There are 550000 sudden cardiac deaths in China every year. Excessive fatigue is the main cause

The working state of high intensity, high pressure, high tension and continuous overwork is becoming an important inducement of sudden death of young people. Experts called for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and working style, popularizing cardiopulmonary resuscitation first aid skills, and minimizing the occurrence of such accidents.

According to the statistics of the National Cardiovascular Disease Center, the number of sudden cardiac death in China is as high as 550000 every year. If myocardial infarction is not treated in time, sudden death may occur. " From the patients received by the chest pain center, it is obvious that there are more young people now. Most of the previous patients with myocardial infarction were in their 60s and 70s. However, in recent years, many patients with myocardial infarction aged 20 to 30 have been treated. " Ma Genshan, director of cardiovascular medicine of Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University, introduced that the data of the chest pain center of the hospital show that young and middle-aged patients with myocardial infarction account for about one third of the total incidence of myocardial infarction in the chest pain center.

Ma Genshan explained that too busy and tense work will constantly stimulate people's sympathetic nerves. If you are always in a high tension state and the sympathetic nervous system is too excited for a long time, it will lead to excessive heart burden, rapid heart rate, and even arrhythmia. In the long run, if not adjusted in time, the heart will be damaged. The sudden death of some patients with sudden heart disease is due to continuous staying up late and emotional excitement, which induces neurological dysfunction, coronary artery spasm, and sudden cardiac ischemia. " Some young people who stay up late and work overtime will drink too much coffee to refresh themselves. If you are very sensitive to coffee, it is easy to stimulate the sympathetic nerve, plus excessive fatigue, it will also & lsquo; Encourage & rsquo; A heart attack. "

'just a few simple pressing actions can make patients with sudden cardiac death & lsquo; Bring the dead back to life & rsquo;. However, the vast majority of people do not understand first aid knowledge such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and are helpless in the face of emergencies. " Chen Lijuan, deputy director of the cardiovascular department of the hospital, called for further strengthening the skill training and popularization of public participation in first aid, incorporating the first aid knowledge training into the system and regulations, and allowing more people to rescue at the first scene. At the same time, AED (automatic external defibrillator) should be widely equipped in public places to teach the public to use it correctly and save lives at critical moments.
