Wintertime myocardial infarction and stroke need to be careful: Wells Daily

[웰스데일리 김수진 기자] The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, “In winter when the temperature drops sharply, you should be especially careful of cardiovascular diseases.” “If you have early symptoms, call 911 immediately and ask you to go to the emergency room of a nearby large hospital.”

According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of deaths from cardio-cerebrovascular disease over the past 10 years was higher in winter, when temperatures drop sharply, and in March, which has a large daily temperature difference, compared to summer. Myocardial infarction and stroke are the main causes of death and are characterized by sudden symptoms. Early detection and treatment can prevent death and disability.

Myocardial infarction should be suspected when sudden chest pain persists for more than 30 minutes during daily life or when breathing difficulties, cold sweats, vomiting, and dizziness appear. In addition, paralysis, sudden speech and visual impairment, dizziness, and severe headache are suspicious symptoms of a stroke.

It is most important to know the symptoms of myocardial infarction and stroke in advance and call 911 for help immediately if a patient occurs in you, your family, or around you. The optimal time (golden time) for appropriate treatment of myocardial infarction and stroke is within 2 hours of myocardial infarction and within 3 hours of stroke.

So, if you arrive at the emergency room of a nearby large hospital as soon as possible and receive reperfusion therapy (piercing the clogged blood vessels again), you can get better at the same normal level as before it occurred or to a state where you are barely aware of the disorder.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said, “To inform the public of this, we produce promotional images and distribute them through the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and through social networks.” It is necessary to follow the rules.”

He added, “By continuing to manage lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol, and lack of physical activity, and prior diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, we can prevent the occurrence of severe cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.”

“It is important to consistently practice healthy lifestyles for the prevention of cardiovascular disease,” said Eun-kyung Jung, Commissioner of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “It is good to know the symptoms of myocardial infarction and stroke in advance in case of an emergency, and call 911 immediately in case of occurrence.” He emphasized.
