Is there any relationship between cervical spondylosis and heart

Cervical spondylosis is a common disease among middle-aged and elderly people. It was originally caused by lack of exercise of muscles and bones. Now many young people also suffer from cervical spondylosis due to lack of rest due to long-term work. Cervical spondylosis is mainly related to sitting posture and lack of exercise, and has nothing to do with the heart. Therefore, the occurrence of cervical spondylosis has nothing to do with the heart, and you don’t need to worry about the occurrence of heart disease.

Cervical spondylosis is a common clinical disease. It used to be more common in middle-aged and elderly people, but in recent years it has tended to occur in younger people. It used to be an occupational disease of accountants and teachers, but now it is a common disease in offices. Many people are also very concerned about the maintenance of cervical spondylosis. As cervical spondylosis brings more and more impacts to people’s lives and health. Whether cervical spondylosis is related to heart disease has gradually aroused heated discussion among patients.

The heart disease caused by cervical spondylosis is called cervicogenic heart disease

Definition of cervical heart disease: When a person's cervical spondylosis occurs, the deformed cervical vertebrae can compress many nerves and cause lesions in various internal organs. Now there is a new discipline in medicine, "cervical heart disease", which is caused by cervical spondylosis.

Clinical manifestations of cervicogenic heart disease: palpitations, heart palpitations, neck discomfort, dizziness, etc.

Treatment of cervicogenic heart disease

For cervical heart disease, traction can stretch the ligaments around the cervical spine, expand the spinal canal and intervertebral foramen, correct the medial spinal imbalance, change the position of the compressed nerve roots, eliminate or reduce the compression and irritation of the nerve roots, promote the absorption of swelling and inflammation, and relieve muscle spasms, thereby achieving the purpose of treatment. Combined with manipulation, cervical scoliosis, rotation, facet joint disorder, etc. can be restored. It can also pull the spinal nerve roots, intervertebral foramina, soft tissue and compressed parts to increase the gap, release adhesions of nerve root sleeves, and eliminate congestion and edema around the nerve roots due to accelerated blood circulation, thereby reducing and eliminating pain. Changes in the internal and external physiological balance of the neck, including a series of symptoms caused by congestion and ischemia due to compression of the cervical spinal nerve roots caused by pathological changes in the cervical spine. Such as heaviness in the shoulders and back, stiffness in the neck and back, dizziness, pain or discomfort in the parts above the neck, precordial pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations. In summary, some patients with cervical spondylosis whose main symptoms are angina pectoris or arrhythmia, have electrocardiograms and various physical examinations that do not conform to the characteristics of organic heart disease. A careful inquiry into the medical history, a detailed physical examination, a comprehensive clinical analysis, and appropriate experimental drug treatment are required to make a diagnosis of cervicogenic heart disease.
