A young woman's heart stopped beating twice a week because of hyperthyroidism

Morning news: the heart is like the house we live in The blood vessels are like the water pipes There are many "wires" that need to be seen under the microscope to transmit bioelectricity and generate the heartbeat under the combined effect of various factors Yesterday, in the patient education special session of the 90th anniversary of Hangzhou first hospital, Professor Ling Feng, deputy director of Cardiology Department of the hospital, vividly introduced the knowledge about heart and heartbeat to the patients "We usually say that the rhythm of the heart includes the speed and rhythm of the heart beat." Professor Ling said From the point of view of speed, the industry believes that 60-100 beats per minute belong to the normal range In addition, too fast or too slow heartbeat is not a good thing From the rhythm of the heartbeat, it's better to beat evenly, fast and slow, and other irregular beats need to be noticed In most people's concept, when it comes to arrhythmia, it will be associated with chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and chronic lung disease In fact, this situation is very common among the elderly But in young people, the most common cause of arrhythmia is congenital cardiomyopathy or thyroid dysfunction Just last week, Professor Ling just sent out a patient who had two cardiac arrest in a week It was a young woman in her 30s, a full-time housewife, who always felt flustered and went to the local hospital in Huzhou for treatment On the night of her admission, her heart suddenly stopped beating The doctor helped her with CPR and tracheal intubation and finally saved her life On the third day of hospitalization, cardiac arrest reappeared Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the doctor on duty, she was pulled back from the ghost gate again As soon as her vital signs became stable, she was transferred to a hospital in Hangzhou "The detailed examination of the patient's admission showed that the heart rate was very fast, with the appearance of 120-130 times per minute, and the problem of hyperthyroidism was also detected." Professor Ling said that thyroxine secreted by thyroid gland can promote heart beating, so in general, the heart rate of patients with hyperthyroidism is too fast, while that of patients with hypothyroidism is slower Sure enough, after the treatment of improving thyroid function, the patient's heart rate slowly returned to normal Similar situations are more common among young people People with related problems need more than one heart and eye of both the clinician and the patient In addition, the frequency of sudden death is increasing Professor Ling said that most of the sudden deaths are caused by arrhythmias At this time, if someone around knows CPR and other related emergency measures, many lives can be saved Take Professor Ling's young female patient, who stops beating twice a week If it happens at home or outside, the consequences are unimaginable Professor Ling hopes that young people can learn the skill of good pulmonary resuscitation If there is a need in schools, units or communities, they can contact a hospital in the city, and they will arrange medical staff for on-site guidance.
