When the development of coronary atherosclerosis to a certain extent, resulting in coronary artery luminal stenosis, obstruction, can cause myocardial ischemia, hypoxia, which occurred in a series of symptoms (such as chest tightness, angina , etc.) myocardial infarction or even life-threatening. These lesions is the coronary heart disease. The essence is to myocardial ischemia. It is also known ischemic heart disease .
Usually we say that the coronary arteries are mostly caused by organic stenosis or obstruction, also known as coronary heart disease. Department of coronary stenosis more fatty substances accumulate along the vessel wall caused by a process known as atherosclerosis . Developed to a certain degree of atherosclerosis, coronary artery gradually increased, limiting blood flow to heart muscle. Heart is not getting enough oxygen, chest discomfort occurs, that is angina.
Nap is most peoples living habits, but how to take a nap but is very demanding, especially for coronary heart disease patients, to nap is important to do science. Otherwise, instead of getting benefits, but also harm.
Patients with coronary heart disease good nap. This is a Swedish medical experts on the 97 patients with coronary heart disease and 90 healthy controls after multivariate analysis concluded. The study shows that daily 30-minute nap can reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease 30%. The researchers noted that the low incidence of coronary heart disease with the Mediterranean countries the siesta habit, inseparable from their traditional. Northern Europe and North America, a high incidence of coronary heart disease is related to their lack of nap.
So, how to take a nap coronary heart disease patients be considered successfully implemented it?
First of all, do not eat too much, before nap, too greasy. Because too full to stomach expansion, diaphragm increases, the contraction and relaxation of normal heart; too greasy to increase blood viscosity and increased coronary artery disease.
Secondly, should not immediately take a nap after lunch. Because a lot of blood flow to the stomach after a meal, blood pressure, brain oxygen decreased, insufficient blood supply to the brain prone to cause a nap at this time, therefore, to be the first to go to bed rest for 20 minutes before a nap is appropriate.
Again, pay attention to sleeping position. Coronary heart disease should take the first bed with high foot lower right lateral position to reduce the pressure on the heart and prevent snoring. Some patients with coronary heart like sitting or desk nap, which is harmful, because it makes the brain ischemia, hypoxia increased.
