How can people with chronic diseases resist the epidemic? Authoritative answer
Is there a severe risk after infection in patients with cardiovascular disease? How to resist the epidemic situation of patients with chronic diseases represented by cardiovascular disease and diabetes? Patients with cardiovascular diseases should focus on controlling basic diseases. The weather is cold in autumn and winter, and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and hypertension will increase. Patients with cardiovascular diseases should always have antihypertensive drugs at home. Patients without fever are the same as other asymptomatic infections. "Cardiovascular patients should not be afraid of novel coronavirus. Whether infection with novel coronavirus affects the effect of antihypertensive drugs; at present, novel coronavirus has not been found to have an effect on antihypertensive drugs. Diabetes patients should avoid blood sugar disorders. Do diabetics resist the epidemic? The second is to reduce the fluctuation of blood sugar. That is, according to the healthy diet directed by doctors to diabetic patients, once diabetic patients have symptoms of hypoglycemia, they should pay attention to diabetic dyslipidemia, abnormal blood pressure and other metabolic abnormalities, and diabetic patients should adhere to medication.
Recently, the topic of weakening the pathogenicity of the Omicron mutant has attracted social attention. Is there a severe risk after infection in patients with cardiovascular disease? How to resist the epidemic situation of patients with chronic diseases represented by cardiovascular disease and diabetes? The joint defense and control mechanism of the State Council organized relevant experts to give authoritative answers.
Patients with cardiovascular diseases should focus on controlling basic diseases
The weather is cold in autumn and winter, if people are tired, excited, and have a good meal, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and hypertension will increase, or even aggravate the disease.
"if you have a cardiovascular attack, don't be afraid or anxious. You must take medicine in time." Zhou Yujie, executive vice president of Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University and executive deputy director of Beijing Cardiopulmonary Vascular Research Institute, said that cardiovascular patients should always have antihypertensive drugs at home. High blood pressure, do not be afraid, to take medicine on time, do not stop the drug. In addition, if there is a myocardial infarction, you should go to the hospital in time to receive interventional treatment.
"We found that patients with cardiovascular disease had a good control of the underlying disease and did not increase their risk after being infected with the Omicron mutant." Zhou Yujie said that in clinical treatment, except those infected with fever may have an impact on the body, patients without fever are the same as other asymptomatic infections. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular diseases should not be afraid of novel coronavirus, but should focus on the control of basic diseases.
Zhou Yujie said that prevention of cardiovascular disease is better than cure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the best way of prevention. First of all, we should have a reasonable diet without high oil, salt and high cholesterol diet; second, we should give up smoking and limit alcohol; third, we should exercise appropriately, walk around at home or in an open place, and we can also do some anaerobic exercise to exercise the muscles of the arms and legs. it's good for the cardiovascular system; finally, keep a balanced mind and don't worry.
Does infection with novel coronavirus affect the effect of antihypertensive drugs? Zhou Yujie said that novel coronavirus has not been found to have an impact on antihypertensive drugs.
Diabetic patients should avoid blood sugar disorder
"the most important thing for people with diabetes to resist the epidemic is to control their blood sugar." Guo Lixin, director and chief physician of the Endocrinology Department of the National Geriatric Medical Center of Beijing Hospital, said that one is to stabilize the overall level of blood sugar and strive to achieve the standard of glycosylated hemoglobin control, and the other is to reduce the fluctuation of blood sugar. To achieve these two points, on the one hand, we should have a reasonable diet, that is, according to the healthy diet instructed by doctors to patients with diabetes, eat a reasonable diet, appropriately increase nutrition, and increase the intake of high-quality protein; on the other hand, we should exercise an appropriate amount of exercise, such as jogging and brisk walking. we should also do some strength training. At the same time, blood sugar should be monitored regularly, including fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose. Once diabetic patients have symptoms of hypoglycemia, they should test their blood sugar at any time, eat carbohydrates properly, adjust their drugs and lifestyle, and keep their blood sugar as stable as possible. At the same time, attention should be paid to diabetes complicated with dyslipidemia, abnormal blood pressure and other metabolic abnormalities. In this way, we can enhance the resistance and get through the epidemic smoothly.
Diabetics should stick to medication. Guo Lixin said that diabetes is a lifelong disease, although some patients with diabetes can be relieved to a certain extent, but they still need lifestyle intervention and drug treatment. Patients should choose appropriate drugs and adjust the treatment plan in time by monitoring blood sugar. It should be noted that even if the blood sugar is well controlled, the drug should not be stopped at will, because once the drug is stopped, the blood sugar will fluctuate and increase the risk of infection.
People with diabetes should avoid anxiety. Guo Lixin said that once diabetic patients are anxious, especially long-term anxiety, there will be an increase in the level of a variety of "stress hormones". Stress hormones antagonize the hypoglycemic effect of insulin, causing an imbalance in hormone secretion in the body, which is easy to aggravate abnormal blood sugar. In addition, anxiety can also easily lead to insomnia and sleep structure disorders, further aggravating blood sugar disorders. Therefore, people with diabetes should maintain a calm state of mind and control their blood sugar at a relatively good level.
