Research Progress on the Prevention and Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease in the Elderly in Cold Regions

冠心病是老年人常见且致死率较高的心血管疾病之一，寒冷环境对冠心病的发生、发展和临床预后均具有重要影响。寒地地区因气温低导致血管收缩、血液黏稠度增加以及交感神经活性增强，使老年人更易发生冠心病及其并发症。文章综述了寒地老年冠心病的流行病学特点、发病机制、预防策略及治疗方法，并探讨了中西医结合防治的研究进展。通过分析近年来国内相关研究成果，以期为寒区老年冠心病的综合管理提供理论依据和临床参考。Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the common cardiovascular diseases with a relatively high mortality rate among the elderly. The cold environment has a significant impact on the occurrence, development, and clinical prognosis of CHD. In cold regions, due to low temperatures, vasoconstriction, increased blood viscosity, and enhanced sympathetic nerve activity, the elderly are more prone to CHD and its complications. This article reviews the epidemiological characteristics, pathogenesis, preventive strategies, and treatment methods of CHD in the elderly in cold regions and also explores the research progress in the prevention and treatment of CHD through the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. By analyzing the relevant domestic research achievements in recent years, it can provide a theoretical basis and clinical reference for the comprehensive management of CHD in the elderly in cold regions.
