How to maintain health and longevity after cardiac stent implantation? It is particularly important to do these four things well.

Up to now, cardiac stent implantation is still an important way to improve the blood supply of the heart and reduce the damage of cardiac function caused by severe cardiovascular stenosis or occlusion. Many friends put stents in the stenosis or occlusion of coronary artery because of illness intervention. Many people worry that if I put the stent in my heart, I won't live for a few years.

And what is the actual situation? It is true that some friends who put stents died a few years later for one reason or another, but some friends who put stents lived a long and healthy life. Why is there such a difference? How do those who put stents keep healthy and live a long life? Let's talk about this topic today.

The heart needs a stent. There are usually two situations. One is that when acute myocardial infarction occurs, it is an important first-aid measure to quickly improve the blood supply to the heart and reduce the great harm caused by acute myocardial infarction. There is also a serious coronary artery stenosis, which has affected the blood supply to the heart. The risk of myocardial infarction is high, and long-term severe blood supply deficiency may also affect the health of the heart. In this case, the doctor will evaluate the necessity of stent intervention according to the specific situation. It is also a very important treatment to open the severely narrow blood flow path, strengthen the blood supply to the heart and reduce the risk of complete infarction in the narrow part.

For the first case, if it is definitely acute myocardial infarction and the infarct site can be treated with stent intervention, then stent implantation is a routine and important treatment method. In the second case, doctors need to evaluate whether stents should be placed, whether conservative drug treatment can protect cardiovascular health, and which is more risky and profitable. All these aspects need to maintain an upright and benevolent heart, judge with their own professional knowledge, and make reasonable choices in combination with the actual situation.

However, in either case, if we place a stent in a coronary artery stenosis or occlusion through stent intervention, the stent will usually "support" the stenosis, making our blood flow smoother and restoring the blood supply needed by the heart. How long the stent can live is not necessarily related. The role of the stent is to repair the heart and blood vessels. Although it is a foreign body, it will not bring additional adverse effects to people's overall health. The history of stent surgery has been several decades, and there are many examples that people can live for twenty or thirty years after stent placement. Therefore, if the stent is placed, it will definitely affect people's life span. This cognition is.

Regarding how long the heart can live after stenting, we should first pay attention to the specific situation of heart function after stenting. When acute myocardial infarction occurs, some friends can call the emergency number in time, place the stent in time and open the occluded coronary artery, so the risk of heart damage is very small, and some friends also have sudden myocardial infarction, because they have not found it in time, or even if they have found it, they hesitate to place the stent, which delays the best treatment opportunity. Even if the stent was put in the end and the life was saved, it is a foregone conclusion that the heart function is seriously damaged. In these two cases, the life expectancy of the former and the latter will be very different. Therefore, it is very important to know more about your health status and cardiovascular risks, and to identify and treat yourself reasonably when acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events occur, which is also the key to ensure our longevity.

After stent implantation, how to ensure cardiovascular health and minimize the risk of further cardiovascular events will give you the following four suggestions.

The first suggestion is to make psychological adjustment. The above-mentioned misconception will make many friends worry and fear all day because their hearts have been stented, and they are always worried that their lives will soon end. In fact, this bad mood of panic and anxiety has a great influence on their health. As long as there are no major problems during the operation and the postoperative recovery is good, there is no need to worry about whether the stent will affect the life. Instead of worrying about anxiety, it is better to relax and face your cardiovascular system with an optimistic and positive attitude.

The second suggestion is to do a good job in life conditioning. In order to reduce cardiovascular risk, it is the basis and focus to do a good job of life conditioning. Another misunderstanding about heart stent is that once the heart is implanted and the blood vessels are opened, it will be "once and for all". This idea is even more unacceptable, and it is also an important misunderstanding that affects the cardiovascular risk after stent implantation. For those lifestyle adjustment methods that reduce cardiovascular risk, such as healthy and reasonable diet, reasonable exercise, good work and rest, and quitting smoking and drinking, it is still an important aspect to further strengthen cardiovascular risk control after stent implantation, and it is better to stick to lifestyle adjustment. If we observe those friends whose hearts are still long after being implanted with stents, what they have in common is that they can exercise strict self-discipline in their lives and do a good job in regulating their diet, exercise, sleep and bad habits.

The third suggestion is to actively control related risks and chronic diseases. Cardiac stent solves the problem of severe cardiovascular stenosis or occlusion, but it does not solve the problem of cardiovascular sclerosis and stenosis caused by chronic diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. Active adjustment and control are still needed. Blood pressure should be controlled below 1.30/80 mmhg, blood sugar should be controlled below 7.0%, and the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in blood lipids should be controlled below1.8mmol/L. If these indicators can be strictly controlled to meet the standards, the further development of atherosclerosis will be controlled and the risk of cardiovascular diseases will be greatly reduced. To achieve this, it is often necessary not only to do a good job in life conditioning, but also to take related drugs, pay attention to rational drug use, and try to control the three highs as much as possible on the premise of ensuring drug safety.

The fourth suggestion is that cardiovascular risk prevention drugs should be taken for a long time. In addition to controlling the "three highs", we should also pay attention to the preventive medication of cardiovascular disease risk. There are two main drugs in this regard. First, drugs to control blood lipids. On the one hand, these drugs can strictly control blood lipids (low density lipoprotein cholesterol should be controlled at 1.8, and other blood lipid indexes should also be reasonably controlled). On the other hand, statins are the most common drugs, as well as ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitors. , has gradually become a drug used in combination with statins or alone to reduce cardiovascular risk, which can be combined with the specific situation of the body. In addition to drugs that strictly control blood lipids, antiplatelet drugs are also important cardiovascular disease risk prevention drugs. Aspirin, clopidogrel and teGrelleaud all belong to this category. These drugs can effectively prevent platelet aggregation and reduce the risk of thrombosis again. Usually, after stent implantation, it takes a period of double antibody therapy (taking two antiplatelet drugs), and then gradually changes to single drug for long-term use, but it must be taken for a long time.
