Endothelial cells are a layer of cells in the blood vessels that directly contact with the blood. Thanks to endothelial cells, blood flow can be kept unobstructed in the body without coagulation. According to the pathological basis of the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease, the key link of atherosclerotic damage is vascular endothelial cell damage and dysfunction, and then fat deposition forms atherosclerotic plaque.
All the current treatment measures can not fundamentally solve the problems of structural and functional protection of vascular endothelial cells. Therefore, we must find a way to actively and effectively intervene the mechanism of arterial intima injury, and that is ECP.
ECP is to apply external pressure to the human body during cardiac diastole by using the air bag wrapped in the lower limbs of the human body to drive the blood of the lower limbs and buttocks back to the aorta, so as to increase the perfusion pressure and blood supply of the myocardium (increase by 30% to 50%),so as to improve the vascular function, blood circulation and metabolism, which can also increase the oxygen supply to the heart and reduce the myocardial loss. External counterpulsation is a new concept in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
ECP is used to build a new collateral circulation system by pressurizing the lower limbs. Of course, the timing of compression is very important. Generally, the diastolic period will be selected. At that time, artificial blood flow waves will be formed, forming a certain impulse to flush the blood vessels. Under the action of this impulse, endothelial cells will release a kind of anti atherosclerotic material, so as to repair the function and morphology of endothelial cells.At the same time, we also found that ECP has other therapeutic effects, such as sudden deafness.
Patients should adhere to long-term medication, do not stop suddenly, and come to the hospital for review regularly.Develop a good lifestyle and behavior habits, adhere to the appropriate amount of physical exercise, avoid doing strenuous exercise, prevent obesity, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and do not drink a lot of strong tea and coffee. Keep a good mood, optimistic and cheerful, and avoid violent mood fluctuations. Reasonable diet with low salt and low fat, more fresh vegetables and fruits are advised, diet should not be too full, more meals but less food at each meals will be better. Keep defecation unobstructed and prevent constipation.
Finally, I wish you all a happy life and good health!To learn more about cardiovascular disease, please pay attention to us. See you next time.
