　　In the past two weeks, reporters have heard in different hospitals that young people have suffered a myocardial infarction and needed to be sent to the hospital for rescue.

Professor Zhang Minzhou, the leader of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the medical director of the Chest Pain Center, specially reminded that myocardial infarction is younger, and the prognosis of myocardial infarction in young people is worse, and the risk of sudden death is high.

　　Heart attack in young people more prone to sudden death

　　"The youngest patient with acute myocardial infarction I have ever treated is only 22 years old!" Zhang Minzhou told reporters, "It is worth noting that compared with the elderly, young people are more prone to sudden death after myocardial infarction, and the prognosis is often worse. The risk of myocardial infarction is high and extremely dangerous." Zhang Minzhou reminded that sudden myocardial infarction in young people has its own characteristics.

"The onset of myocardial infarction in young people is often acute and the aura symptoms are not obvious. Many young and middle-aged patients who died suddenly due to myocardial infarction felt 'healthy' before the onset of the disease, and often had no symptoms, even if they had symptoms, they were relatively mild. Arteriography often shows only single-vessel disease."

　　To prevent myocardial infarction, young people should pay attention to these incentives

　　The weather is cold, in addition to keeping warm, how to prevent myocardial infarction?

Zhang Minzhou analyzed that common risk factors for myocardial infarction in young people include obesity, smoking, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, etc., while strenuous exercise, overwork, mental stress, overeating, severe insomnia, etc. are common triggers.

For example, staying up late may cause damage to the intima of the heart vessels, the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, and induce myocardial infarction.

　　In addition, the genetic tendency of young myocardial infarction patients is more obvious, and it often has the characteristics of familial disease. Therefore, young people with family history should pay more attention to changing the fatty and greasy eating habits, long-term high-pressure work, lack of exercise, etc. living and working habits.

　　Tips: Identify myocardial infarction at home and pay attention to eight symptoms

　　Zhang Minzhou reminds that if one of the following situations occurs at home, you should seek medical attention in time to prevent the occurrence of serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events:

　　1.
