Man's lips turn purple

Male friends should not ignore purple lips. Once this symptom appears, it indicates that you have a potential disease. If you do not receive timely treatment, your condition will become more serious. Therefore, you must first find out the cause of your disease. You can go to the hospital for X-rays and electrocardiograms, etc. Only after these test results are completed can you clearly know your disease and prescribe the right medicine.

According to the "Diagnostic Criteria for Chronic Cor Pulmonale", patients have chronic bronchitis, emphysema, other pulmonary and thoracic diseases or pulmonary vascular lesions, which cause pulmonary artery hypertension, right ventricular enlargement or right heart failure, such as cervical venous distension, hepatic enlargement and tenderness, positive hepatocervical reflux signs, lower limb edema and venous hypertension, etc., and have the aforementioned electrocardiogram and X-ray manifestations. A diagnosis can be made by referring to vectorcardiogram, echocardiography, pulmonary impedance blood flow diagram, pulmonary function or other tests.

1. Coronary Atherosclerotic Heart Disease (CHD)

Both cor pulmonale and coronary heart disease are common in the elderly. They have many similarities and often coexist. Coronary heart disease has typical angina, a history of myocardial infarction or electrocardiogram manifestations. A history of left heart failure, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes is more helpful for identification. Physical examination, X-ray and electrocardiogram examinations show signs of left ventricular hypertrophy, which can be used for identification. There are more difficulties in distinguishing cor pulmonale from coronary heart disease. A detailed medical history, physical examination, and heart and lung function tests should be performed for identification.

2. Rheumatic Valvular Heart Disease

Tricuspid valve disease in rheumatic heart disease should be distinguished from relative tricuspid regurgitation in cor pulmonale. The former often has a history of rheumatic arthritis and myositis, and other valves such as the mitral valve and aortic valve often have lesions, and X-rays, electrocardiograms, and echocardiograms have special manifestations.

3. Primary cardiomyopathy

This disease is usually characterized by global cardiomegaly, with no history of chronic respiratory disease or X-ray manifestations of pulmonary artery hypertension. [2]

1. It is best to take precautions against heart disease when you are young, arrange your study and work time properly, cultivate an open-minded and peaceful personality, exercise regularly, and avoid overeating.

2. Nutritionists and physicians have pointed out that eating more oranges and vegetables can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure, and can prevent these diseases. Orange juice contains antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-allergic antioxidant ingredients, and can prevent blood clotting.

3. Strengthen exercise, improve the body's disease resistance, actively treat bronchial and lung diseases, and prevent colds; eat high-calorie, high-protein and easily digestible poultry food. People with heart failure should control sodium and water intake, avoid smoking and drinking; live a regular life, adapt to nature, keep warm during the autumn and winter seasons, and avoid being triggered or aggravated by cold.
