Influenza and is closely related to a heart attack

January 2, 2001 U.S. Scientists found who have had influenza virus vaccine against heart disease patients, their second chance of a heart attack significantly reduced.

From the U.S. University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center researchers selected from 1997 to 1998 season, 218 cases of pandemic influenza patients with coronary heart disease as the research object, will be one of those heart attack or unstable angina with the vaccination history and stable condition vaccination history of the comparison, results showed that influenza vaccination and not the heart disease compared to those against the recurrence of heart disease or unstable angina to reduce the incidence of 2 / 3.

The researchers pointed out that at present still unable to determine whether influenza virus infection in a heart attack with the inevitable link between. Because it can not be ruled out the role of other factors, such as who will pay more attention to vaccination, such as self-care.

The researchers cited only nine kinds of reasons that may be relevant, including influenza caused by accelerated vascular inflammation in coronary lipid deposition, physical decline heavier psychological burden.

But the researchers emphasized that in animal experiments, has confirmed that influenza viruses can change over a high-density lipoprotein activity, resulting in the formation of coronary plaque.

Middle-aged children longevity period a lower risk of heart disease

Past research has shown that offspring of centenarians and the average life expectancy of our compatriots is usually longer, but also heart disease, high blood pressure and a lower risk of diabetes, age at onset of late. Recently by the Boston University Faculty of Medicine released a study pointed out that the parents in the life of the individual over the age of 85 middle-aged when the risk of heart disease is distinctly lower. Researchers from the Framingham Heart Study, a selected 1697 people, ask them into the group of parents who selected Framingham study, life expectancy at 85 years of age or in January 2005 before the death. From 1971 to 1975, all income groups are in the age of 30 years of age (average age was 40 years old). Among them, the parents are in life expectancy over the age of 85 accounted for 11% (Group 1); parents in the life of one person over the age of 85 accounted for 47% (Group 2); their parents were dead before the age of 85 accounted for 42% (Group 3 ). In addition to record level of education and smoking habits, but also detected in blood pressure, blood cholesterol, body mass index and Framingham risk scores (mainly used to evaluate the occurrence of cardiovascular disease risk) and so on. To 1983 ~ 1989, a total of 1319 people received a second assessment. The results showed that, Framingham scored the worst in the Group 3, Group 1 the best. Group 1 has the ideal blood pressure and total cholesterol / HDL ratio, Framingham risk scores in patients with the highest proportion of the lowest. The relevance of body mass index is not clear, but the group 1 in at least obese. The researchers pointed out that the shorter life expectancy of their parents, compared to middle-aged parents longevity when a lower risk of heart disease. The main reason leading to this phenomenon may be related with the gene to better understand and master the genetic modification of cardiovascular risk factors will ultimately contribute to disease prevention and treatment.

Often hostile to men prone to heart disease

Often hostile to or in frustration, and will damage the immune system of men and their susceptibility to heart disease. This will increase the number of negative emotions for men suffering from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure risk.
Angry men prone body complement C3 were increased, it is a chronic inflammation-related protein in the immune system.

Hostility, depression, anger, will make other people in a different manner

World, they are usually in the world confrontation. "Research collaborator Edward middot; Suarez said," This way of life often lead to greater pressure, and cause changes in bodily functions and lead to disease. "The level of serum C3 increase will lead to a number of chronic diseases, such as heart disease or diabetes.

Those in the psychological tests showed high levels of hostility, symptoms of depression or anger of men, the psychological test scores higher level of serum C3 also high.

Heart disease experts have pointed out that, although the study did not deal with psychological treatment, but to find ways to reduce the hostility, by no means a bad thing!

Drink immediately wash easily cause heart disease

Why say a bath immediately after drinking it easy to cause heart disease? This is because:

Take a bath when the body to sweat, blood alcohol concentration is relatively higher, coupled with the hot water to promote blood circulation, the expansion of blood vessels, speed up the pulse beat, which is often caused by decreased blood pressure, blood viscosity increased, causing a heart attack or stroke.

Long-term increase in cholesterol-induced heart pressure

Grateful to alleviate depression

Whether it is a partner for life or the work or achievements, and some people even feel like as long as they are alive Ping'an their life for what is eternally grateful, this feeling can guarantee the normal functioning of the body and to promote the immune system, and body systems working correctly. United States Institute of哈特麦斯Rowling middot;麦克拉提studied the emotional health and physical health of the relationship between, she found a similar love, gratitude and to meet such a sentiment, it will stimulate the posterior lobe of the pituitary hormone secretion, It will relax the nervous system, alleviate depression, the body of the oxygen content of the various organizations will also increase significantly, as has been the same rehabilitation treatment. Electrocardiogram showed that in gratitude, the brain and heart are synchronized current activities, so that the relevant organs of the operation more effective.

