Heart failure prevention and control should be fully managed

as winter approaches, the high incidence of cardiovascular disease will follow. Heart failure is the end stage of all kinds of heart disease, the prevalence of heart failure in adults in China is as high as 1.3%, at least 13 million heart failure patients, is one of the largest groups of heart failure patients in the world.
November 26 is the "National Heart Failure Day", Beijing Hospital, deputy director of the Department of Cardiology, China Medical Education Association, drug clinical trial research standard evaluation branch director
Wang Fang, said: "Not only heart failure patients should be extra careful in the winter, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes and other high-risk groups of heart failure, in addition to the need to pay attention to life, diet, exercise and mood, but also to understand the scientific use of drugs, so that heart failure and other cardiovascular disease management is comprehensive and efficient." Wang Fang said,
The quality of life of patients with poor heart failure control is often very poor, because of breathing difficulties, ankle swelling, fatigue and other symptoms, patients suffer from sleep is not good, can not move, can not climb the building, can not do housework pain." Heart failure is also the most important cause of hospitalization, long-term repeated hospitalization to patients and their families have brought a great financial burden and psychological burden. Heart failure mortality is higher, with studies showing that about 50% of heart failure patients die five years after diagnosis.
despite the dangers of heart failure, public awareness of heart failure disorders is not comprehensive and is often mistaken for "minor problems" such as aging or colds, which can lead to greater difficulties in treatment. Therefore, if you find breathing difficulties, loss of appetite, puffiness, fatigue, decreased motor ability, reduced urine volume, increased urine volume at night, dizziness, anxiety, emotional stress and other symptoms, should be promptly to the regular hospital for medical treatment.
For the treatment of confirmed heart failure patients, Wang Fang believes that heart failure drugs are best both the following advantages: First, can curb myocardial injury, improve heart function, second, can significantly reduce the risk of death and hospitalization, third, the drug composition is safe and easy to absorb, no drug cross-reaction, fourth, it is best to high-quality medical insurance reimbursement drugs, drug economy maximization, reduce the burden of disease.
Taking into account the above four principles of drug selection, Director Wang Fang recommended: "For the treatment of heart failure is currently commonly used to effectively improve heart function of innovative drugs, such as angiotensin-like pneumorrotein inhibitor (ARNI) can be based on standardized treatment of heart failure, reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization in patients with heart failure, long-term use can also effectively reverse heart reconstruction." In addition, with the progress of science and technology, some innovative drugs special crystal structure will also have certain advantages, can accelerate the absorption of drugs in the body, and reduce adverse reactions and reduce drug interaction.
Wang Fang reminded that the daily medication for heart failure should pay attention to: First, can use lists, medicine boxes and other auxiliary reminders to help patients take the drug on time every day;
In addition to scientific and rational drug use, Wang Fang also stressed that coronary heart disease, hypertension, heart valve disease, diabetes and other chronic diseases are high-risk groups of heart failure, these diseases can cause heart failure in the later stages. Hypertension is the main cause of heart failure, blood pressure control is very important for patients with heart failure, adhere to medication to control blood pressure is a good protection for heart failure patients, but also actively treat diabetes, effective management of chronic kidney disease.
In addition, the prevention of cold is also very important, heart failure patients as little as possible to go out, more rest, avoid people more air non-circulating places, such as fever cough and other cold signs should go to the hospital as soon as possible to actively treat. Cold winter season is the season when heart failure is prone to acute attacks, patients should pay more attention to scientific disease management: to maintain a relatively stable mood, a comfortable mood, adequate sleep, to avoid overwork, quit smoking and drinking. Winter out to pay attention to keep warm, especially from high temperature to low temperature places should pay more attention to keep warm, maintain a good lifestyle, diet, living and habits, labor combination, adhere to moderate exercise.
