Mental confusion may be myocardial ischemia

Mental confusion may be myocardial ischemia

Cardiovascular Center in Beijing friendship hospital physician Liang Jinrui

Women of he aged 37 last evening I felt dismayed, went to the hospital for ECG examination, prompting her myocardial ischemia, cardiac ultrasonography examination found no problems. Doctors said this situation without taking medicine. He also was a bit worried, myocardial ischemia is really not serious?

Reduced blood perfusion of myocardial ischemia is the heart, cardiac oxygen reduced, abnormal myocardial energy metabolism, cannot support a pathological state of heart function. Myocardial ischemia caused by the most important, the most common cause is coronary artery stenosis, and is the main cause of atherosclerosis of coronary artery stenosis, caused by coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is the common and often said of the coronary heart disease. In addition, reduced blood pressure, the aortic valve disease, coronary artery spasm, blood viscosity and cardiac disease in itself, can also lead to reduced blood supply of the heart. There is also a condition, cardiac blood supply is not reduced, but the heart oxygen demand has increased, such as heat, movement, such as anemia, which is a relative of myocardial ischemia.

Greetings ladies myocardial ischemic ECG prompted, but cardiac ultrasonography diagnostic problems, speculation is likely to be ST-T of ECG waveform changes due to a heart beating faster. If there is no smoking, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, family history of premature coronary heart disease, organic heart disease is unlikely, consider the functional changes, bad sympathetic excitement, such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea, stress, fatigue, anaemia, should further examine, clear diagnosis. In addition, you should avoid stimulating drinks such as coffee, Cola, tea drinking. See the family health report March 31, 2009, of the original edition of "family doctor"
