest; but myocardial infarction Different from chronic angina, the symptoms often come quickly and urgently. Sudden chest discomfort may occur at any time, including sleep, rest, exercise or at the end.

If you experience chest pain, tightness, or shortness of breath, you should seek medical attention to prevent sudden death; the picture is a photo of the situation, and the people in the picture have nothing to do with this article.

Huang Chenyou said that the symptoms of angina can also be called stable angina. During exercise (exercise, angry state), there will be insufficient oxygen supply to myocardial cells, resulting in myocardial hypoxia.

Chest tightness is the most common and typical symptom of myocardial hypoxia, and a small part also manifests as wheezing, upper abdominal discomfort, dizziness or nausea.

Drugs are the priority for the treatment of chronic angina, including antiplatelet drugs, vasodilators, or beta sympathetic blockers; if the stenosis is severe, the effect of drug treatment is limited, and coronary catheterization can be performed. Intravascular balloon dilation is performed in the most severe stenosis. If the blood flow is still poor after dilation, vascular stent placement can be performed.

After myocardial infarction, the chest tightness will continue and become more and more serious. At the same time, there will be tingling and numbness in the jaw and gums, numbness in the left arm, nausea and cold sweats. There will be a marked improvement.

In the event of myocardial infarction, it is necessary to rush to do a cardiac catheterization to open the blocked blood vessel and clear the thrombus

The mechanism of myocardial infarction is different from that of chronic angina. About 20 minutes after the occurrence of myocardial infarction, irreversible cell necrosis and apoptosis will occur. What is needed at this time is emergency cardiac catheterization to open up the blocked blood vessels as soon as possible and remove the thrombus in the lumen. In most cases All require stent placement.

The complications of myocardial infarction and the risk of cardiac catheterization are highly correlated with the severity of blood vessels and the time of myocardial reperfusion. The more vascular lesions and the later the blood vessels are opened, the higher the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
