Ukubuka konke kwe-atherosclerosis

I-atherosclerosis, eyaziwa kakhulu njengesifo senhliziyo, yisimo esibi futhi esisongela impilo. Lapho usutholakale ukuthi unalesi sifo, kuzodingeka wenze izinguquko ezibaluleke kakhulu, ezihlala njalo zokuphila ukuze unqande ezinye izinkinga.

Kodwa ingabe lesi sifo singabuyiselwa emuva? Lowo ngumbuzo onzima kakhulu.

Kuyini i-atherosclerosis?

Igama elithi "atherosclerosis" livela emagameni esiGreki athi "athero" ("namathisela") nelithi "sclerosis”(“ Ubulukhuni ”). Yingakho lesi simo sibizwa nangokuthi "ukuqina kwemithambo yegazi."

Lesi sifo siqala kancane futhi siqhubeke ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Uma une-cholesterol ephezulu, i-cholesterol eyeqile ekugcineni iqala ukuqoqa ezindongeni zakho zomthambo. Umzimba ube usuphendula ekwakhiweni kwawo ngokuthumela amangqamuzana amhlophe egazi ukuthi awuhlasele, kufana nokuthi angahlasela ukutheleleka kwamagciwane.

Amaseli afa ngemuva kokudla i-cholesterol kanti namaseli afile nawo aqala ukuqoqa emthanjeni. Lokhu kuholela ekuvukeleni. Lapho ukuvuvukala kuhlala isikhathi eside, kwenzeka izibazi. Ngalesi sigaba, uqweqwe olwakhiwe emithanjeni lukhuni.

Lapho imithambo yegazi iba mincane, igazi alikwazi ukufika ezindaweni okumele lifinyelele kuzo.

Kukhona nobungozi obuphakeme bokuthi uma ihlule legazi liphuma kwenye indawo emzimbeni, lingabambeka emthanjeni omncane futhi linqamule ukunikezwa kwegazi ngokuphelele, okungadala isifo senhliziyo noma isifo sohlangothi.

Ama-plaque buildups amakhulu nawo angakhipha futhi ngokuzumayo athumele ukunikezwa kwegazi obekubhajwe enhliziyweni. Ukushesha okungazelelwe kwegazi kungamisa inhliziyo, kubangele isifo senhliziyo esibulalayo.

Kutholakala kanjani?

Umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo uzonquma ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa komzimba njalo uma unezici zobungozi be-atherosclerosis.

Lezi zinto zifaka umlando wokubhema noma izimo ezifana nalezi:

• isifo sikashukela
• umfutho wegazi ophakeme
• cholesterol ephezulu
• ukukhuluphala ngokweqile

Umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo anga-oda izivivinyo kufaka phakathi:

• Ukuhlola ukuhlolwa. I-Ultrasound, i-CT scan, noma i-magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) ivumela umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo ukuthi abone ngaphakathi kwemithambo yakho futhi anqume ubukhulu bokuvaleka.
• Inkomba ye-Ankle-brachial. Umfutho wegazi emaqakaleni akho uqhathaniswa nomfutho wegazi osengalweni yakho. Uma kukhona umehluko ongajwayelekile, ungahle ube nesifo semithambo eseceleni.
• Ukuhlolwa kwengcindezi yenhliziyo. Umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo iqaphe inhliziyo yakho nokuphefumula ngenkathi wenza umsebenzi womzimba, njengokuhamba ngebhayisikili elimile noma ukuhamba ngesivinini esitayeleni. Njengoba ukuzivocavoca kwenza inhliziyo yakho isebenze kanzima, kungasiza umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo ukuthola inkinga.

Kungabuyiselwa emuva?

UDkt. Howard Weintraub, ongudokotela wenhliziyo e-NYU Langone Medical Center, uthi uma nje kutholakala ukuthi une-atherosclerosis, okungaphezu kwalokho ongakwenza ukwenza lesi sifo singabi yingozi kakhulu.

Ubuye achaze ukuthi "ezifundweni esezenziwe kuze kube manje, inani lokwehliswa kwamapuleti abonakalayo esikhathini esingangonyaka noma emibili lilinganiswa ngekhulu lama-millimeter."

Ukwelashwa okuhlangene nendlela yokuphila kanye nezinguquko zokudla kungasetshenziswa ukugcina i-atherosclerosis ingabi sibi kakhulu, kepha abakwazi ukubuyisa lesi sifo.

Eminye imishanguzo ingabuye inikezwe ukwengeza induduzo yakho, ikakhulukazi uma unezinhlungu esifubeni noma emlenzeni njengophawu.

