    According to Changsha Politics and Law Channel, a 34-year-old man died suddenly in a gym in Changsha, Hunan. The family members said that checking the chat records found that he had called for help in the group of the fitness club before the incident. ①In recent years, it is common to hear of young people passing away unexpectedly while in the gym, on the court, or while running outdoors. While making people feel regretful, one can't help but wonder why a young man who looks healthy suddenly dies suddenly?


    some people may just


    "looks healthy"


    Some people may just "look healthy." Many young and middle-aged people who died suddenly were actually suffering from coronary heart disease, but they usually had no symptoms and did not undergo targeted examinations. Then add overwork, stress stimulation, etc., eventually leading to the tragedy of sudden cardiac death. Zhang Guangrong, director of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Fifth Hospital of Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, posted on his hospital platform on June 17 that the causes of sudden death are complicated, but most of them are related to cardiovascular diseases. ②According to the data published in the "China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2019", it is estimated that 544,000 cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) will occur in my country every year, and about every minute, one person dies suddenly and falls down. ③Dr. Zhang Guangrong said that overall, young people are indeed healthier, and the number of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases is not high. However, the analysis of data of each age group shows that in the past two decades, the proportion of deaths among young people has become more obvious growth of. Such changes are closely related to our various active or passive unhealthy living habits.


    Beware of those hiding around


    Cause of sudden death


    What factors make people more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease? Who does sudden death prefer? Dr. Zhang Guangrong said that these factors related to sudden death must be clear. 1. Bad habits are a dangerous cause of sudden death


    smoking


    drink alcohol


    obesity


    unhealthy diet


    Sedentary


    2. Metabolism-related diseases are the basis of sudden death


    Increased blood pressure (hypertension)


    high blood sugar (diabetes)


    high blood fats (hyperlipidemia)


    Many common chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure and high blood sugar, are important risk factors for coronary heart disease and stroke. And these diseases are not only more and more, but also younger and younger. 3. Excessive fatigue makes sudden death a step closer Long-term lack of sleep will not only increase sudden death caused by cardiovascular disease, but also increase the risk of accidents due to reduced cognitive function.


    before sudden cardiac death


    What performance?


    Wang Xiaoqun, deputy chief physician of the Cardiology Department of Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, posted on his hospital official account in 2023 that there are usually no symptoms before sudden cardiac death. However, if the following situations occur, you need to pay attention and seek medical attention immediately: 1. Unexplained syncope: especially when it occurs during activities or stress, it often indicates a heart problem. 2. Chest pain, chest tightness, and chest discomfort: especially during activities, fatigue, and exertion. 3. Shortness of breath or suffocation: especially during activities, fatigue, and exertion. 4. Heart palpitations: may be accompanied by sweating, dizziness, nausea, etc., especially related to activities, fatigue, and exertion. 5. Heart murmur during physical examination. 6. Family history of hereditary heart disease or sudden death. ④


    How young people can prevent


    "Sudden death" accident?




    1. Cultivate a healthy lifestyle. Balanced nutrition, moderate exercise, weight control, smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, and stress reduction are all helpful in preventing heart disease. Remember: avoid overwork and strenuous exercise! Especially for patients with heart disease, high-risk factors for heart disease, or family history of heart disease, overwork or strenuous exercise can lead to excessive cardiac load and increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. 2. Regular physical examination can detect heart disease or high-risk factors of heart disease as early as possible, such as high blood pressure, high blood fat, diabetes, etc., so that early detection and early treatment can be achieved. Important reminder: If there is a family history of heart disease (someone in the family suffers from hereditary cardiomyopathy (such as: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, etc.), ion channel disease, cardiac or sudden death of unknown cause, etc.), it is necessary to see a doctor as soon as possible, complete the routine electrocardiogram, Cardiac ultrasound, dynamic electrocardiogram and other examinations, if necessary, coronary imaging, cardiac magnetic resonance, electrophysiological examination, genetic testing, etc. 3. Drug or device prevention If you have heart disease or high-risk factors for heart disease, you should use the corresponding drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is currently the most effective treatment to prevent sudden cardiac death, which can significantly reduce the incidence of sudden cardiac death. It is usually used in patients with severe heart failure, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. The specific indications and types of implantation should be determined by a cardiologist after a comprehensive evaluation. ④
