Experience of Cardiologist Watching Hospital: Avoiding misfortune

Did not take medication

« At the time of the Cardiology Division, we had to experience patients ‘misfortunes, reflecting how much we are all inadmissible to the doctors’ recommendations and our own irresponsible behavior.

It provides cases where an infarction can be avoided by timely seeking doctors, taking prescribed medicines, following other recommendations.

« A patient celebrating the 70th anniversary soon, five years ago, had a myocardial infarction. Hiting for a new heart attack, a successful healing procedure. However, we have found no record of 2020 infarctions. He feels his body and well -being, and avoids chemical medicines.

Ended tragically

Another case of non -medication he describes ended tragically.

« Socially active, rational, educated patient in life, after a scheduled cardiovascular stenting, forgot to pick up the medicines prescribed by a doctor to reduce blood clotting. The consequences: after nine days clogged stents, new large -scale life -threatening myocardial infarction. Kubilius.

At the time of the Cardiology Department, we had to experience patients’ misfortunes, reflecting how much we are inadvertent to the recommendations provided by doctors.

The third patient, who has entered the seventies, has been brought after a workout at a sports club due to myocardial infarction due to a myocardial infarction.

« Without a visit to the doctors, not conducting, no medication, although he knew about increased cholesterol. Having deepened studies revealed that blood cholesterol was increased three times and studies have shown that heart disease has been undiagnosed for a long time. noted the professor.

After clinical death

Myocardial infarction is also much younger. R. Kubilis had to consult a patient who had not yet had a 40 -year -old patient who had fallen into the hands of the doctors after an acute myocardial infarction -induced clinical death. This young man was lucky – he was brought to Kaunas clinics after successful resuscitation.

« The patient was successfully restored in the cardiac blood vessel, implanted stent. Before the disease, he had increased and untreated cholesterol, smoked, overweight, and family with myocardial infarction in the family, » the cardiologist emphasized the variety of infarction.

In his post, the professor provided a photo of a blood clots weighing a few grams of just 1 cm long. According to R. Kubilius, such a clot is a common cause of death, although we could control its occurrence.

Healthy « vows »

The cardiologist also made conclusions of what we should learn from his painful cases.

« Homemakers need to control how the patient is taking medication, or has been bought by prescription.

The second point is at the age of 40. Individuals must check with their GP under the cardiovascular program. « It costs nothing to the person, » the doctor recalled.

Third, know your blood cholesterol and intolerant if it is increased. For non-cardiovascular disease, the poor LDL-C concentration should be less than 2.6 mmol/l, and those with heart disease are less than or equal to 1.4 mmol/l. If bad cholesterol is elevated, it is necessary to take steps to reduce it: change lifestyle, nutrition or, if your doctor prescribes, take medication.

Fourthly, regularly measure arterial blood pressure and to make it less than 130/80 mmHg.

A patient who entered the seventies due to myocardial infarction was brought after a workout at the sports club. No medication, although he knew about elevated cholesterol.

The professor also named the generalizing point: « To follow a healthy lifestyle vows, and when a doctor prescribes medication, they should take medication to the end of life with ischemic heart disease. »

And 5 kg gives the result

R. Kubilius added in a public recording that any type of tobacco and electronic cigarettes must be abandoned in order to achieve cardiovascular health.

Also to achieve normal body weight – it is important that the body mass index (BMI) does not exceed 25. BMI calculates the person’s body weight by dividing the height multiplied by square. For example, if a person is 169 cm tall and weighs 75 kg, his BMI contains 26.3. Consequently, such a person is a little overweight. If he lost 5 kg, his BMI would be 24.5 – weight would become normal.

« Body mass reduction 5 kg gives a huge boost to health, » said R. Kubilius.

Another recommendation made by the professor: « At least 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity. The World Health Organization emphasizes – every movement is important. »

« Let’s follow our sugar content, and those with diabetes are also glycated hemoglobin, » the cardiologist emphasized.

The amount of glycated hemoglobin shows how much a patient with diabetes is able to adjust the blood sugar.

« With the change in well -being, the emergence of new symptoms before, let’s seek medical attention, » said R. Kubilius.
