Prevention of myocardial infarction, Start Now: How to Personalize Your Health by Age and Gender

The heart is the most important organ that supplies blood to our body. It works non-stop like an engine and sustains life. But one of the diseases that causes problems with this precious heart is 'myocardial infarction.' Because cardiac infarction can suddenly occur and threaten life, it is important to deal with it quickly enough to be called 'golden time'. But the best way is to prevent myocardial infarction from occurring in the first place.

Starting with the basic understanding of myocardial infarction, we will look at how the risk factors for myocardial infarction vary according to age and gender from a scientific perspective, and we will look at customized prevention strategies and practical solutions for each age group and gender

Chapter 1: Myocardial infarction, why is it dangerous and how does it happen? 

Myocardial infarction is a disease in which the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscles are blocked, causing damage or death to parts of the heart muscles. All cells in our body need oxygen and nutrients, and the heart muscles are no exception. The coronary arteries are important blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscles themselves. If this coronary artery narrows or becomes completely blocked for any reason, the heart muscles in that area will not receive oxygen and nutrients and will necrotize. This process is called myocardial infarction.

Main cause: arteriosclerosis

The most common cause of myocardial infarction is arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is a phenomenon in which cholesterol, fat, and calcium accumulate on the inner wall of blood vessels and form a mass called an 'etheroclastic plaque', which causes blood vessels to harden and narrow.

• Cholesterol: In particular, LDL cholesterol, called 'bad cholesterol', is the main culprit for the buildup of blood vessel walls.

• Hypertension: High blood pressure causes lasting damage to the walls of blood vessels, accelerating atherosclerosis.

• Diabetes: High blood sugar levels are prone to damage the inner walls of blood vessels and cause an inflammatory reaction, increasing the risk of arteriosclerosis.

• Smoking: Smoking directly damages vascular endothelial cells and promotes blood clotting, which rapidly progresses arteriosclerosis.

• Obesity: Abdominal obesity, etc., increases insulin resistance and triggers an inflammatory response, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

If the bamboo plate bursts or blood clots (blood clots) form on it and completely block the blood vessels, myocardial infarction can occur. In addition, stress, overwork, and cold weather can put pressure on the heart, causing or worsening myocardial infarction.a major symptom of myocardial infarction

The most common symptom is "chest pain." Severe squeezing pain, which seems to be weighing on the center of the chest or the left chest, can often last more than 30 minutes. The pain can also spread to the shoulders, arms (especially the left), neck, and jaw. In addition, shortness of breath, cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness can be accompanied. If you experience these symptoms, you should immediately call 119 and visit the emergency room.

Chapter 2: The hidden key, gender, gender, psychological risk of psychology

The risk factor of psychological factors apply to all people, but the importance of the importance and gender, depending on age and gender.This difference is the core of custom prevention strategy.

1. Change risk change according to age: biometric aging and blood vessels

• Young agedae (20-40s) is relatively rare, but you can occur in young layers.Smoking, diabetes, diabetes, diabetes, diabetes, and family power, and family power.In particular, the lack of Westernized eating habits and lack of exercise of young layers.In addition, it is reported from young women's structural problems such as Spontane Coronary Arteria (S AutoCAD: Spontan Protection" is also reported from young women.

• The middle-aged age 50-60s is a time to increase rapidly increasing.Due to accumulated living habits, the cumulative number of arteries are highly likely to proceed with a long period.chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high blood pressure, diabetes, high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol blood pressure factor acts as a major risk factor of coronary artery disease.In the case of pneumonia, the risk of cardiovascular protection increases due to the decrease in women's hormone protection effect.

• The aging layer 70s is a process of blood vessels, and the artery elasticity of blood vessels decreases, and arteries are more intensified.There are many cases in cases where Shim Geun-kyung is not good, and chronic closed diseases (Shinbujeon, chronic closed diseases such as kidney lung disease, chronic closed diseases such as well as well.In addition, there are cases where vision-type psychological symptoms (e.g.g., fatigue, fatigue, fatigue, fatigue, fatigue and fatigue is delayed.

