Treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD) folk remedies

The reasons for the emergence and

According to the modern classification of coronary heart disease are sudden death, angina and myocardial infarction. But in this section only will be considered in CHD angina manifestations.

This is a group of heart disease (especially coronary and coronary insufficiency), resulting from a violation of blood flow to the myocardium due to narrowing of the coronary (feed the heart) blood vessels (it is 3 large vessel, similar 3 prong crown, so they are called coronary, or coronary). Normally, the surface of the vessel is smooth and the blood flow to the heart is not difficult.

The term "ischemia" is derived from the combination of the Greek words Isho, which means "to delay, stop," and haima - "blood." In this state, in any portion of the heart is disturbed blood supply, there is a mismatch between the demand of the heart (myocardium) and the level of oxygen in cardiac blood flow and oxygen supplied.

This condition can be acute and chronic in nature, be temporary (reversible) and irreversible. As a result, long-term, irreversible changes in the area of ​​the myocardium of the heart cells are damaged and die. CHD appears when the narrowing of the coronary vessels is 50%. If the restriction close to 70 - 80%, expressed arise angina. In addition to atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, in the occurrence of coronary heart disease has a value of a number of factors - the state of the vessels and the amount of chemicals that are produced by the inner walls of blood vessels.

Atherosclerosis - a chronic disease in which the arteries occurs defeat. It is expressed that on the inner wall of the vessel deposited fats and calcium salts, muscle degeneration develops in connective tissue. As a result, the vessel wall is sealed, there is a narrowing of its lumen, the blood flow is disrupted. This causes unfavorable changes in organs, leading to various diseases.

Atherosclerosis - this is one of the most common modern diseases. The prevalence is high among his people in Europe, North America, and in the East, in Africa, South America, it is much rarer.

Men suffer more than women, and atherosclerosis in them there for about 10 years earlier. This difference is due to lifestyle, genetic features, hormonal factors.

Over the past decade significantly increased mortality from coronary heart disease, the cause of which was the atherosclerosis. The occurrence of atherosclerosis is caused by a combination of many factors, called risk factors. These include: hypertension, smoking, long-term emotional stress, especially the metabolism in the body.

The mechanism of atherosclerosis, damaging the inner shell of the vessel, in the injury platelets rush to settle there, are covered connective tissue followed by the addition of lipids.

Cholesterol - is one of several fat-like compounds found in blood and tissues. It is produced by liver cells. Cholesterol in the body exists in several forms. One of them - the high-density connections. This part is very important because it protects the body from atherosclerosis, takes cholesterol from body tissues and the walls of arteries, returns it to the liver for reuse or excretion from the body. Another part of cholesterol - low density compound. That is, it plays a role in plaque formation and the development of atherosclerosis. Gradually, the process progresses, cracks on plaques, ulcers, and on their surface by platelet thrombi formation. They close the lumen of the artery. thrombosis arises. The most serious complication of this - a blood clot separation.

Factors contributing to the emergence of coronary heart disease, there are more than 30. The main of them - this increase in blood pressure, increased cholesterol levels, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, frequent alcohol consumption, heredity (presence of diseases of the cardiovascular system in close relatives), belonging to the male sex, objective process of aging, fatigue, irrational mode of work and rest, poor diet, stress. Stress today is many times increases the risk of coronary heart disease. Under conditions of stress the human body produces the so-called stress hormones. In the process, it spent a large amount of vitamins and nutrients.

It is also very important to change the composition of blood - the acceleration of blood clotting that leads to platelet agglutination, and ultimately - to the formation of plaques and blood clots.

Clinical manifestations

Angina - the most important and most common manifestation of coronary heart disease. It is a common disease, the main symptom of which is chest pain crushing or compressive nature. The pain spread, gives the left arm, shoulder, shoulder blade, often in the neck and lower jaw. Angina may manifest as chest discomfort - burning, heaviness, fullness. A characteristic symptom is the appearance of angina chest pain at the exit of the patient from a warm room to the cold. Often the deterioration observed in the autumn and winter, when the air pressure changes. The pain occurs during exercise (in the initial stage of the disease - the so-called angina) and stops at rest or after taking nitroglycerin. When there is the excitement of pain due to physical stress. Seizures may occur at night pain, post-prandial bloating and at a high position of the diaphragm. Duration angina almost always greater than 1 minute and less than 15 minutes. Its duration also depends on the patient's behavior. If you stop the exercise and take nitroglycerin, an attack will be shorter and less intense.

