The British "Daily Mail" website recently published an article, the latest data show that the United Kingdom every year, 35,000 women by coronary heart disease to lose their lives - this number is three times the number of women died of breast cancer. Recently, British researchers conducted an in-depth questionnaire survey, and summarized the seven most need to be alert to women's disease-causing factors.

　　Excessive alcohol consumption

　　Risk of morbidity: 1 case of heart disease per 10 people on average

　　Expert Explanation: Glyn Thomas, a cardiologist at the Institute of Cardiology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, said that family genetics is indeed one of the most important triggers of heart attacks. A Swedish study showed that a mother with a history of heart disease is 43% more likely to have a heart attack in her children.

　　According to Qi Wenhang, a professor of cardiology at Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, long-term excessive alcohol consumption can lead to increased blood pressure, which makes it easier to suffer from heart disease over time. In addition, excessive alcohol consumption is bad for the liver and kidneys, and must be controlled. However, a little wine every day is good for heart health.

　　Sweet tooth

　　Risk of heart disease: Women with a family history of overweight due to a sweet tooth are likely to experience an average of 1 in 3 cases of heart disease.

　　Expert's explanation: Sweets such as cakes and cookies contain too many calories and saturated fatty acids. A sweet tooth can lead to the accumulation of fat in the waist and hips, increasing the risk of high blood sugar and diabetes, which in turn leads to dyslipidemia, high blood pressure and heart disease. If a woman is already overweight and has a family history of heart disease, her chances of having a heart attack increase exponentially. The best way to prevent this is to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and get into the habit of exercising every day. It is best for women to consume no more than 20 grams of saturated fatty acids per day. In addition, Chi Wenhang pointed out that in addition to eating fewer sweets on a daily basis, it is also important to control the intake of fat, calories and salt. Fat will make cholesterol rise, hardening of the arteries, calories will make people obese, salt eaten too much will lead to increased blood pressure, these are the enemy of heart health.

　　Declining thyroid function

　　Risk of disease: Older women with hypothyroidism and high blood lipids are likely to develop 1 case of heart disease in every 20 people on average.

　　Expert's explanation: British survey found that every 1,000 women, 15 of them suffer from hypothyroidism, 1/3 of the women with hypothyroidism have high blood pressure, and high blood pressure is one of the main factors leading to heart disease.

　　Shen Jin, chief physician of the cardiology department of Beijing Hospital, said that people with hypothyroidism have low metabolism and are prone to obesity, which is bad for the heart. Chi Wenhang reminded that thyroid recession is more common to trigger low blood pressure, not necessarily high blood pressure, it is best to rely on individual circumstances. Experts recommend that women who have developed hypothyroidism, it is best to go to the hospital at least once a year to check blood pressure, just in case.

　　Severe snoring

　　Risk of morbidity: 1 case of heart disease may occur in every 30 people on average

　　Expert's explanation: Some studies show that the risk of heart attack during sleep is 6 times higher in severe snorers than in normal people. When a person snores, a short pause in breathing can lead to changes in blood pressure, nervous system and hormone secretion. Chi Wenhang points out that people who sleep and snore are often accompanied by stubborn hypertension, which directly damages heart health. According to Shen Jin, snoring will also deprive people of oxygen, which can easily induce myocardial ischemia when the oxygen level in the blood is too low. Both experts suggest that snorers should go to the respiratory department of the hospital to find out the cause of the disease as soon as possible and get appropriate treatment.

　　Smoking

　　Morbidity risk: women who smoke and love to eat high-calorie food may have 1 case of heart disease in every 15 people on average.

　　Expert Explanation: Studies show that women smokers are 25% more likely to develop heart disease than men. This is because women's bodies are more susceptible to the toxic effects of tobacco. Qi Wenhang further explained that smoking directly causes damage to the endothelial function of blood vessels, leading to hardening of blood vessels and inducing coronary heart disease. Smoking has a hundred harms but not one benefit, can quit as early as possible.

　　High blood pressure during pregnancy

　　Morbidity risk: an average of every 25 people may appear 1 case of heart disease

　　What the experts say: Pre-eclampsia affects 1 in 10 women during pregnancy and puts them at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life. The Women's Health Research Unit at the University of London Medical School found that pregnant women with pre-eclampsia are more than twice as likely to have a heart attack later in life, partly because pre-eclampsia may damage blood vessels.

　　Chi Wenhang advises that patients who develop perinatal hypertension must monitor their blood pressure from time to time. In some cases, blood pressure stays high even after the birth of a child, requiring long-term treatment.

　　Frequent migraines

　　Morbidity risk: an average of every 15 women may appear 1 case of heart disease

　　Expert's note: Studies have shown that women who suffer from frequent severe migraines have twice the normal risk of heart disease and stroke. The reason for this may be that migraines cause changes in blood flow, and heart attacks are caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle. Qi Wenhang and Shen Jin cautioned that despite the above study, there are many triggers for migraine headaches, not all of which may be related to heart disease. However, if you have headaches from time to time, you should go to the hospital for examination and should not be ignored.

　　Finally, the two experts emphasized that multiple factors such as family history and lifestyle habits are often intricately intertwined, which in turn trigger heart disease. The dangers mentioned above are just a reminder for women to pay more attention to diet, exercise and quit smoking, which is good for the heart and even the whole body health.
