Risk of myocardial infarction due to high intensity exercise

Recently, doctors at the Cardiovascular Center, E Hospital performed emergency intervention and successfully saved the life of a young man who was hospitalized due to an acute myocardial infarction.

Recently, doctors at the Cardiovascular Center, E Hospital performed emergency intervention and successfully saved the life of a young man who was hospitalized due to an acute myocardial infarction.

It is worth mentioning that this young man is only 32 years old, completely healthy, regularly exercises but is still at risk of a dangerous heart attack, directly threatening his life and possibly leaving serious sequelae.

Doctors are examining a patient with a heart attack.

MSc. Dr. Dam Hai Son, Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Cardiovascular Center, E Hospital said that the male patient (32 years old, Vinh Phuc) was admitted to the hospital with severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, sweating...

Upon receiving the patient, the doctors noticed typical symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and immediately ordered the necessary tests and imaging.

Through test results, echocardiography and coronary angiography results, a blood clot narrowing the anterior interventricular artery was detected. The patient was diagnosed with myocardial infarction and immediate emergency intervention was indicated.

Taking medical history, the patient is a fitness trainer, therefore very interested in fitness and regularly exercises at high intensity.

That day, after finishing the exercise session, the patient began to feel short of breath, the shortness of breath gradually increased, then turned into increased chest tightness and angina, the pain lasted for 10 - 15 minutes. The patient was taken to the emergency room at the Cardiovascular Center, E Hospital.

Immediately, a cardiovascular emergency team was "on red alert" under the command of Dr. Ly Duc Ngoc, Deputy Head of the Department of Adult Cardiology, Cardiovascular Center, E Hospital, quickly performed intervention to remove the thrombus and place a stent to urgently re-open the patient's artery.

After the intervention, the patient was stable and continued to be monitored and actively treated at the Department of Adult Cardiology, Cardiovascular Center, E Hospital.

MSc. Dam Hai Son said that myocardial infarction is a disease with a high mortality rate, 90 - 95% of patients die if not treated promptly.

At each stage of myocardial infarction, the disease will progress at different levels and depending on each case, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate treatment method. Therefore, the earlier the approach and intervention, the more it will reduce damage to the heart valve, limit dangerous complications and even death for the patient.

MSc. Dr. Dam Hai Son warns that exercising is very beneficial for health, but overtraining can put the body at risk of dangerous risks.

Therefore, people who exercise regularly, especially strenuous physical activities, need regular check-ups to screen for cardiovascular risks.

As in this patient's case, if you intend to exercise again, you should consult your doctor and avoid high-intensity, strenuous exercises... while maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent recurrence of acute myocardial infarction.

Because for patients with a history of previous myocardial infarction, it is entirely possible that it will recur with some dangerous complications such as: heart attack, arrhythmia, acute heart failure, pulmonary embolism, stroke, acute heart valve regurgitation, sudden death...

Myocardial infarction is one of the dangerous cardiovascular diseases, directly threatening the patient's life.

The disease is common in the elderly with many underlying diseases, but is increasingly common in young people, showing that all ages can experience dangerous cardiovascular complications.

When you see signs such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, etc., you should immediately go to a medical facility with a cardiology specialist to be examined, diagnosed and have timely intervention measures to ensure the patient's life safety.

With the goal of providing the best service to patients, the Cardiovascular Center, E Hospital with a team of highly trained and experienced doctors and a system of modern medical equipment, applying many specialized techniques in the examination and treatment of cardiovascular diseases...

Currently, the Cardiovascular Center, E Hospital is one of the largest cardiovascular intervention facilities in the country, with more than 24,000 cases in both adults and children.

The number of interventions has increased steadily over the years. Doctors perform techniques such as cardiac catheterization, coronary angiography, stent placement, occlusion of ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, percutaneous aortic valve replacement, hybrid thoracoabdominal aortic intervention, intervention for chronic coronary artery occlusion, percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement, pacemaker implantation, radiofrequency arrhythmia treatment, lower limb intervention with laser and high-frequency waves, etc.
