Who is prone to aortic dissection? And how to prevent it?

This National Day holiday

The temperature is like riding a roller coaster

From the very beginning of nearly 40 ° C

To these days around 14 ° C

Temperatures plummet

Causes a high incidence of fatal and dangerous diseases – aortic dissection

Within the National Day 6-day holiday

Eleven patients with aortic dissection were treated

Who is prone to aortic dissection?

And how to prevent it?

Jin Min, chief physician of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, introduced that generally speaking, there are three layers of blood vessels, the innermost layer is called the inner membrane, when the inner membrane is ruptured, the blood will gush into the middle of the blood vessels, at this time it will separate the three layers of the aorta to form a true cavity and a false cavity
.

"At this time, the blood has been impacting the bad blood vessels, and when the blood vessels are further ruptured, it will change from a dissectioned state to a completely ruptured state, and then the patient will have a large number of hemorrhagic shock or even death
.
" Jin Min said
.

According to the different factors such as the site of dissection, it is divided into A, B and non-A and non-B
.
Among them, patients with A-type aortic dissection have a mortality rate of up to 50%
within 48 hours.
Once the dissection is ruptured, the patient may
die of sudden death at any time.

In the past 6 days of the National Day holiday, the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital has treated a total of 11 patients with aortic dissection, including 8 patients of type A and 3 of
type B.

"Most patients are due to high blood pressure induced blood vessel rupture, the formation of dissection, of course, there are a few patients are not due to this reason, may be due to long-term high fat, or smoking, resulting in vascular endothelial damage
.
"

Doctors say that more than 70% of acute aortic dissection is closely related to
high blood pressure.
Rapid changes in temperature can easily lead to an increase in blood pressure and increase the likelihood of
blood vessel rupture.

"The most common are sudden, unrelieved severe chest pain, some people may have back pain or chest tightness, and some patients have abdominal pain
.
" Jin Min reminded the public to do a good job of blood pressure monitoring to ensure that blood pressure is maintained in a relatively normal range, and secondly, the drug should be used well, and in the case of possible changes in blood pressure, it is necessary to adjust the medication
in time.

In recent years, patients with aortic dissection in China have also become increasingly young.

Doctors remind young people to develop good eating habits, control weight, maintain a regular life schedule, and strengthen daily exercise, which is very important
for preventing acute aortic dissection.
