Precautions for thrombotic diseases in the elderly

Many people may not understand the precautions for thrombotic diseases in the elderly. This is understandable because most people rarely encounter this disease, so they certainly don’t know the precautions for thrombotic diseases in the elderly. However, for some researchers or treatment personnel engaged in this field, it is usually necessary to study this aspect very thoroughly. Only in this way can thrombotic diseases in the elderly be better treated.

When it comes to thrombotic diseases in the elderly, many people may not know that in fact, thrombotic diseases in the elderly are very similar to thrombotic diseases in ordinary people. Except for differences in physical fitness, there are no differences in other aspects. Therefore, it is actually not very difficult to understand the precautions for thrombotic diseases in the elderly. Below we will introduce in detail the precautions for thrombotic diseases in the elderly.

The formation of blood clots in the heart and/or blood vessel cavity is called thrombosis. The pathological phenomenon of thrombosis in clinical practice is called thrombotic disease. Type: According to the site of thrombus formation, it can be divided into arterial thrombotic diseases (coronary heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease and diabetes, etc.). There are two types of venous thrombotic diseases: pulmonary infarction and deep vein thrombosis.

The elderly suffer from arteriosclerosis, which causes narrowing of the blood vessels, affects blood supply to the heart and brain and is prone to thrombotic diseases.

Guidance:

Therefore, we should prevent and treat arteriosclerosis and control blood pressure in our daily life. We can take Buchang Naoxintong or Wufuxinnaoqing, etc. In normal times, you can choose some blood-activating medicines according to your needs, such as Danshen tablets, Thromboxanthin, etc. And pay attention to quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, drinking plenty of water, and exercising more. Eat a balanced diet. Go to bed early and get up early, and live a regular life.

Dietary precautions

Green leafy vegetables high in sodium, tobacco, alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and spicy foods. All overly salty foods and pickled products, clams, shrimps, and preserved eggs.

Cerebral thrombosis is a common disease among the elderly. Its occurrence is not only related to diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis, but also closely related to the increased blood viscosity in the elderly. The higher the blood viscosity of the elderly, the more likely they are to develop cerebral thrombosis. Blood flows in human blood vessels like river water. The faster the flow rate, the less sediment; conversely, the slower the flow rate, the more sediment. Increased blood viscosity will inevitably lead to a slower blood flow rate. Substances such as platelets, cholesterol, fibrin, etc. in the blood will precipitate on the blood vessel walls. Over time, the precipitates will accumulate more and more. If combined with other diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis, it will lead to cerebral thrombosis. Human blood viscosity changes continuously throughout the day, and there is a certain pattern: blood viscosity is highest between 4 and 8 in the morning, then gradually decreases, reaching the lowest point in the early morning, and then gradually rises again, reaching the peak again in the morning. This regular fluctuation is more prominent in the elderly. In addition, cerebral thrombosis often occurs in the morning or mid-morning, indicating that there is a certain relationship between increased blood viscosity and the occurrence of cerebral thrombosis. Developing the habit of drinking water before going to bed can reduce blood viscosity, maintain smooth blood flow, and prevent the formation of cerebral thrombosis to a certain extent.

Therefore, through the above article’s detailed introduction to the precautions for thrombotic diseases in the elderly, I believe that most people now have a certain degree of understanding of the precautions for thrombotic diseases in the elderly. We can also discover one thing in our understanding, that is, there are many precautions for thrombotic diseases in the elderly, which are generally based on the premise of reducing blood viscosity.
