Chapter 317 Sudden Death Statistics(1/2)

Weikang has seen the great success of smart watches one by one.

During this period, due to the rapid popularity of smart watches, users' health data has been collected on a large scale, and massive data has poured into the database of Longtu app.

As the owner of the ECG monitoring module and Longtu app, he naturally has access to these real data.

Of course, individual personal data belongs to the user's privacy, and he is not that bored to peep.

However, the analysis and statistics based on the health big data of all users are an unparalleled treasure for any pharmaceutical company.

Among them, a shocking statistic attracted Wei Kang's attention.

At this moment, he was staring at the string of red numbers in capital letters on the screen in front of him, a hint of haze flashed between his brows, and he fell into a long silence.

This is a statistical report on user sudden death rate.

The smart watch will not only alarm frantically before detecting that the user may die suddenly, but also automatically contact 120 and emergency contacts when the user suddenly dies, so it records and counts a large amount of sudden death data.

These are first-hand data, very real and credible.

Therefore, it is particularly shocking and shocking.

Sudden death refers to the sudden death of those who are usually healthy or seemingly healthy due to natural diseases in an unexpectedly short period of time.

It is divided into two types: sudden cardiac death and non-cardiac sudden death.

Sudden cardiac death, also known as sudden cardiac death, refers to the loss of consciousness within 1 hour after the onset of acute symptoms and natural death caused by cardiac causes.

This kind of sudden death mostly occurs in patients with structural heart disease, and sudden death caused by coronary heart disease and its complications is the most common.

In addition, various types of cardiomyopathy, fulminant myocarditis, etc. are also causes of sudden cardiac death.

Non-cardiac sudden death refers to the sudden death of a patient due to diseases other than cardiac causes.

Common clinical diseases include aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, acute cerebrovascular disease, acute severe pancreatitis, severe electrolyte imbalance, etc.

The primary cause of sudden death is sudden cardiac death (58%), followed by sudden pulmonary death (22%), and then sudden cerebral death (9%).

Middle-aged people aged 30 to 63 are the age group with the highest incidence of sudden cardiac death.

There are 550,000 sudden cardiac deaths in my country every year, which is equivalent to 1,500 sudden deaths every day in the country. One person dies suddenly due to cardiac causes every minute, and the rescue success rate is less than 1%.

Judging from the statistics of sudden death in recent years, young people account for an increasing proportion of those who die suddenly.

A series of bad living habits such as working overtime, overwork, smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc., eventually lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in younger people.

Compared with the elderly, young people are actually more likely to die suddenly when they have a myocardial infarction.

Due to the long course of underlying diseases in the elderly, such as common coronary heart disease, hypertension, pulmonary heart disease, diffuse cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, etc., and repeated attacks, their body functions will have a kind of tolerance or compensation.

For young people, because the heart has not developed a compensatory protection mechanism, many people suffer from malignant arrhythmias due to acute myocardial infarction.

For example, common ventricular fibrillation is equivalent to cardiac arrest, which can cause a person to lose consciousness instantly and lead to sudden death.

The main causes of sudden death are emotional excitement and fatigue.

Staying up late for a long time, being stressed out, etc. may also induce sudden death.

When young people die suddenly, they either have some underlying diseases, leading to heart problems, or they were in poor health before the onset of the disease, such as colds, low fevers, etc. In this case, strenuous exercise may cause the virus to invade

myocardium, inducing fulminant myocarditis.

The last possibility is a heart attack.

Nowadays, more and more young people are suffering from myocardial infarction. Thrombosis forms in coronary blood vessels at a young age. Once the thrombus breaks off, there is a high probability of myocardial infarction.

In fact, the occurrence of sudden death is often accompanied by certain physical signs, and the body will also have signals before it occurs.

These signals often manifest as vomiting, difficulty breathing, chest tightness and sweating, dizziness, chest pain, abdominal pain, convulsions, headache, palpitations, cough, disturbance of consciousness, etc.

But what is worrying is that after these symptoms appear, many young people often do not know what it means, and do not expect that their heart will have problems. Therefore, for various reasons, it is easier to delay the disease and lead to missed

The best time for treatment.

You know, after sudden death occurs, it is really difficult to save it.

The key to sudden death first aid lies in the golden 4 minutes!

If the cardiac arrest lasts for more than 4 minutes, permanent damage to the brain tissue will occur, and if the cardiac arrest lasts for more than 10 minutes, brain death will occur.

If the patient can be rescued immediately after cardiac arrest, the first aid success rate is as high as 90%. This is also what is called the "golden 4 minutes" in medicine.