One of the symptoms of angina is that the pain is getting worse in the supine position, and decreases when the patient is sitting or standing. This is because in the supine position is enhanced inflow of venous blood to the heart and myocardium require more oxygen. The strength of the attack is different. At this time, the pulse is usually a slow, rhythmic, but sometimes it can be accelerated (tachycardia). It can also raise blood pressure. The attacks may be rare (once a week or less) can not be repeated a few months or, on the contrary, become more frequent and prolonged.

Diagnostics

In the diagnosis of coronary artery disease is very important questioning of the patient, to determine the causes of the disease, electrocardiographic examination, which is carried out repeatedly, tests with dosed physical load (bicycle ergometry), drug samples.

One of the modern methods conducted in cardiological hospitals, a radiographic study of heart vessels, ie. E. The introduction of the blood substance through which is possible to see the heart and major blood vessels and determine the nature, the place of destruction, the prevalence of the process. This method is called "coronary angiography".

Traditional treatment for coronary heart disease

Treatment of coronary heart disease - is a comprehensive program.

It includes traditional therapy methods, appointed physicians and cardiologists, and non-traditional methods, traditional medicine.

Mandatory treatment component - it is a struggle with risk factors. It is necessary to normalize the way of life of the patient, eliminate physical inactivity, eliminate bad habits, stick to a certain diet, try to avoid unrest and emotional overload.

nutritional care

The list of products required by patients with this disease, must include raisins, honey, nuts of all kinds, raw pumpkin, pumpkin seeds, seaweed, cheese, strawberries, peas, soybeans, soybean oil and flour, eggplant, lemon and orange zest, rosehips in the form of a drink, gooseberry, cranberry. The content of proteins, fats and carbohydrates should be the ratio of 1: 1: 4.

When overweight is important to reduce calorie intake. It is necessary to eliminate from the diet fatty meats (especially lamb and pork), hard margarine, butter and replace it with vegetable, t. E. Must be reduced to avoid foods content of saturated fatty acids, which are rich in animal fats that contribute to the formation of cholesterol, and increase amount of vegetable fats. In addition, the need to provide the body with an increased amount of vitamins and minerals.

Drug therapy includes two main groups of drugs. This is, firstly, nitroglycerine and its derivatives longer action (they relieve spasm and dilate the coronary vessels, thereby facilitating access of blood and oxygen to the heart). The other group - are drugs that improve blood (in this case, reduce clotting and prevent blood clots). The simplest of these is the drug aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), assigned to a specific pattern. In addition, in some cases the recommended drugs reduce the formation of cholesterol in blood and inhibiting its absorption in the intestine. Also used drugs, accelerating the metabolism and excretion of lipids from the body.

Very useful is the administration of vitamin E, and F. A more expedient combination of ascorbic acid.

It must be remembered that all the pharmacologic agents must appoint a physician. Self-medication by these means is not allowed.

In addition to these funds, the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with coronary artery disease are important physical training.

When the initial manifestations of the disease are shown running, swimming, skiing, biking, t. E. Exercise such as cycling.

They should be carried out during periods of exacerbation of the disease. In more severe forms of coronary artery disease exercise recommended in the form of complexes of medical gymnastics. Complex physical therapist should choose exercise therapy doctor, taking into account the patient's condition. Classes are held Curing exercising instructor group method in a hospital or clinic under the supervision of a physician. It is necessary to pulse measurement before, during and after school. Typically, these systems are included in the initial exercise standing, sitting (for patients older than 50 years), walking, exercises for the upper and lower extremities with gymnastic stick, breathing exercises and stretching. Exercises are performed in slow motion, slowly, with a small amplitude movements. In self-massage can be used as a limb "unloading" of the heart. This is done to facilitate the outflow of blood from the periphery to the center. The most simple massage techniques: stroking, rubbing, kneading.

После определенного курса лечебной физкультуры в ЛПУ пациент может самостоятельно выполнять эти упражнения дома.

При лечении больных с ИБС нельзя забывать об использовании физических факторов (методов аппаратной физиотерапии). Вид физиотерапевтического лечения подбирается врачом-физиотерапевтом.

При отсутствии противопоказаний (таких как прогрессирующая стенокардия, стойкий болевой синдром, стенокардия покоя, повышение артериального давления, наличие аритмий) используются сеансы бальнеотерапии – углекислые, радоновые, хлоридные и йодобромные лечебные ванны. У больных с более выраженной стенокардией эти воздействия применяются щадяще – в виде четырехкамерных ванн. Хороший успокаивающий эффект дают «электросон», гальванический воротник, электрофорез обезболивающих и седативных средств.

При отсутствии противопоказаний можно применять сочетания лечебных ванн и аппаратной физиотерапии. В специализированных кардиологических клиниках и отделениях больниц широко применяется метод лазеротерапии различными видами лазерного излучения.
