What is heart disease? What are his symptoms? What problems should we pay attention to at ordinary times? What should heart patients eat?

Heart disease is the general name of heart disease, including rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, coronary heart disease, myocarditis and other heart diseases. Clinical practice shows that hand massage is an effective auxiliary means to prevent and treat heart disease. Look at what you say and do, and you will find it early. As the saying goes, prevent diseases early, nip in the bud; It's never too late to treat a disease early. The key to heart disease prevention and treatment is "early". So how to find heart disease at an early stage? That is to say, heart disease often has some superficial symptoms besides familiar symptoms such as palpitation and precordial pain. Pay attention to these premonitory symptoms, and you can find them early and treat them early. These surface symptoms include: ◆ Breathing: shortness of breath when doing some slight activities or in a quiet state, but not accompanied by cough and expectoration. This situation is likely to be a manifestation of left ventricular dysfunction. ◆ Face: If you are pale and purple, and your expression is indifferent, this is a dying face in the late stage of heart disease. If the face is dark red, it is a feature of rheumatic heart disease and mitral stenosis. If it is pale, it may be a sign of mitral insufficiency. ◆ Nose: If the nose is hard, it means that the heart has accumulated too much fat. If the tip of the nose is swollen, it means that the heart fat may also be swollen, or the heart disease is expanding. Besides, a red nose usually indicates a heart disease. ◆ Skin: The skin of patients with chronic heart failure and pulmonary heart disease can be dark brown or dark purple, which is related to the long-term hypoxia of body tissues and the decline of adrenal cortex function. The skin mucosa and limbs are blue-purple, indicating that the heart lacks oxygen and the reduced blood protein in the blood increases. ◆ Ear: Patients with heart disease have different degrees of tinnitus in the early stage. This is because the microvascular dynamics of the inner ear is abnormal. When the disease does not cause systemic reaction, the inner ear will receive a warning signal. If there are continuous wrinkles in your earlobe, it is probably caused by coronary atherosclerosis. ◆ Head and neck: If there is superficial tendon protruding from clavicle to earlobe, such as thick little finger, it is probably right heart insufficiency. ◆ Shoulder: The weather is obviously good, but the left shoulder and left arm are sore, which may be coronary heart disease. Hands and feet: the ends of fingers or toes are obviously thick, and the nail surface is raised like a drumstick, which is common in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease or congenital cyanotic heart disease. ◆ Lower limbs: Edema of lower limbs in middle-aged and elderly people is often a manifestation of venous blood return obstruction caused by cardiac insufficiency. In addition, if you often have palpitations and asthma, you can only relieve it by squatting, which is a unique manifestation of purple clamp heart disease. Heart disease patients should pay attention to three points. Heart disease can also cause dyspnea. Any heart disease, once heart failure occurs, will lead to dyspnea, asthma, anxiety and so on. However, many people don't know this. If they have asthma or cough, they will go to the respiratory department and even refuse to have a heart examination. When heart failure occurs, it causes dyspnea, because the heart-lung relationship is cordial. In the late stage of any heart disease, due to persistent myocardial lesions or cardiac overload, it will eventually lead to cardiac diastolic and shortening dysfunction, leading to heart failure, decreased stroke volume and increased pulmonary vein pressure. Patients will have dyspnea, asthma, cough, pink foam sputum or white foam sputum, and the above symptoms will be aggravated after exercise and lying down. Early heart failure is easy to be missed and misdiagnosed. The severity of heart failure symptoms depends on the individual's heart function. Besides the respiratory symptoms such as tracheitis and asthma, there are also symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal crumbs around gastroenteritis, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting. If the medical history and physical examination are not specifically asked, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal diseases such as chronic gastroenteritis; Oliguria and edema are similar to kidney diseases. Patients with heart failure are similar to kidney diseases, because the cardiac output is reduced, the systemic circulation is congested, the useful circulating blood volume is reduced, and the renal blood flow is insufficient, resulting in a decrease in 24-hour total urine volume and a relative increase in nocturia. In heart failure, the symptoms of cerebral ischemia are further aggravated due to the decrease of cardiac output. If we don't pay attention to differentiation, we can easily be misdiagnosed as senile neuropathy, stroke, brain tumor and so on. Nowadays, in addition to conventional diuretics, digoxin and nerve excretion inhibitors, Chinese medicine can further improve the therapeutic effect of heart failure, better improve patients' symptoms and improve their quality of life. At present, Chinese medicine has formed a set of peculiar methods to treat heart failure. The weather is changeable. Recently, the weather has changed greatly, and the number of patients with heart disease has increased significantly. For people with poor heart function, we must pay attention to a healthy diet with high nutrition, easy digestion and low salt. A healthy diet should meet the following requirements: 1. The daily intake of cholesterol should not exceed 300 mg. 2. Fat intake should not exceed 30% of total calories. 3. Eat less or not eat refined sugar foods such as sucrose and glucose. 4. Eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as fruits, fresh vegetables and vegetable oils. 5. Eat less and foods with high fatty acid and cholesterol content, such as fat, egg yolk, animal oil and animal offal. 6. Diet should be high in potassium and low in sodium, and bean products and tea should be encouraged. 7. Eat regularly, not too hungry or too full. 8. Appropriate intake of cellulose food (including grain starch), keep the stool unobstructed.
