I-Stroke vs. I-Heart Attack: Uyini Umehluko?

Kokubili isifo sohlangothi nesifo senhliziyo yizimo ezibucayi ezenzeka ngokuzumayo ezinezimpawu ezithile ezizayo ezidinga ukungenelela kwezokwelapha ngokushesha. Nakuba zombili izimo zihilela imithambo yegazi futhi zingaholela ekukhubazekeni unomphela noma izinkinga ezinzima, kubalulekile ukwazi umehluko phakathi kwalezi zimo ezimbili zezokwelapha.

Isifo senhliziyo

I-myocardial infarction, eyaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi isifo senhliziyo, ngokuvamile iyisimo se-coronary artery disease eqhubekayo. Uma kunezifo zemithambo yenhliziyo, imithambo ehambisa igazi enhliziyweni iyavaleka ngenxa yokuqothuka kwamafutha okwenza imithambo ibe mincane, okuholela esimweni esibizwa ngokuthi i-Atherosclerosis. Ngenxa yokuvaleka kokugeleza kwegazi, amangqamuzana obuchopho awawutholi umoya-mpilo owanele futhi alimale. Ngisho nemisipha yenhliziyo iyalimala ngenxa yokuntuleka komoyampilo. 

Izimpawu Zokuhlaselwa Kwenhliziyo

Kukhona ezinye izimpawu eziveziwe lapho kwenzeka isifo senhliziyo:

• Ubuhlungu Besifuba noma Ukuqina
• Ubuhlungu Obungachazeki Engalweni Noma Emahlombe, Emhlane, Entanyeni, noma Emhlathini
• Ukuphelelwa umoya
• Ubuthakathaka, isiyezi, nokuquleka

Ukuhlasela kwenhliziyo kungase futhi kuhambisane nokuhlanza noma isicanucanu. Uma usola ukuthi othile unesifo senhliziyo, kufanele ushayele i-ambulensi ngokushesha futhi ulungele ukunikeza i-CPR uma kudingeka.

Stroke

I-stroke ibangelwa ngendlela efanayo nokuhlasela kwenhliziyo okwenzeka ebuchosheni. Ngakho-ke, imithambo yegazi yobuchopho iyathinteka ngenxa yokuntuleka komoya-mpilo ebuchosheni, okwenza ingxenye yobuchopho yonakale noma ife. 

Ukushaywa unhlangothi kuvame ukubangelwa ukuvaleka ngenxa yamahlule noma ngenxa yokuqhekeka kwemithambo yegazi ebuchosheni, okungaholela ekufeni kwamangqamuzana obuchopho ngenxa yokuntuleka komoyampilo.

Izimpawu Zesifo Sohlangothi

Izimpawu ze-Stroke zihlanganisa okulandelayo:

• Isiyezi esingalindelekile 
• Ukudideka okungazelelwe
• Ukulahlekelwa ibhalansi
• Ukuba ndikindiki/ubuthakathaka ohlangothini olulodwa lomzimba wakho
• Ikhanda Elibuhlungu
• Ukufiphala okungajwayelekile kwelinye noma womabili iso
• Izinkinga ezisheshayo ekukhulumeni nasekuxhumaneni

Izimpawu ze-stroke zifana kakhulu nesifo senhliziyo; ngakho-ke, ukuze unqume ngokushesha isifo sohlangothi, khumbula izifinyezo ezilandelayo ezibonisa izimpawu ezibonakalayo ze-stroke.

Ungakuvimbela Kanjani Ukuhlaselwa Kwenhliziyo Noma Uhlangothi?

I-pathogenesis (imbangela) ngemuva kokushaywa unhlangothi kanye nesifo senhliziyo iyafana kakhulu. Ukuhlonza izimpawu ngesikhathi kuzosiza ekuvimbeleni umonakalo omkhulu emithanjeni yegazi. Kodwa-ke, njengoba isisho sisho, ukuvimbela kungcono kunokwelapha, ngakho-ke kufanele siqikelele ukunciphisa izingozi zokuthintwa isifo senhliziyo noma isifo sohlangothi.

Kokubili ukuhlaselwa yinhliziyo nokushaywa unhlangothi kungagwenywa ngokuzama ukugwema izici eziyingozi eziholela ezifweni ezinjalo. Lezi zici eziyingozi zihlanganisa ukubhema, ingcindezi, ukukhuluphala, nempilo yokungawuvivinyi. Kufanele wenze izinguquko ezithile endleleni yokuphila ukuze ulawule izici eziyingozi ezibangela isifo senhliziyo noma unhlangothi. 

• Kufanele uyeke ukubhema ugwayi kanye nokunye ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi.
• Kufanele futhi ugweme ukuphuza utshwala ukuze ugweme izifo ze-coronary artery ezingaholela ekuhlaselweni yinhliziyo noma unhlangothi.
• Kufanele udle ukudla okunempilo okuhlanganisa imifino, amantongomane, nezithelo. Ungahlanganisa nokudla kwezinhlanzi nezinkukhu, kodwa kufanele ugweme inyama ebomvu, imikhiqizo yobisi, nokudla okugayiwe ngangokunokwenzeka.
• Ukuzivocavoca okuningi kubalulekile ukuze unakekele kahle inhliziyo yakho.
• Ukuze ugweme isifo senhliziyo noma unhlangothi, kufanele uphuze umuthi onqunyelwe ukulawula umfutho wegazi, isifo sikashukela, kanye ne-cholesterol.

Kufanele uye ukuyohlolwa njalo izifo zenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi ukuze ulinganise umfutho wegazi lakho, inkomba yesisindo somzimba (BMI), izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo, njll. Uma kuba nanoma yimuphi umbuzo, kufanele uhlale uthintana nodokotela wakho ukuze uthole uhlelo olusebenzayo lokuvimbela.
