Isishwankathelo

Unyaka ngamnye phantse ama-800,000 amaMelika ahlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo. Ukuhlaselwa kwentliziyo kwenzeka xa ukuphuma kwegazi kuye entliziyweni ngesiquphe kuvaliwe. Ngaphandle kokungena kwegazi, intliziyo ayinakufumana ioksijini. Ukuba ayinyangwa ngokukhawuleza, umsipha wentliziyo uqala ukufa. Kodwa ukuba ufumana unyango olukhawulezileyo, unokukwazi ukuthintela okanye ukunciphisa umda kwimisipha yentliziyo. Kungenxa yoko le nto kubalulekile ukuba wazi iimpawu zesifo sentliziyo kwaye ubize i-911 ukuba wena okanye omnye umntu unazo. Kuya kufuneka ubize, nokuba awuqinisekanga ukuba sisifo sentliziyo.

Ezona mpawu zixhaphakileyo kumadoda nabasetyhini

• Ukungonwabi kwesifuba. Ihlala iphakathi okanye ngasekhohlo kwesifuba. Ihlala ngaphezulu kwemizuzu embalwa. Ingahamba kwaye ibuye. Inokuziva ngathi uxinzelelo, ukucudisa, ukugcwala, okanye iintlungu. Ikwanokuziva ngathi ukutsha kwentliziyo okanye ukungancedi.
• Ukuqhawukelwa ngumphefumlo. Ngamanye amaxesha le luphawu lwakho kuphela. Ungayifumana ngaphambi okanye ngexesha lokungonwabi kwesifuba. Kungenzeka xa uphumle okanye wenze into encinci yomzimba.
• Ukuphazamiseka emzimbeni ophezulu. Unokuziva iintlungu okanye ukungonwabi kwingalo enye okanye zombini, umqolo, amagxa, intamo, umhlathi, okanye indawo engaphezulu yesisu.

Unokuba nezinye iimpawu, ezinjengokubangela isicaphucaphu, ukugabha, ukuba nesiyezi, nokuba nentloko elula. Unokuphuma ubile kubanda. Ngamanye amaxesha abafazi baya kuba neempawu ezahlukeneyo emva koko amadoda. Umzekelo, kunokwenzeka ukuba bazive bediniwe ngaphandle kwesizathu.

Esona sizathu siphambili sokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo yimithambo yegazi (CAD). Nge-CAD, kukho inqwaba yecholesterol kunye nezinye izinto, ezibizwa ngokuba yi-plaque, kwiindonga zangaphakathi okanye kwimithambo. Le yi-atherosclerosis. Inokwakha iminyaka. Ekugqibeleni indawo yecwecwe inokuqhekeka (ivuleke). Ihlwili legazi linokujikeleza i-plaque kwaye livimbe umthambo.

Unobangela oqhelekileyo wokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo sisifo esibuhlungu (ukuqina) kwemithambo yegazi. Ispasm sinciphisa ukuphuma kwegazi kwimithambo.

Esibhedlele, ababoneleli ngononophelo lwempilo benza uxilongo ngokusekwe kwiimpawu zakho, kuvavanyo lwegazi, nakwiimvavanyo zempilo eyahlukileyo. Unyango lunokubandakanya amayeza kunye neenkqubo zonyango ezinje nge-coronary angioplasty. Emva kokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo, ukuvuselelwa kwentliziyo kunye nokutshintsha kwendlela yokuphila kunokukunceda uchache.
