Is myocardial ischemia serious in young people?

In life, some people do not understand myocardial ischemia, and do not know its symptoms, harmfulness, etc. In medicine, myocardial ischemia refers to a series of sequelae caused by a decrease in blood perfusion to the heart, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the heart. The consequences are very serious. Moreover, the incidence of myocardial ischemia is increasing year by year not only among the elderly but also among young people, so we must take it seriously. Today I will give you some information about whether myocardial ischemia is serious in young people.

I wonder if you have noticed a phenomenon. Since the reform and opening up, people's living standards have been improving, and medical standards have been getting higher and higher, but the number of patients with cardiovascular diseases in our country is increasing. Why is this?

Myocardial ischemia refers to a pathological state in which the blood perfusion of the heart is reduced, resulting in reduced oxygen supply to the heart, abnormal myocardial energy metabolism, and inability to support the normal functioning of the heart. Since myocardial ischemia carries the risk of myocardial infarction and sudden death, it should be treated as soon as possible when it is discovered.

Myocardial ischemia can be caused by organic heart disease. It may be due to fatigue, work pressure, staying up late and insomnia, which cause coronary artery spasm and lead to myocardial ischemia. It is more common in young people and is caused by abnormal nerve regulation. Usually pay attention to relaxing your mood and adjusting your lifestyle and diet. General symptoms can be relieved. If it is caused by heart disease itself, treatment such as coronary artery dilation and myocardial nutrition is needed.

Palpitations and shortness of breath are not necessarily myocardial ischemia. Myocardial ischemia is diagnosed by electrocardiogram, but it is not a clinical diagnosis. In other words, myocardial ischemia is not a disease. It must be diagnosed after comprehensive consideration of symptoms and signs by clinicians. Clinicians should not make this diagnosis. The most important thing is to pay attention to rest, adjust your mood and diet.

If it is mild myocardial ischemia, there are generally no symptoms, and chest tightness may occasionally occur. However, your current situation cannot be explained by myocardial ischemia. It is recommended to further perform dynamic electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, atrial natriuretic peptide, chest CT and other related examinations to further clarify the cause and treat it accordingly.
