Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia, the number of sick and dying people has been increasing rapidly. In many news reports, novel coronavirus pneumonia is seen in many new cases of pneumonia.
Novel coronavirus pneumonia has novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan. The Lancet has published an epidemiological analysis and clinical analysis of 99 new crown pneumonia cases. Data show that 68% of the 99 new crown pneumonia patients have underlying diseases, including 41% of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Studies have shown that novel coronavirus invades cells through ACE2 receptors. New coronavirus infection of the lung can lead to the decrease of the quantity and function of ACE2 protein in the lung, and cause acute lung failure. However, the ACE2 receptor has an antihypertensive effect on the human body. If the expression of the ACE2 receptor is increased, the blood pressure can be decreased, and if the expression is decreased, the blood pressure will be increased. Although there is not enough evidence to prove that people with hypertension are more likely to be infected with new coronavirus, people with cardiovascular diseases are more likely to have related complications and have a poor prognosis.
According to the "China cardiovascular disease report 2018", the mortality rate of cardiovascular disease is higher than that of cancer and other diseases, ranking the first. Two out of every five deaths die from cardiovascular disease. It is also mentioned that there are 290 million cardiovascular diseases in China, including 245 million hypertension patients.
High blood pressure group:
Parents with hypertension;
Old age;
Snoring patients;
Those who took more salt;
Smoking and drinking;
Obesity;
Mental stress is high;
Snoring is a risk factor independent of age, obesity, smoking, and other hypertension risk factors is an important cause of aggravating or leading to hypertension.
Patients with hypertension usually have to snore, and snoring or sleep apnea also promotes the onset of hypertension to a large extent.
The mechanism of snoring leading to hypertension attack mainly includes sympathetic nerve excitation and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Simply put, sleep apnea or hypoventilation will lead to the respiratory restriction, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply, thus stimulating the relevant nervous system and organs to react, causing blood pressure to rise.
A ventilator is considered to be the most effective treatment for snoring. By pressurizing the air, the machine can open the collapsed airway, thus ensuring the smooth breathing of the human body, solving the problem of hypoxia, and reducing the attack rate of hypertension.
