     Cardiovascular disease is a disease that often occurs in the elderly. As the elderly age, under the influence of some incentives, the elderly will have heart failure, which is what we often call heart failure. If in the winter, the elderly themselves suffer from cardiopulmonary disease, and then affected by cold temperatures, it is easy to cause respiratory infections in the elderly, which is an important cause of heart failure; in addition, there are long-term coronary heart disease or high blood pressure, resulting in serious mental problems. Plastic, this is one of the causes of heart failure.

　　How to find out whether there is a heart failure in the elderly at home? Today, the small series of Huierkang Medical Devices in Suzhou City lists several characteristics of heart failure in the elderly:

　　One: heart failure generally occurs anxiety, insomnia, lethargy, sluggishness, etc. This is because heart failure occurs in heart failure, brain cells are hypoxic, and mental symptoms in the elderly are more prominent.

　　Second: In addition to heart failure, there are other diseases in the elderly. As a result, many diseases coexist, the condition will be more complicated, and the symptoms will be diverse. These will mask the symptoms of heart failure. We usually care about the breathing and heart rate of the elderly. If the elderly have a heart rate that is too fast and uneven, and if the breathing is difficult, it may be caused by heart failure. Seek the doctor quickly.

　　Three: nocturia is also one of the symptoms of heart failure, because the elderly have more activities during the day, so the amount of blood returned to the heart is relatively insufficient, the cardiac output is reduced, the amount of renal blood perfusion is reduced, so the amount of urine is reduced; but the elderly go to bed at night, Back to the heart of the relative increase in blood volume, increased cardiac output, which is bound to cause nocturia, this situation has become one of the signs of cardiac insufficiency.

　　Four: If the elderly have heart failure, then his digestive tract will also have some differences. Heart failure is usually accompanied by visceral congestion. Patients will have different degrees of gastrointestinal symptoms. The elderly will generally have nausea, bloating, loss of appetite. Symptoms such as vomiting, some serious gastrointestinal bleeding, hematemesis, melena and so on.

　　Five: We can listen to the chest of the old man. If you hear the obvious wheezing or wet rales, it means that the heart function of the old man is incomplete. It is recommended to send a doctor immediately.

　　The above points are several characteristics of heart failure in the elderly. Usually, family members need to pay more attention to the changes in the physical condition of the elderly in order to take corresponding countermeasures to deal with them.
