Symptoms of gastrocardiac syndrome

Gastrocardiac syndrome is a disease of the cardiovascular system caused by stomach diseases. Most patients with gastrocardiac syndrome are young people. Because young people have great work pressure and a fast pace of life, they often skip meals because of work. The nutrients absorbed by the stomach cannot meet the needs of a day's workload, which leads to excessive work of the cardiovascular system and causes physical discomfort. The following editor will give you a detailed introduction to the symptoms of gastrocardiac syndrome.

Causes

The cause of this disease is unclear, but it may be related to autonomic nervous system dysfunction. All stomach diseases can cause it, but common causes include peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, gastric mucosal prolapse, gastric cancer and smoking. Esophageal lesions such as reflux esophagitis, esophageal or pyloric stenosis can also cause it.

Clinical manifestations

Due to the existence of gastric diseases, reflex discomfort or dull pain in the precordial area is caused. A few cases are similar to angina pectoris, with needle-like or squeezing pain, which may last for a long or short time, from a few seconds to several hours. However, the pain usually has no obvious cause. The use of coronary dilating drugs is ineffective, but the pain can be relieved by the use of antispasmodic and antacid drugs. May be accompanied by symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath. Cardiovascular symptoms disappear as the gastric disease is cured.

examine

1. Electrocardiogram examination: most of the results are normal, with a few showing ST-T changes, arrhythmia and arrhythmia.

2. Gastrointestinal endoscopy

3. X-ray examination

diagnosis

Cardiac examination usually revealed no abnormalities. Cardiovascular system symptoms appear on the basis of chronic gastritis, and this disease can be diagnosed after organic cardiovascular lesions are excluded. Sometimes gastric symptoms are not obvious in the medical history, and the patient only presents with cardiovascular symptoms, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis. Therefore, we should improve our understanding of this disease. If it is difficult to explain by cardiovascular disease, relevant gastrointestinal examinations should be carried out, such as X-ray, gastroscopy, etc. to confirm the diagnosis.

Differential Diagnosis

Pay attention to distinguish it from angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, and simple cardiovascular disease.

complication

The following diseases may occur concurrently: peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, gastric mucosal prolapse, gastric cancer, smoking, etc., esophageal lesions such as reflux esophagitis, esophageal or pyloric stenosis, etc.

treat

The treatment of this disease mainly focuses on the treatment of the primary disease of the stomach. Quit smoking and drinking. To relieve pain, antispasmodic and antacid drugs such as sodium bicarbonate, cholestatic inhibitors, H2 receptor blockers or proton pump inhibitors can be used.

prevention

The prevention of this disease is mainly the prevention of stomach diseases. You should pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and actively engage in physical exercise.
