Golden lotus can cause the following physical changes in heart disease patients:
1、 The impact on the cardiovascular system
1. Improve myocardial blood supply
-Golden lotus contains flavonoids and other components that have the effect of dilating coronary arteries. For patients with coronary heart disease, the dilation of coronary arteries means that the heart muscles can receive more adequate blood supply. For example, when myocardial ischemia leads to angina attacks, Golden Thread Lotus improves coronary blood flow, alleviates symptoms of myocardial ischemia, and reduces discomfort such as chest pain and tightness.
-Meanwhile, the golden lotus may also promote the establishment of collateral circulation. The collateral circulation is like a 'backup pathway', which can provide additional blood perfusion paths for the myocardium when the main coronary artery is narrowed or blocked, further improving the blood supply to the myocardium.
2. Regulating blood lipids and preventing thrombosis
-Golden lotus has a certain regulatory effect on blood lipids. Hyperlipidemia is an important risk factor for heart disease, which can lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. The components in Anoectochilus roxburghii reduce cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipid components in the blood, and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
-In addition, golden lotus also has the potential to prevent thrombosis. Thrombosis is one of the key factors leading to serious heart diseases such as myocardial infarction. Golden lotus can inhibit platelet aggregation, prevent thrombus formation, maintain vascular patency, and reduce the risk of heart attack.
2、 Potential regulatory effects on cardiac function
1. Enhance myocardial contractility
-In theory, some components in lotus root can have a positive inotropic effect on myocardial cells, enhancing myocardial contractility. For patients with heart failure, the pumping function of the heart is weakened, and lotus root may assist in improving the pumping ability of the heart.
-However, this effect is relatively complex and requires more research to clarify its specific mechanisms and effects. Moreover, enhancing myocardial contractility requires caution as excessive enhancement may increase the oxygen consumption of the myocardium, which can have adverse effects on the heart.
2. Adjust heart rate and rhythm
-Golden lotus has a certain regulatory effect on the electrophysiological activity of the heart. Arrhythmia is a common problem in heart disease, and lotus root may stabilize the membrane potential of myocardial cells and reduce the occurrence of arrhythmia. For example, for patients with arrhythmia such as premature beats and atrial fibrillation, Jinlian regulates the autonomic nervous function of the heart, making the heart rate more regular and reducing symptoms such as palpitations.
3、 Improvement in overall physical condition
1. Reduce inflammatory response
-The occurrence and development of heart disease are often accompanied by inflammatory processes. The anti-inflammatory effect of lotus root can alleviate inflammation in the heart tissue and surrounding blood vessels. The infiltration of inflammatory cells and the release of inflammatory mediators can damage the heart and vascular tissues. Goldenrod helps protect the heart and blood vessels and delay the progression of heart disease by inhibiting the inflammatory response.
-For example, in heart diseases closely related to inflammation such as rheumatic heart disease, the anti-inflammatory effect of lotus root can reduce inflammation damage to heart valves and improve heart function.
2. Enhance immunity
-Golden lotus can enhance the body's immune system. For patients with heart disease, the enhancement of the body's immune system helps to resist the invasion of pathogens and prevent the occurrence of infectious heart diseases such as infective endocarditis. Meanwhile, a strong immune system is also beneficial for the body's recovery after a heart attack, promoting the repair of damaged heart tissue.
It should be noted that the therapeutic effect of golden lotus on heart disease is auxiliary and cannot replace regular heart disease treatment drugs and methods. If suffering from heart disease, comprehensive treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
