What is the cause of myocardial ischemia in pregnant women?

Myocardial ischemia is a common problem in pregnant women, but because it will also affect the health of the baby during pregnancy, you should focus on understanding the cause and scientific conditioning. You should also pay attention to rest and never take medication blindly, because any reason may cause myocardial ischemia.

1. Myocardial ischemia is a common disease in life , and most people are familiar with it. This disease mainly refers to a pathological state in which the blood perfusion of the heart is reduced, resulting in reduced oxygen supply to the heart, abnormal heart metabolism, and inability to complete the heart's work. The blood supply to the heart is not constant, but fluctuates all the time. However, this fluctuation is regulated by the body itself, which keeps the supply and demand of blood relatively constant and ensures the normal functioning of the heart. If myocardial ischemia is caused by any reason, and the body's regulation cannot meet the heart's working needs, this constitutes true myocardial ischemia, and the same is true for myocardial ischemia in pregnant women.

2. When a pregnant woman is pregnant , her blood will undergo great changes. The heart cannot bear the load all at once, which will lead to myocardial ischemia. In severe cases, it will cause pregnancy-induced heart disease. Pay attention to rest and exercise moderately. There is no effect after childbirth. However, if the pregnant woman's myocardial ischemia is severe, she should consider going to the hospital for treatment. Do not take medicine blindly on your own to avoid affecting the fetus and causing accidents.

3. At the same time, no matter under what circumstances myocardial ischemia is induced , when the heart cannot compensate, pregnant women will have symptoms of palpitations, shortness of breath, and lower limb edema. In severe cases, it may even endanger the lives of mother and child. Pregnant women should go to a larger comprehensive hospital to find out the cause of myocardial ischemia, determine the state of heart function, evaluate whether they can withstand the pregnancy, and decide whether to continue the pregnancy. It should not be delayed until the middle or late stages of pregnancy, as this will put some pregnant women whose heart function is not suitable for pregnancy at risk of unavoidable life-threatening dangers. Therefore, every woman of childbearing age should pay attention to pre-pregnancy and pregnancy checkups, identify problems and deal with them in a timely manner.

4. In life, you must always pay attention to the physical condition of pregnant women. If there are abnormal conditions such as myocardial ischemia, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. You must also understand the causes of myocardial ischemia in pregnant women and take preventive measures in advance. Although myocardial ischemia is very harmful to pregnant women, after the disease occurs, you must not blindly take medicine. You must understand the cause of the disease, treat it based on syndrome differentiation, and seek the best treatment plan.