Izitatimende yizidakamizwa ezinciphisa kakhulu futhi ezisetshenziswa kakhulu ekwehliseni i-cholesterol e-United States. Zisebenza ngokuvimba into esesibindini sakho esetshenziswa ngumzimba ukwenza i-low-density lipoprotein (LDL), noma i-cholesterol embi.

Ngokusho kukaDkt. Weintraub, uma uphansi ushaya i-LDL phansi, maningi amathuba okuthi uzowuthola uqwembe uyeke ukukhula.

Kunezimiso eziyisikhombisa ezivame ukubekwa ezitholakala e-United States:

• i-atorvastatin (Lipitor)
• i-fluvastatin (Lescol)
• i-lovastatin (Altoprev)
• i-pitavastatin (Livalo)
• i-pravastatin (Pravachol)
• i-rosuvastatin (Crestor)
• i-simvastatin (Zocor)

Izinguquko zokudla okunempilo nokuzivocavoca umzimba njalo kuyizinto ezibaluleke kakhulu ekunciphiseni umfutho wegazi ophakeme kanye ne-cholesterol ephezulu, okuyizimbangela ezimbili ezinkulu ze-atherosclerosis.

Noma umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo ekubeka isitatimende, kusazodingeka udle ukudla okunempilo futhi usebenze ngokomzimba.

UDkt. Weintraub uthi, “noma ngubani angadla aphuze umuthi esibanika wona. ” Uxwayisa ngokuthi ngaphandle kokudla ngendlela efanele “umuthi usasebenza, kodwa futhi awusebenzi.”

Uma ubhema, yeka ukubhema. Ukubhema kudala uqweqwe oluningi emithanjeni yegazi. Iphinde inciphise inani le-cholesterol enhle (i-high-density lipoprotein, noma i-HDL) onayo futhi ingakhuphula umfutho wegazi, ongakhuphula ukucindezeleka emithanjeni yakho.

Nazi ezinye izinguquko zokuphila ongazenza.

Ukuzivocavoca umzimba

Hlela imizuzu engama-30 kuya kwengama-60 ngosuku lwe-cardio elinganiselayo.

Leli nani lomsebenzi liyakusiza:

• ukunciphisa isisindo futhi ugcine isisindo sakho esinempilo
• gcina umfutho wegazi ojwayelekile
• ukukhulisa amazinga akho e-HDL (cholesterol enhle)

Izinguquko zokudla

Ukwehlisa isisindo noma ukugcina isisindo sakho esinempilo kunganciphisa ingozi yezinkinga ngenxa ye-atherosclerosis.

Amathiphu alandelayo ayizindlela ezimbalwa zokwenza lokhu:

• Nciphisa ukudla ushukela. Nciphisa noma uqede ukusetshenziswa kwama-sodas, itiye elimnandi, nezinye iziphuzo noma uphudingi onongwe ngawo ushukela noma isiraphu yamabele.
• Yidla ifayibha eyengeziwe. Khulisa ukusetshenziswa kokusanhlamvu okuphelele futhi unezinsiza ezi-5 ngosuku zezithelo nemifino.
• Yidla amafutha anempilo. Amafutha omnqumo, ukwatapheya, namantongomane kuyizindlela ezinempilo.
• Yidla ukusikeka okunamafutha. Inkomo yenkomo yenkomo nenkukhu noma ye-turkey yizibonelo ezinhle.
• Gwema amafutha we-trans futhi ubeke umkhawulo kumafutha agcwele. Lokhu kutholakala kakhulu ekudleni okucutshunguliwe, futhi zombili kubangela ukuthi umzimba wakho ukhiqize i-cholesterol eningi.
• Nciphisa ukudla kwakho i-sodium. I-sodium eningi ekudleni kwakho ingaba nomfutho wegazi ophezulu.
• Nciphisa ukuphuza kwakho utshwala. Ukuphuza njalo kungakhuphula umfutho wegazi, kube nomthelela ekuzuzeni isisindo futhi kuphazamise nokulala uphumule. Utshwala bunama-calories amaningi, isiphuzo esisodwa noma ezimbili ngosuku zingangeza kulayini wakho "ophansi".

Kuthiwani uma umuthi nezinguquko ekudleni kungasebenzi?

Ukuhlinzwa kubhekwa njengokwelashwa okunolaka futhi kwenziwa kuphela uma ukuvinjelwa kusongela impilo futhi umuntu engaphendulanga ekwelashweni ngemithi. Udokotela ohlinzayo angasusa uqweqwe emthanjeni noma aqondise ukugeleza kwegazi azungeze umthambo ovinjiwe.
