A 32-year-old man suddenly suffered a heart attack and fell into a coma! Doctors remind you: These bad habits may cost you your life

"Fortunately, he was in the hospital when the disease occurred and he survived. Thank you!" said Mr. Long's mother, who was hospitalized due to myocardial infarction, with lingering fear.

Mr. Long, 32, who lives in Changsha, did not take chest pain seriously at home for two days. Two days later, he developed compressive chest pain, shortness of breath, and profuse sweating while climbing stairs, so he went to Hunan Provincial People's Hospital for treatment.

The outpatient electrocardiogram indicated acute myocardial infarction. The attending doctor immediately activated the chest pain green channel and performed emergency coronary angiography, which revealed that one of the coronary arteries was completely occluded. With the treatment of the medical team, the blocked blood vessel was successfully opened and a stent was implanted, and the patient was out of danger.

It is understood that Mr. Long is 1.71 meters tall, but weighs 93 kilograms, with a BMI of 31.8kg/m², far exceeding the normal value of 18.5-23.9kg/m². He is a long-term smoker, has an extremely irregular work and rest schedule, and often stays up late. At the same time, he prefers a diet high in oil and salt. During this hospitalization, it was found that he also suffered from high blood sugar and high blood lipids. These high-risk factors caused him to suffer from acute myocardial infarction at a young age.

Yan Sulan, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital , pointed out that patients with acute myocardial infarction aged 18 to 35 generally have risk factors such as smoking, obesity, and hyperlipidemia. Long-term smoking accelerates atherosclerosis and increases the risk of blood vessel blockage. Studies have shown that the incidence of acute myocardial infarction in people who smoke more than 25 cigarettes a day is 8 times that of non-smokers.

Chief Physician Yan Sulan reminded that in recent years, the age of onset of acute myocardial infarction has gradually become younger. Young people should be highly vigilant about the risk of cardiovascular disease, develop a healthy lifestyle, avoid smoking, staying up late and unhealthy diet. Manage blood sugar and blood lipids; if you have repeated chest pain, chest tightness and other symptoms, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to strive for the golden treatment time to avoid dangerous situations.
