The vessels that feed the heart are called coronary vessels. Vascular structures consist of layers. Over time, damage and cracks occur on the inner surface of the vessel under the influence of many environmental and genetic factors. Cholesterol enters through these cracks. With the involvement of inflammatory processes, vascular smooth muscle cells proliferate and connective tissue is formed in abundance. As a result of these processes, hardness and plaques form in the vessels. We call this cardiovascular disease.
According to a large-scale study conducted in our country, the leading risks that cause cardiovascular disease are smoking with 92% and stress with 80%. This is followed by obesity, irregular and unbalanced nutrition, inactivity and poor quality sleep. As you can see, these unhealthy living habits can be corrected. In this way, we can protect ourselves from cardiovascular disease. As a society, there is a serious need for awareness on this issue.
Whichever profession has stress and irregular life, employees of that profession are at risk. With economic difficulties, the problems of those who are just starting out in their profession are also increasing.
Journalists, politicians, bankers, drivers, managers are professions with a high risk of cardiovascular diseases.
HIGH-LEVEL MANAGERS ARE GETTING HEART DISEASES
Senior managers get heart diseases more frequently. Moreover, death rates from heart attack are high. They are under the influence of challenging stress such as the responsibility of being a manager, emotional strain, and managing employees. There is a lack of physical activity and exercise. When bad habits such as smoking are added to an unbalanced and irregular diet, the probability of having a heart attack is much higher than other members of society.
MPERS AND POLITICIANS ARE AT RISK
Long working hours and meetings, and the sense of responsibility of having to make decisions that concern the whole country are among the factors that create stress. Frequent travels and irregular and unusual nutrition in the places visited also pave the way for heart diseases. Lack of adequate and quality sleep and lack of physical activity cause vascular diseases. Z. It is very important for politicians, who are constantly under stress, to organize their working hours well and exercise regularly. Choosing appropriate and healthy foods during their travels will protect them from heart diseases to a great extent.
JOURNALISTS, REPORTERS, MEDIA SECTOR
Sleepless hours and not being aware of what and how much you eat in the rush to follow the agenda are common in these professions. Dangerous situations in the environment also increase the stress factor. When bad habits such as smoking are added to all these, it is easy to get heart disease.
COPS AND SOLDIERS
Heavy working conditions harm heart health. Fear of death and excitement are the biggest sources of stress. At the same time, assignment periods, getting used to the region and adapting to the region also stress the police and military. That's why they can get heart disease.
PILOTS
Pilots, especially those who fly passenger planes, take responsibility for their own lives as well as the lives of approximately 250 people. . Moreover, the slightest technical problem that may occur can result in death. They have to struggle with these problems alone. Life cycles and circadian rhythm disruption during long flights can also lead to heart disease. The risk of clot formation in the veins also increases during long flights without movement. For this reason, pilots are a very risky professional group in terms of cardiovascular diseases.
WHAT ABOUT DOCTORS?
In terms of heart diseases. What a great irony that doctors rank first in the list of the riskiest professions. You know what you need to do, but you can't implement it. Even the slightest mistake and your patient could die. And you have to do this every day. Being surrounded by death and feeling death closely affects the heart negatively. In addition, it has been shown that disruption of the circadian rhythm in on-call jobs increases the risk of diseases such as heart diseases and cancer. Unbalanced, irregular and inadequate nutrition, stress during long stressful working hours with no opportunity to rest and rejuvenate Not being able to spare enough time for oneself to manage the business is also one of the downsides of this profession. We physicians must be aware of this and take care of ourselves as well as our patients. Only then can we be much more successful in our profession.
Health is our most valuable asset. Health is the beginning of everything. It should be at the top of our life's priorities list. It cannot be neglected. Let's take care of ourselves, our health, our hearts. I wish all of us a beautiful life.
