What are the causes of large-area myocardial infarction

When talking about heart attack, everyone thinks that this is a disease that only affects the elderly. In fact, this is not the case. Nowadays, many young people also suffer from this disease. Myocardial infarction is an extremely dangerous disease. Once symptoms of large-area myocardial infarction occur, it will pose a serious threat to life. Now let’s talk about the causes of large-scale myocardial infarction.

1. Overwork:

Excessive physical labor, especially climbing stairs with heavy loads, excessive physical activity, continuous stress and fatigue, etc., can increase the burden on the heart and suddenly increase the myocardial oxygen demand. The coronary arteries of patients with coronary heart disease have become hardened and narrowed and cannot fully expand, causing myocardial ischemia. Severe physical stress can also induce plaque rupture and lead to acute myocardial infarction.

2. Emotional excitement:

Some patients with acute myocardial infarction are induced by intense emotional changes such as excitement, tension, and anger. People should try to avoid negative emotions such as excessive worry, excitement, anger, etc. in life, maintain a calm mind, pay attention to relieving stress, communicate frequently with people around them, and cultivate some amateur interests and hobbies to cultivate their sentiments.

3. Overeating:

Many cases of myocardial infarction occur after overeating. After eating a large amount of high-fat, high-calorie food, blood lipid concentration suddenly increases, leading to increased blood viscosity and increased platelet aggregation. Thrombosis forms on the basis of coronary artery stenosis, causing acute myocardial infarction.

4. Cold stimulation:

Sudden cold stimulation may induce acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease should pay special attention to keeping warm. In the cold winter and spring seasons, it is entirely possible that acute myocardial infarction may be induced by contraction spasm of the coronary arteries.

5. Cold stimulation:

Sudden cold stimulation may induce acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, patients with coronary heart disease should pay special attention to keeping warm. In the cold winter and spring seasons, it is entirely possible that acute myocardial infarction may be induced by contraction spasm of the coronary arteries.

6. Constipation:

Constipation is very common among the elderly. Clinically, it is not uncommon for elderly people to suffer myocardial infarction due to holding their breath due to constipation. When defecating, abdominal pressure will increase, which will lead to increased blood pressure. The plaque in the arterial lumen will cause myocardial infarction under the double pressure. In particular, patients who already have plaques in their arterial lumen are more likely to suffer from myocardial infarction.

7. Smoking and drinking heavily:

Smoking and heavy drinking can induce coronary artery spasm and increase myocardial oxygen consumption, leading to acute myocardial infarction. Drinking large amounts of strong coffee can also cause persistent spasm of the coronary arteries and lead to myocardial infarction.
