Isishwankathelo se-Atherosclerosis

I-Atherosclerosis, eyaziwa ngokuba sisifo sentliziyo, sisimo esibi nesongela ubomi. Nje ukuba ufumaneke ukuba unesifo, kuyakufuneka wenze utshintsho olubaluleke kakhulu, oluhlala luhleli ukuze usithintele kwezinye iingxaki.

Kodwa ngaba isifo sinokubuyiselwa? Lowo ngumbuzo onzima ngakumbi.

Yintoni i-atherosclerosis?

Igama elithi "atherosclerosis" livela kwigama lesiGrike elithi "athero" ("uncamathisele") nelithi "sclerosis”(" Ubunzima "). Yiyo loo nto imeko ikwabizwa ngokuba "kukuqina kwemithambo."

Esi sifo siqala kancinci kwaye siqhubeka ngokuhamba kwexesha. Ukuba une-cholesterol ephezulu, i-cholesterol egqithisileyo ekugqibeleni iqala ukuqokelela kwiindonga zakho zomthambo. Umzimba emva koko uphendula kulwakhiwo ngokuthumela iiseli ezimhlophe zegazi ukuba ziwuhlasele, ngokungathi ziya kuhlasela usulelo lwebacteria.

Iiseli ziyafa emva kokutya i-cholesterol kwaye iiseli ezifileyo nazo ziqala ukuqokelela kumthambo. Oku kukhokelela kukudumba. Xa ukudumba kuhlala ixesha elide, ukonakala kuyenzeka. Kule nqanaba, i-plaque eyenziwe kwimithambo sele iqine.

Xa imithambo iba mxinwa, igazi alikwazi ukufikelela kwiindawo ekufuneka lifikelele kuzo.

Kukwakho nomngcipheko ophakamileyo wokuba xa iqabunga legazi liphuma kwenye indawo emzimbeni, linokuxinga kumthambo omxinwa lize lisike ukunikezelwa kwegazi ngokupheleleyo, elinokubangela isifo sentliziyo okanye ukubetha.

Izakhiwo ezinkulu zamacwecwe nazo zinokukhupha kwaye ngequbuliso zithumele ukubonelelwa kwegazi ebelifakwe ngaphambili entliziyweni. Ukukhawuleza kwegazi ngokukhawuleza kunokumisa intliziyo, kubangele isifo sentliziyo esibulalayo.

Kufunyaniswa njani?

Umboneleli wakho wezempilo uya kumisela ngexesha lovavanyo lomzimba rhoqo ukuba unemingcipheko ye-atherosclerosis.

Ezi zinto zibandakanya imbali yokutshaya okanye iimeko ezinje:

• isifo seswekile
• igazi elonyukayo
• cholesterol ephezulu
• ukutyeba kakhulu

Umboneleli wakho wezempilo unokuyalela iimvavanyo kubandakanya:

• Ukujonga iimvavanyo. I-Ultrasound, i-CT scan, okanye i-magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) vumela umboneleli wakho wezononophelo lwempilo ukuba abone ngaphakathi kwimithambo yakho kwaye amisele ubungqongqo bokuvaleka.
• Isalathiso se-Ankle-brachial. Uxinzelelo lwegazi emaqatheni akho luthelekiswa noxinzelelo lwegazi olukwingalo yakho. Ukuba kukho umahluko ongaqhelekanga, unokuba nesifo semithambo peripheral.
• Uvavanyo loxinzelelo lwentliziyo. Umboneleli wakho wezempilo ujonge intliziyo yakho kunye nokuphefumla kwakho ngelixa usenza umthambo, njengokukhwela ibhayisekile okanye ukuhamba ngokukhawuleza kwitreadmill. Kuba umthambo wenza ukuba intliziyo yakho isebenze nzima, inokunceda umboneleli wakho wezempilo afumane ingxaki.

Ngaba inokubuyiselwa umva?

UGqirha Howard Weintraub, ugqirha wezentliziyo e-NYU Langone Medical Centre, uthi wakube ufumene ukuba une-atherosclerosis, eyona nto unokuyenza kukwenza ukuba esi sifo singabi yingozi.

Ucacisa kananjalo ukuba "kwizifundo esele zenziwe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, isixa sokuncitshiswa kwamacwecwe okwakha abonwa kwisithuba sonyaka okanye emibini silinganiswa ngekhulu le-millimeter."

Unyango lwezamayeza oludityaniswe nendlela yokuphila kunye notshintsho kwindlela yokutya lunokusetyenziselwa ukugcina i-atherosclerosis isiya isiba mbi, kodwa abakwazi ukubuyisa esi sifo.

Amanye amayeza anokumiselwa ukonyusa intuthuzelo yakho, ngakumbi ukuba unesifuba okanye iintlungu zomlenze njengophawu.

