Is cardiac oxygen consumption dangerous?

Whether high myocardial oxygen consumption is dangerous depends on the cause. Physiological causes are usually not dangerous, pathological causes may be dangerous and need to be evaluated and treated. People at risk should pay attention to and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Whether high myocardial oxygen consumption is dangerous needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. High myocardial oxygen consumption may be physiological or pathological. If it is caused by physiological reasons, such as strenuous exercise, emotional excitement, pregnancy, cold, etc., it is usually temporary and will not cause much impact on the body. After removing the trigger, the myocardial oxygen consumption will return to normal. If it is caused by pathological reasons, such as coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, etc., it may lead to myocardial ischemia, hypoxia, or even myocardial infarction, seriously affecting heart function and endangering life. In addition, high myocardial oxygen consumption may also be related to other diseases, such as anemia, hyperthyroidism, etc. Therefore, if high myocardial oxygen consumption is found, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time, conduct comprehensive examination and evaluation to determine the cause, and take corresponding treatment measures. For people with family history of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other high-risk factors, more attention should be paid to the changes in myocardial oxygen consumption, regular physical examination, so as to early detection and early treatment. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as smoking cessation and alcohol restriction, moderate exercise, low-salt and low-fat diet, can also help reduce myocardial oxygen consumption and prevent cardiovascular disease.