For every 1 minute of delay, the success rate will decrease by 7% to 10%. Timely cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and cardiac defibrillator (AED) first aid are crucial.

However, due to various reasons, it is difficult for most patients with sudden death to receive treatment within the golden 4 minutes.

This also results in an extremely low success rate of first aid for sudden death, often less than 1%.

Most patients who suffer sudden death are unable to recover and die soon after.

Therefore, prevention has become a top priority for sudden death.

It is far more effective and important to detect the signals sent by the body in time and pay attention to them, and to kill sudden death before it occurs, than to race against time to rescue after sudden death occurs.

The emergence of smart watches is filling this gap, allowing patients to pay attention to the disease before it occurs, stay alert, and take timely measures to prevent the disease from getting worse.

To a certain extent, this has indeed saved countless people, which can be said to be a great merit.

Therefore, in the report before Wei Kang, although the column showing the incidence of sudden death is bright red, the data is very high.

But the remaining data, the number of people who took measures based on the alert and were relieved of their condition, is also surprisingly high, reaching 80%.

The remaining 20% ​​are people who failed to see a doctor in time due to various objective reasons, or whose illness occurred beyond the first aid time and was irreversible.

It can be seen that everyone who buys a smart watch basically goes there for the health detection function. After getting a detailed and positive diagnosis, they choose to seek medical treatment, thereby saving their own lives.

From this point of view, the existence of smart watches has successfully fulfilled its mission.

Wei Kang was naturally satisfied with the results, but when he saw the extremely high proportion of young people among the sudden death patients, he frowned.

Standing where he was, he could see deeper and further than ordinary people.

The sudden death rate among young people is getting higher and higher. In addition to bad living habits, working overtime, staying up late, and fatigue are often the three major killers that accelerate sudden death.

Those who stay up all night playing games and working overtime are the ones with the highest incidence of sudden death.

Especially after comparing it with foreign data, it is even more sad.

Most of the smart watch users who receive alerts abroad have heart disease, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people. Few of them die suddenly due to fatigue or overtime work.

The main causes of myocardial infarction among their young people are obesity, various unhealthy eating habits, staying up late playing games, etc.

Looking at the comparison of domestic and foreign data, Wei Kang's originally happy mood became heavy, and he could only sigh.

It's a pity that this situation is something he clearly knows is wrong, but he is unable to change it, and it is difficult to do anything.

Maybe it's because my current strength is not strong enough and my influence is too limited to change the world.

When he slowly develops and the company's technology and products can truly trigger social change, then he can achieve his ideals.

Now, the only thing he can do is to fully promote smart watches so that everyone can prevent them in advance and save every life as much as possible.

If he didn't have a system, he might just live his own life alone.

But since we have a system and can do something meaningful for society and China, why not do it?

After many people get rich, they spend a lot of time, drink and live a life of drunkenness and dreaminess.

Or they are immersed in desire, wanting more money, more power, and higher status.

But he is different, probably because he studied at a medical university. He has always had a doctor's heart.

Therefore, when the family business was in trouble, we didn't just sell it and leave.

Instead, he worked hard until the last moment, until he was taken away by the system and reached the pinnacle of life.

He is a person with ideals and dreams, not the kind of rice bug who is driven purely by desire and is addicted to the rice vat and cannot extricate himself.

If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world. This is the simplest belief and the simplest ideal.

Sanqing Group is now rich enough that it will never be able to squander it all in a lifetime.

Being able to take this money and do something meaningful and change the world can bring him the greatest achievement and satisfaction.

"Buzz~"

Suddenly, the phone rang, and it was Academician Xie on the caller ID.

Academician Xie is an expert in the aerospace field. He suffered from Alzheimer's disease before and was cured by a drug developed by Weicome. He has kept in touch since then and even came to Sanqing Group for inspection during the award evaluation.

"Hello, Xiaowei, long time no see." Academician Xie smiled cheerfully and without any pretensions, which made people feel particularly friendly.

Wei Kang was a little confused, what did Academician Xie want to do with him? Could there be another medical problem?

"Hello, Academician Xie. It's been a long time since we last saw each other. How are you recently?"

"Haha, I can still hold on with my old bones. By the way, the recent ECG monitoring function of your Sanqing is very easy to use. My son also bought me a smart watch, which is very convenient to wear on my hand.

, you can check your physical condition at any time, and our whole family is full of praise for it.”

Before Wei Kang could speak, he asked with a hint of excitement: "Xiao Wei, our researchers here are very optimistic about this smart watch and want to try it out to see if it can be used on astronauts. I think it's very useful."

Reason, I don’t know what you think?”

Wei Kang was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Are you referring to private use or other aspects?"