Easy to feel tired a long-term pressure

A row at work, under the pressure of life, there will be chronic suppression of the phenomenon. Stanford University biological sciences professor Robert middot; pressure Sapolsky is an expert, which he described as: "the human body of long-term high cortisol levels of the defense system will make you no longer sensitive, memory and accuracy have declined, warning of the invasion were no longer sensitive, easier to feel tired, depressed people will become frustrated, reproductive ability. "If all the year round in the chronic suppression, the blood glucose and fatty acids are increased risk of diabetes and heart disease risk of natural will be larger. University of London, the latest research also shows that the pressure will make the human body increased cholesterol levels, also induced cardiovascular disease.

Laugh to relax the body's muscle tension

California State University scientists found that laugh will relax the body's muscle tension, reducing stress-induced hormone secretion and increase the oxygen content in the blood. University of Maryland Medical Center cardiovascular experts also confirmed that the laughter of people can unload unwanted pressure, protect blood vessel wall, thus reducing the risk of a heart attack. When people laugh, there is a need to mobilize the body more than 4 100 muscles, which can effectively heat consumption. The researchers estimate that laughing 100 times the equivalent of rowing for 10 minutes and 15 minutes cycling step aerobic exercise.

Anger, impatience, irritability, resentment damage to health

When people angry, it is difficult to say how effective the system anger is vent your anger, or try to suppress the anger, because it has adverse effects in two ways. Studies have shown that the authority figures will not be honored for their own things loudly, while the female spouse if the confrontation with their own repressed anger, which died of a heart attack, stroke or cancer risk is two times higher. Anger at the time of the outbreak only a few minutes, but because of a sudden and drastic increase adrenaline levels, high blood pressure, heart rate to accelerate to more than 50-year-old people, a heart attack or stroke will be higher than 5 times odds.

In addition some of the anger was not obvious symptoms such as impatience, irritability, resentment, etc., will also damage your health, because they state with anxiety, depression, and will inhibit the immune system in the state and more easily transmitted diseases. When people are depressed, pessimistic and indifferent state, the body's serotonin and dopamine are low, and these two substances in the brain feel good neurotransmitters, which is why 45 percent of patients have a tendency to be depressed all sorts of reasons for pain discomfort. Depression with poor sleep, fatigue and sexual dysfunction related.

Emotional release而哭bad mood

When you cry, when indeed the release of the body's bad mood. U.S. biochemist William middot;弗利博士will而哭emotion and tears onion negative熏得done a comparison and found that when estrogen secretion而哭more hormones and neurotransmitters, may lead to low blood pressure, pulse slow sync and other brain wave patterns, therefore concluded that estrogen而哭help suppress the body to remove the chemical composition, if always忍住不哭, then people will unnecessary tension in the body more vulnerable to anxiety such as the impact of negative emotions, including weakened immunity, memory deterioration and weaker such as the ability to digest.

The United States to use the microwave to treat heart disease.

According to overseas media reports, the United States St. Luke's Medical Center, doctors have recently succeeded in a 76-year-old Audrey old woman suffering from atrial fibrillation in the heart of the purposes of microwave surgery. This is the first application of this new method to treat heart disease.

Microwave surgery is used microwave equipment issued to the beating heart of microwave radiation on the heart muscle caused by a wound, so that the heart stops tremor. To do this kind of surgery, the patients do not have to temporarily stop the heart beating, do not have to connect the blood circulation in heart-lung machine for the cycle, it can reduce the risk of surgery.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved in early June of this new therapy. The surgical instruments used in the microwave, the United States, California AFX manufactured.

Past the elimination of atrial fibrillation surgery is usually carried out by using electric shocks.

The treatment of hypertensive heart disease

For patients who have high blood pressure, treatment should be given to control blood pressure in the normal range. Because of the high and low blood pressure varies from person to person, so to learn more about their song best suited to high blood pressure, may consult their doctors. In addition, at least every two weeks blood pressure more than once, as many blood pressure, according to the level of regulation of blood pressure drug.
Cardiac hypertrophy and heart arrhythmia are hypertension
The first step in heart disease. Such as high blood pressure patients, minor activities are palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain should be immediately accepted the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. High blood pressure and heart disease is not the time to completely cure the disease, so treatment must have the intention of a lifetime. In addition to blood pressure checks, there is a need for electrocardiograms, chest X-ray photos, such as urine routine examination.
In addition to blood pressure lowering drugs, the need for less intake of salt, cardiac dysfunction may be given diuretics and cardiotonic.
