aortic dissection has rapid onset, rapid progress, and high fatality rate
Chen Xiaodong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, introduced that Huang Hongsheng’s disease is medically called aortic dissection, which is one A serious cardiovascular emergency. Aortic dissection is caused by the tearing of the aortic intima, the blood in the cavity enters the aortic media from the rupture of the intima, and the formation of a dissecting hematoma, which extends and peels along the aortic wall to the surrounding, resulting in serious two lumens. Cardiovascular emergency, critical, severe disease. Aortic dissection has a rapid onset and rapid progress. It is a very dangerous disease with a very high mortality rate. If they are not rescued in time, about one-fourth of the patients will die within 24 hours, and about half of the patients will die within a week of onset. Hypertension is one of its main pathogenic factors. Hypertension is one of the most important external causes of aortic dissection. More than two-thirds of patients with aortic dissection have hypertension. Some people can control their blood pressure normally, but a sudden increase in blood pressure due to overwork and emotional excitement may induce aortic dissection. In addition, people with Marfan’s syndrome should be especially careful. This is a congenital genetic disease. Patients often have a special body shape. They are tall and slender, with long and thin fingers. Marfan syndrome is often caused by athletes. Syndrome induces fatal cases of aortic dissection. In addition, people with abnormal vascular wall development, older than 65 years old, people with aortic valve disease, and smokers are also prone to the disease.
When you feel severe chest pain, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
The typical manifestation of acute aortic dissection is sudden severe avulsion chest pain. Common symptoms also include back pain, abdominal pain, interscapular laceration pain, syncope, and general body enlargement. Sweat, unable to move the feet, difficulty breathing, hemoptysis, etc. When you have the above symptoms, you should go to the hospital immediately, diagnose as soon as possible, and operate as soon as possible. There may be a chance of life-saving, because the fatality rate of aortic dissection increases at a rate of 1% per hour. The longer the time, the higher the mortality rate. high.
3 keys to prevent and treat aortic dissection
1. Control blood pressure
Once hypertension is discovered and diagnosed, it must be actively treated to keep blood pressure within the normal range. In life, avoid factors such as being too emotional, staying up late, and overwork that may cause a sudden increase in blood pressure.
2. Prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis
As modern people adjust their diet and reduce physical activity, arteriosclerosis is gradually increasing and appears to be getting older. You should actively improve your lifestyle, control calorie intake, eat more fruits and vegetables, and increase exercise.
3. Pay attention to physical examination
It is recommended that people with high blood pressure, often staying up late, high psychological pressure, long-term smoking alcohol addiction should pay attention to ultrasound, chest X-ray examination during physical examination, if any clues are found, CT scan is required to clarify the disease .