2. Risk differences according to gender: hormones and physiological characteristics

• Male: Men: The management rate is relatively early than women.In particular, the risk of living habits increases, and stress factors such as smoking, drinking, alcohol, and stress, such as smoking, drinking, and stress.The impact on male hormone (Tron) is complexally performed composite, but in the case of a young management effectively, but protection effectively than women.

• Women: Women's hormones are lower than men's protection effectively than men's protection effects.Ernestin is a positive role such as improving blood cells and lower LDL cholesterol levels.However, when the lung path decreases rapidly, the risk of severe myocardial infarction can be similar to men or higher.In particular, women are characterized that it is easy to complain of fatigue, such as fatigue, digestive disorders, digestive diseases such as fatigue, digestive disorders, digestive disorders, and pain.In addition, there is a result of research results that pregnant women can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in future.scientific mechanism

• My skin functional Dysfunction: The blood cells in blood cells are controlled, and relaxation of blood vessels.High blood pressure, diabetes, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, and smoking, and smoking is the start point of cancer.

• inflammatory reaction (Inflamm) is chronic inflammatory disease, but chronic inflammation is chronic inflammation is chronic inflammatory disease.The increase of inflammatory membrane such as CRP (C- reactivity protein) is used as important indicating the risk of cardiovascular disease.

• blood condensation system (Coagulation System): blood cells are a direct cause of heart muscle.The imbalance of blood vessels and condensation of blood vessels increases the risk of blood generation.

As such, psychological color refers to a more complex pattern through variables, and gender, and gender, this suggests that it should be carefully adjusted in accordance with individual characteristics of individual characteristics.

Chapter 3: Customized Heart Protection Strategy: Preventive Management by Age and Gender

1. Key precautions common to all ages and genders:

• Regular Health Checks: It is most important to check and manage your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels periodically. You should pay more attention, especially if you have a family history.

• Quitting Smoking: Smoking is the strongest risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Quitting smoking significantly lowers the risk of myocardial infarction.

• Quitting alcohol: Excessive drinking increases blood pressure and puts pressure on the heart. It is recommended to keep an appropriate amount of alcohol or to abstain from alcohol.

• A Balanced Diet: Reduce saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium intake, and maintain a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and unsaturated fats (such as omega-3 fatty acids). The Mediterranean diet is considered a typical cardiovascular health diet.

• Regular Exercise: Aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, swimming, etc.) for more than 30 minutes, three to five times a week, helps improve blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.

• Stress Management: Chronic stress is harmful to cardiovascular health by raising blood pressure and promoting an inflammatory response. It is important to manage stress through meditation, yoga, hobbies, and more.

2. Customized management by age and gender:

A. Younger age group (20-40s):

• Early Risk Factor Management: If you have a family history, or risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, or pre-diabetes, you should detect them early and actively manage them. Establishing healthy lifestyles early on becomes the cornerstone of your future cardiovascular health.

• Avoid smoking and drinking too much alcohol: As it is the leading cause of myocardial infarction in young people, it should be avoided absolutely.

• Exercise Habitat: It is important to find your own way to exercise consistently in a busy daily life.

• Female: If you have a history of gestational diabetes or electronic liver disease, you should have regular cardiovascular screenings and maintain a healthy lifestyle after giving birth. This is important for lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease in the future.

B. Middle-aged people (50-60s):

• Chronic Disease Intensive Care: If you have chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc., you should continue to receive medication according to your doctor's instructions and make efforts to improve your lifestyle. Managing your levels with self-blood pressure and blood sugar measurements is helpful.

• Strengthening Cardiac Health Checks: In addition to general health checks, you may want to consider a thorough examination that can assess the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as carotid ultrasound, cardiac CT, and exercise load tests.

• Postmenopausal Women: In preparation for the loss of cardiovascular protection due to the decrease in female hormones, we should be more active in preventing cardiovascular diseases than men. In particular, they become vulnerable to abdominal obesity, so they pay attention to weight management and maintain a diet that is good for cardiovascular health along with calcium and vitamin D intake to prevent osteoporosis.

C. Older people (over 70):

• Steady Activity: It is better to do light aerobic exercises (walks, gymnastics, etc.) that fit your physical abilities, rather than radical ones. Muscle training is also helpful for preventing falls and cardiovascular health.