I-Statins zezona zilungileyo kwaye zisetyenziswa ngokuxhaphakileyo ukunciphisa amayeza e-cholesterol eMelika. Basebenza ngokuthintela into esesibindini sakho esetyenziswa ngumzimba ukwenza uxinano olusezantsi lwe-lipoprotein (LDL), okanye i-cholesterol embi.

NgokukaGqirha Weintraub, isezantsi unkqonkqoza i-LDL phantsi, kokukhona kusenokwenzeka ukuba uyakufumana i-plaque iyeke ukukhula.

Kukho ii-statins ezisixhenxe eziqhelekileyo ezimiselweyo e-United States:

• atorvastatin (Lipitor)
• ifluvastatin (Lescol)
• I-lovastatin (Altoprev)
• ipitavastatin (Livalo)
• ipravastatin (Pravachol)
• Irosuvastatin (Crestor)
• Simvastatin (iZocor)

Ukutshintsha kokutya ngendlela esempilweni kunye nokuzilolonga rhoqo zizinto ezibaluleke kakhulu ekunciphiseni uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu kunye ne-cholesterol ephezulu, amagalelo amabini aphambili kwi-atherosclerosis.

Nokuba umboneleli wakho wezempilo umisela i-statin, kusafuneka utye ukutya okusempilweni kwaye usebenze ngokwasemzimbeni.

UGqirha Weintraub uthi, "nawuphina umntu angalitya ngaphandle iyeza esibanika lona. ” Ulumkisa ukuba ngaphandle kokutya ukutya okufanelekileyo "iyeza liyasebenza, kodwa hayi ngokufanayo."

Ukuba uyatshaya, yeka ukutshaya. Ukutshaya kubangela ulwandiso lweplanga kwimithambo. Iyanciphisa inani le-cholesterol elungileyo (i-lipoprotein ephezulu, okanye i-HDL) onayo kwaye inokunyusa uxinzelelo lwegazi, olunokunyusa uxinzelelo kwimithambo yakho.

Nazi ezinye iinguqulelo zokuphila onokuzenza.

Zilolonge

Cwangcisa imizuzu engama-30 ukuya kwengama-60 ngosuku lwe-cardio ephakathi.

Eli nani lomsebenzi liyakunceda:

• ukunciphisa umzimba kwaye ugcine ubunzima bakho obusempilweni
• gcina uxinzelelo lwegazi oluqhelekileyo
• yonyusa amanqanaba akho e-HDL (cholesterol elungileyo)

Utshintsho kwizidlo

Ukunciphisa umzimba okanye ukugcina ubunzima obusempilweni kunokuwunciphisa umngcipheko weengxaki ngenxa ye-atherosclerosis.

Ezi ngcebiso zilandelayo ziindlela ezimbalwa zokwenza oku:

• Nciphisa ukutya iswekile. Ukunciphisa okanye ukuphelisa ukusetyenziswa kwee-sodas, iti eswiti, kunye nezinye iziselo okanye iidessert ezinencasa iswekile okanye isiraphu yengqolowa.
• Yitya ifibre ngakumbi. Yandisa ukusetyenziswa kweenkozo ezigcweleyo kwaye ube neenkonzo ezi-5 ngosuku lweziqhamo kunye nemifuno.
• Yitya amafutha asempilweni. Ioyile yomnquma, iavokhado kunye namandongomane zizinto ezinokhetho olusempilweni.
• Yitya inyama esikiweyo. Inyama yenkomo kunye nenkukhu okanye iturkey isondliweyo yimizekelo emihle.
• Kuphephe ukuhambisa amafutha kunye nokunciphisa amafutha awaneleyo. Ezi zinto zifumaneka kakhulu kukutya okusetyenzisiweyo, kwaye zombini zibangela ukuba umzimba wakho uvelise i-cholesterol engaphezulu.
• Nciphisa ukutya okune-sodium. Ukutya kakhulu isodiyam kunokuba negalelo kuxinzelelo lwegazi.
• Nciphisa ukusela kwakho utywala. Ukusela rhoqo kunokunyusa uxinzelelo lwegazi, kube negalelo ekuzuzeni ubunzima kwaye kuphazamise ukulala uphumle. Utywala buphezulu kwiikhalori, inye okanye zimbini iziselo ngemini ezinokongeza kumgca wakho "osezantsi".

Kuthekani ukuba amayeza kunye notshintsho kwindlela otya ngayo ayisebenzi?

Ugqirha luthathwa njengonyango olunoburharha kwaye lwenziwa kuphela xa ukubhloka kusongela ubomi kwaye umntu engaphendulanga kunyango lwamayeza. Ugqirha usenokususa i-plaque kumthambo okanye aqondise ukuhamba kwegazi kufutshane nomthambo ovaliweyo.
