"Be careful of sudden heart problems during Chuseok."

Jang Deok-hyun, director of the Department of Cardiology at Bucheon Sejong Hospital, said "Eating these foods does not unconditionally cause heart disease, but those who eat a lot of fatty foods are likely to maintain high cholesterol for a long time, so be careful about myocardial infarction."

Myocardial infarction is a disease that causes necrosis of the heart muscle when the cardiovascular system called the coronary artery is suddenly blocked.




It is highly likely to occur in patients with angina with cardiovascular stenosis, and it may occur suddenly at any time, such as during the holiday period, in people who have not had any unusual symptoms.

The main symptom of angina is pain during exercise. If you have symptoms of chest discomfort when hiking or doing aerobic exercise, you need to check it out.

Acute myocardial infarction is literally acute, and the first symptom is chest pain that occurs suddenly without precursor symptoms.




Director Jang Deok-hyun said, `If you are a patient with angina, you should first administer 'nitroglycerin's lower leg' when chest pain appears, and if there is no improvement in symptoms within 5 minutes, you should visit the emergency room of the hospital that can treat cardiovascular disease"If a person with no history of angina persists for more than 30 minutes, he/she should also visit the emergency room for treatment."