• Regular dosing: medications for chronic diseases should be taken according to your doctor's instructions without arbitrarily stopping them. If you are taking a lot of medications, it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist about drug interactions or side effects.

• Awareness of atypical symptoms: Older people should be aware that myocardial infarction can occur due to atypical symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, indigestion, etc., in addition to typical chest pain, and if they have any suspected symptoms, they should visit a medical institution immediately.

• Mental Health Care: Loneliness, depression, etc. can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, so it is also important to manage mental health through participation in social activities and interactions with family.

• Deepening scientific solutions:

• Medication: ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and so on are crucial in the prevention of myocardial infarction in hyperlipidemia patients. Diabetes patients need to thoroughly control their blood sugar through hypoglycemic agents. Aspirin can be prescribed for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in some high-risk patients, but it must be taken after consulting a doctor for the risk of bleeding.

• Biomarker Monitoring: High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) tests help predict cardiovascular disease risk by identifying the degree of vascular inflammation. Certain lipoprotein levels, such as Lp(a), are also attracting attention as novel biomarkers that can predict the risk of myocardial infarction in relation to genetic factors.

• Genetic testing: Some genotypes (e.g., APOE genotypes) are associated with cholesterol metabolism and cardiovascular risk. These genetic predispositions can be identified and used to establish personalized prevention strategies.

Chapter 4: Lifestyle Design for a Healthy Heart (Long-Term Perspective)

Preventing myocardial infarction is not a short-term effort, but a lifestyle change that should last a lifetime. Let's take a long-term look at how to design our daily lives for a healthy heart.

1. Knowing me is the beginning

It is most important to accurately identify your cardiovascular risk factors.

• Family history: If any of your parents or siblings have had a heart attack or stroke, you should be more alert and think your risk is high. Genetic predisposition is something we cannot change, but it is an incentive to be aware of and become more active in improving our lifestyle.

• Pre-existing conditions: If you have a pre-existing condition, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or chronic kidney disease, thorough management of those conditions is directly linked to the prevention of myocardial infarction. You should consult your doctor to establish an optimal treatment plan and implement it steadily.

• Lifestyle Assessment: Be honest with your current smoking status, alcohol consumption, eating habits, exercise, stress levels, etc. and find something to improve.

2. Creating Sustainable Habits for Heart Health

• Step-by-step goal setting: When you suddenly try to change everything, it is easy to fail. For example, it is important to set realistic goals by starting with "a 10-minute walk three times a week" instead of "a 30-minute workout every day" and gradually increasing them. Small successes combine to make a big difference.

• Meals for You: Finding a healthy diet that is sustainable for you is more important than a diet that is in vogue. It aims to eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats, fish, and reduce processed foods and sweets.

• Pleasant Exercise: It is important to make exercising a 'joyful activity' rather than thinking of it as a 'homework assignment.' It increases sustainability if you add fun to your exercise, such as exercising with friends or learning new sports. In addition to walking and jogging, it is more effective to do strength training along with various aerobic exercises such as riding a bike, swimming, and dancing.

• Link to Mental Health: Stress, anxiety, and depression are closely related to cardiovascular disease. Managing mental health through meditation, deep breathing, yoga, spending time in nature, and getting enough sleep is also critical for heart health. Seeking professional help is also advisable if necessary.

3. Heart care with up-to-date medical information

Cardiovascular medicine is constantly evolving. It is recommended that you consult your doctor with an interest in the latest findings, diagnostic techniques, treatments, and more.

• Using telehealth and smart devices: Heart rate through wearable devices, activity monitoring, and self-measurement data recording through blood pressure gauges or blood glucose meters are useful data for objectively grasping one's health status and consulting with a doctor.

• Heart Rehabilitation Program: A heart rehabilitation program is essential for patients who have suffered from myocardial infarction or have undergone heart surgery. This is a process of exercising safely, managing their diet, and receiving psychological support under the supervision of a medical professional, which goes a long way toward lowering the risk of recurrence and improving quality of life.

In conclusion, myocardial infarction prevention is the process of understanding oneself and designing a healthy lifestyle using scientific knowledge based on steadiness. Recognizing the risk factors of age and gender and developing and implementing customized strategies can help you avoid the threat of myocardial infarction and lead a healthier and more vibrant life
