How to recover from heart failure after myocardial infarction

If heart failure occurs after a myocardial infarction, it will be very harmful to the patient. Myocardial infarction patients themselves have a serious illness. If heart failure occurs at this time, in addition to regular treatment, good care and conditioning must be strengthened. The patient's blood pressure and some symptoms of the patient should be closely observed. If any discomfort occurs, medication should be taken in time and go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Symptoms of heart failure after myocardial infarction

1. Obvious fatigue and weakness, shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing during activities, similar to tracheitis and asthma. The initial symptoms of left heart failure are often frequent dry cough or chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially during activity and exertion.

2. You feel difficulty breathing when lying flat, and experience chest tightness and shortness of breath during sleep, and need to lie down or sit up with a high pillow.

3. Loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and diarrhea. This condition mainly occurs in right heart failure. Due to the obstruction of blood return from the right heart, the venous pressure of the systemic circulation increases, leading to congestion of the internal organs (gastrointestinal tract, liver, gallbladder, etc.), and symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, ischemic spasm of gastrointestinal smooth muscle may also cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. 4. Increased breathing rate and heart rate.

5. Dry cough or coughing up pink or white foamy sputum. I suddenly woke up at night, feeling short of breath, and the symptoms gradually eased after I was forced to sit up. This is because left heart failure leads to pulmonary congestion, bronchial mucosal edema, and increased secretions, which obstructs respiratory ventilation.

6. Heart rate increases and blood pressure rises. In particular, the diastolic blood pressure increases significantly, causing the pulse pressure to decrease. 7. Oliguria and edema. There is a relative increase in nocturia and ankle edema. Patients with heart failure have reduced total daily urine volume and a relatively increased amount of nocturia due to decreased cardiac output, systemic congestion, reduced effective circulating blood volume, and insufficient renal blood flow.

Preventing heart failure after myocardial infarction

Patients with myocardial infarction should take medication regularly under the guidance of a doctor. He believed that the basis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pathology is "deficiency", "congestion", "phlegm", etc., and proposed two major theories: "insufficient blood supply is the source of all diseases" and "treating the brain and heart together". He believed that only prevention and treatment from multiple targets can the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases be reduced. The heart and the brain are closely connected, and if one is missing the other, the other will be in trouble. The treatment regimen of Danhong injection combined with Naoxintong capsule has the effects of protecting vascular endothelium, stabilizing atherosclerotic plaques, improving microcirculation, regulating lipids, and anticoagulation.

Danhong Injection is made under the guidance of the theory of rising, falling, floating and sinking of traditional Chinese medicine, using authentic medicinal materials - Xinjiang Changji safflower and Shandong Linyi purple-flowered salvia miltiorrhiza, which are scientifically extracted and refined. The Chinese medicine classic "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Danshen invigorates blood circulation, breaks up blood, and produces new blood, while safflower invigorates blood circulation, moistens dryness, and promotes menstrual blood circulation." First of all, the two Chinese medicines used together can invigorate blood circulation, produce blood, and circulate blood. Activating blood circulation makes the blood flow smoothly, producing blood nourishes the blood, and circulating blood achieves the effect of unblocking blood vessels. The trinity solves the problem of insufficient blood supply in microcirculation. In recent years, a large number of clinical studies have shown that Danhong Injection is widely used in the treatment of insufficient blood supply to organs throughout the body (brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney, etc.), and is particularly effective in treating obstructive blood supply (cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction). Combined with Buchang Brain Heart Tong, it can effectively prevent vascular restenosis, re-blockage and complications of diabetes after coronary stent surgery.
