About me
Member of the Jining Branch of the Shandong Respiratory Society and the Jining Emergency Medicine Poisoning Society. Graduated from Jining Medical College, engaged in clinical work in internal medicine and emergency medicine for over 30 years, with rich experience in diagnosing and treating common and prevalent diseases in internal medicine and internal medicine emergencies. Has unique insights in the application of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Authored more than 10 articles published in national journals, including "Clinical Analysis of 50 Cases of Acute Episodes of Pulmonary Heart Disease Treated with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" and "Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease Blood Stagnation Type from the Perspective of Phlegm". Organized and participated in the "Clinical Study of Blood Lipid Clearing Treatment for Primary Hyperlipidemia" and was awarded the third prize for scientific research achievements in Jining City. Contributed to the editing of two works, including the "Clinical Diagnostic Techniques Manual".

Heart attack is what disease
Myocardial infarction is a serious heart condition caused by the formation of atherosclerotic thrombosis in the coronary arteries, blocking the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle and leading to myocardial necrosis. Timely rescue treatment is necessary, and without effective treatment, it can lead to serious complications. Common complications include heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and arrhythmias, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, after a myocardial infarction occurs, it is essential to immediately go to the hospital for rescue treatment, using effective medications to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dilate the coronary arteries, and improve myocardial blood supply, among other treatment methods.
What foods should be eaten for hyperlipidemia?
People with high blood lipids should first pay attention to a diet low in fat, sugar, and oil, and eat more fruits and vegetables that are rich in dietary fiber, high in vitamins, and high in trace elements. These effective substances can reduce blood viscosity and increase the elasticity of blood vessels, thereby achieving the effect of regulating blood lipids. Common foods to consume include apples, pineapples, grapefruits, oranges, kiwis, seaweed, rapeseed, shiitake mushrooms, winter melon, celery, spinach, onions, and wood ear mushrooms. These foods are all suitable for people with high blood lipids.
Can people with heart disease drink alcohol?
Patients with heart disease should not drink alcohol, especially those with severe heart conditions, including heart failure and arrhythmias. Drinking alcohol can excite the sympathetic nervous system, increase heart rate, enhance myocardial oxygen consumption, increase cardiac burden, and worsen arrhythmias and heart failure. Additionally, patients with organic heart disease who regularly require medication should avoid alcohol. Alcohol can chemically interact with certain medications or reduce their effectiveness, potentially harming the body.
Is ventricular premature beat a heart disease?
Ventricular premature beats can occur in the normal population, caused by autonomic nervous dysfunction. These premature beats are not considered heart disease. However, ventricular premature beats caused by certain heart diseases are considered heart disease. Common heart diseases include congenital heart disease, viral myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, coronary artery disease, and pulmonary heart disease. These diseases lead to myocardial damage and ischemia, causing abnormal conduction rhythms, resulting in premature beats. Treatment should be provided based on different causes, and the premature beats should be corrected simultaneously.
Causes of high blood pressure
Hypertension is clinically divided into primary hypertension and secondary hypertension. Primary hypertension is characterized by elevated blood pressure without other symptoms, and the current clinical diagnostic methods cannot determine the cause of the blood pressure rise, which is referred to as primary hypertension. Secondary hypertension occurs as a result of other diseases, with the most common being hyperthyroidism, glomerulonephritis, arteritis, atherosclerosis, and other diseases causing high blood pressure. After the onset of hypertension, effective antihypertensive drugs must be used for treatment. Hypertension is not to be feared, but the damage it causes to the body is. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a physician)
Causes of arrhythmia
Arrhythmia is a common and frequently occurring disease in clinical practice, primarily caused by various organic heart diseases. Common heart diseases include coronary heart disease, congenital heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, pulmonary heart disease, severe myocarditis, and cardiomyopathy, all of which can lead to arrhythmias that are generally severe. Arrhythmias can also occur in some healthy individuals due to instability of the autonomic nervous system. This type of arrhythmia can be clinically cured through lifestyle adjustments, appropriate exercise, and improvements in myocardial contractility and conductivity.
Can people with heart failure eat fish?
Patients with heart failure can eat fish, as fish contains a large amount of high-quality protein, vitamin B, trace elements, and minerals. Consuming fish can increase the high-quality protein the body needs, enhance the body's immunity and disease resistance. Especially for patients with heart failure, who suffer from chronic myocardial ischemia, need nutritional support. When preparing fish, it should not be made too salty, as patients with heart failure should follow a low-salt diet. If the fish is too salty, consuming it in excess could exacerbate heart failure. Preparing fish in a lighter way, such as making fish soup, can not only supplement the body's high-quality protein but also be easier to digest.
How to adjust for premature ventricular contractions?
Ventricular premature beat management should vary based on the cause. Frequent ventricular premature beats caused by organic heart disease can be harmful to the body, and under a doctor's guidance, effective antiarrhythmic drugs should be used for treatment. If the ventricular premature beats are due to autonomic dysfunction in healthy individuals, or caused by excessive fatigue or staying up late, this type of premature beat generally does not require the use of antiarrhythmic drugs for treatment. Instead, managing the autonomic nerves and engaging in regular exercise can enhance the normal contractile strength of the heart and adjust the autonomic nerves to correct these abnormal ventricular premature beats.
What medicine should I take to lower blood lipids for hyperlipidemia?
Hyperlipidemia is currently a common and frequently occurring disease in clinical practice. Persistent elevation of blood lipids can cause certain damage to the body. Currently, there are many lipid-modifying and lipid-lowering medications used clinically, including statin-based Western medicines, as well as some traditional Chinese patent medicines. Additionally, some herbal teas and herbal decoctions can also be used to achieve the purpose of lowering lipids. The choice of medication should be made under the guidance of a doctor. Apart from using medication, it is also important to pay attention to dietary adjustments, adopting a diet low in fat, salt, and oil, while also increasing physical exercise and reducing weight.
What causes cardiomyopathy?
In clinical practice, the most common type of myocarditis is viral myocarditis. Due to a decrease in the body's resistance, the virus invades and damages the myocardium, causing localized and diffuse inflammatory damage to the heart muscle, which poses significant harm to the body. The early clinical symptoms of viral myocarditis often manifest primarily as respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms, accompanied by palpitations and shortness of breath, necessitating the use of electrocardiograms and myocardial enzyme spectrum tests. Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of viral myocarditis play a crucial role in the prognosis.
