I believe that with epidemiologists, cardiovascular disease, clinicians, and related disciplines such as sociology, psychology, behavior, nutrition, kinematics, experts in the fields of economics, together with extensive cooperation, and the whole society attention and participation of coronary heart disease prevention and treatment will achieve good results.
Coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases may be horrible, but people do not know what its flawless. According to the World Health Organization study, as long as the integrated control measures taken, about 80% of heart disease is preventable. For cardiovascular disease prevention and control strategies should take the whole population, patients at high risk strategy and the principle of combining prevention and treatment strategies.
Strengthening the prevention of cardiovascular disease, prevent disease or slow the diseases progress, we must build four lines of defense:
The first line of defense is to prevent disease. That good primary prevention, the focus on population control strategy. Form multidisciplinary alliances to work together and make concerted efforts in the common platform of integrated control groups with multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Start from the lower age groups, especially among young people under the age of 18, so that they can be perceived from childhood risk factors, develop good habits.
The second line of defense is to prevent incidents. That is to take measures to prevent the development of cardiovascular disease, and will not risk the consequences of acute. Specifically, it is management of coronary heart disease patients, their long-term stability, does not appear myocardial infarction and other serious consequences. One stable hardened plaque, antithrombotic therapy is the key to prevention event.
The third line of defense is to prevent the consequences. If there is a myocardial infarction and other serious consequences, we must consider how as soon as possible, scientific and standardized way to a patient.
The fourth line of defense is to prevent recurrence. The prevention of myocardial infarction and other serious incidents happen again. Recovered patients, must pay attention to the intervention of behavioral risk factors, such as smoking, limit alcohol, appropriate physical activity. If the lifestyle is not changed, the risk of relapse at any time.
