U-Lindsey Huie (osesithombeni ngenhla nomndeni wakhe) wayengumdlali webhola likanobhutshuzwayo futhi unina wezingane ezinhlanu owayephila impilo enempilo, ekhuthele. Ngakho lapho eqala ukuba nezinhlungu esifubeni kungazelelwe, into yokugcina ayeyilindele kwakuwukumelwa yinhliziyo. Isithombe sihlonishwa yi-American Heart Association Go Red for Women
- Owayengumpetha webhola likanobhutshuzwayo uLindsey Huie waba nesifo senhliziyo esibangelwa i-SCAD futhi uqwashisa nge-American Heart Association.

- Ukuqonda izimpawu nezimpawu ze-SCAD nokuthola ukwelashwa ngokushesha kubalulekile ekwelapheni lesi simo.
Njengomqeqeshi wamaqembu amaningana ebhola likanobhutshuzwayo, owayengumdlali webhola likanobhutshuzwayo wayeqeda enye yemikhuba yendodakazi yakhe futhi athuthe izinto ezisetshenziswayo kwenye inkundla ukuze aziqeqeshele okulandelayo.
Endleleni yakhe, kwadingeka agibele igquma. Ngesikhathi u-Huie efika esiqongweni segquma, wayesenenkinga yokuphefumula.
“[Ngazizwa] njengephepha elidatshulwe phakathi phakathi kwesifuba sami, futhi ngacabanga, ‘Nkulunkulu, lokhu kuyinqaba. Bekuyini lokho?’ Bese ngivele ngijuluke ngibe manzi te, futhi manje kuzwakala sengathi indlovu ihlezi esifubeni sami, futhi ibuhlungu kakhulu sengathi izovutha umlilo nangaphakathi esifubeni sami,” u-Huie etshela i-Healthline.
Ukungaphatheki kahle kwamphoqa ukuthi ahlale phakathi nenkundla yebhola, nokwathusa abazali abangomakhelwane, baphakamisa ukuthi babize i-ambulensi. Esaba ukwenza isigameko futhi ethuse izingane zakhe, u-Huie wancenga ukuthi aye ekunakekelweni okuphuthumayo esikhundleni sesibhedlela. Lapho, wathola i-ECG.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi sonke lesi sikhathi…sizozizwa singenangqondo lapho udokotela ebuya ethi nginokukhathazeka noma nginesilungulela, sengathi sizobukeka njengeziwula,” kusho u-Huie.
Esola ukuthi kunento engathi sína eyenzeke enhliziyweni yakhe, udokotela wamazisa ukuthi kwakudingeka aye egumbini labaphuthumayo. Endaweni yesigameko, ukuhlolwa kunqume ukuthi u-Huie ube nesifo senhliziyo esibangelwa ukukhishwa okuzenzakalelayo kwe-coronary artery dissection (SCAD), ukudabuka odongeni lwenhliziyo, okungahamba kancane noma kuvimbe ukugeleza kwegazi.
Nakuba abacwaningi bengazi ukuthi yini ebangela i-SCAD, i-American Heart Association (AHA) ibika ukuthi abantu ababa nalesi sifo ngokuvamile ngabesifazane abaphile kahle abanezici ezimbalwa noma abangenazo nhlobo ubungozi.
"Ezinye izifundo zithole isixhumanisi se-hormonal, esibonisa isigameko esiphezulu kwabesifazane nabesifazane abakhulelwe ababhekene noma abaseduze nomjikelezo wokuya esikhathini," udokotela wenhliziyo ovimbelayo kanye nochwepheshe we-AHA utshele i-Healthline.
, udokotela wezifo zenhliziyo ongenelelayo eNorthwestern Medicine Huntley Hospital, uthe izinga lokuvela kanye nokuphinda kwenzeke, izimbangela, umbono kanye nokuphathwa kahle kwe-SCAD akuqinisekile, ngenxa yobufakazi obulinganiselwe obukhona bokuqondisa ochwepheshe be-SCAD.ukunakekelwa kwezempilo kwabantu abane-SCAD.

Yenza i-SCAD yaziwe
USteinbaum uthe kubalulekile ukusabalalisa ulwazi nge-SCAD ukuze abesifazane bafunde ukubonana nodokotela ngokushesha uma benezimpawu ezifana nengcindezi, ukuphelelwa umoya, ukujuluka kakhulu kanye nesiyezi.
Nakuba u-Huie ayenezimpawu ezithile, washaqeka ngokuxilongwa kwakhe ngenxa yokuthi wayeneminyaka engu-36 ubudala, esesimweni esihle kakhulu, wayedla ngendlela enempilo futhi ephila impilo ye-homeopathic, ephendukela emakhambi emvelo esikhundleni semithi.
“Bengingazi ukuthi kuzoba yinkinga yenhliziyo,” kusho u-Huie.
Nokho, uma ebheka emuva, uthe ukucindezeleka kokuthwala kanzima ngesikhathi enakekela izingane zakhe ezinhlanu akuyisilungele impilo yakhe. Ukholelwa futhi ukuthi ukubuya okuqinile ebholeni elisezingeni eliphansi, ngaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi ngemuva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi, kwamcindezela kakhulu umzimba.
“Bengidlala nezingane ezifunda ekolishi… Cishe akuyona into engcono kakhulu engingayenza futhi nginesiqiniseko sokuthi lokho kuhlobene kakhulu nakho,” kusho yena.
Ukwengeza, unina, ubaba kanye nogogo nomkhulu bobabili babe nesifo senhliziyo, nakuba i-SCAD yayihlukile kulokho ababhekana nakho.
“[Nakuba i-SCAD] ingabangela isifo senhliziyo esisongela ukuphila, iziguli ezine-SCAD ngokuvamile azinazo ezinye izici eziyingozi zesifo senhliziyo. Ngenxa yokuthi kuvame ukwenzeka kwabesifazane abasebancane abangenazo izinto eziyingozi, azikho izindlela zokungenelela ezicacile ezizonciphisa ubungozi,” kusho uSteinbaum.
Ukuxilongwa kusenesikhathi kanye nokwelashwa yizinkinga ezibucayi kakhulu ku-SCAD.
“I-SCAD ingadala ukufa kungazelelwe uma ingaxilongwa futhi ilashwe ngokushesha. Funa usizo oluphuthumayo uma uba nezimpawu zokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo, noma ngabe ucabanga ukuthi awukho engcupheni yokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo,” kusho u-Zaidi.
U-Huie (osesithombeni ngenhla) wethemba ukuthi ukwabelana ngendaba yakhe kuzosiza abantu abafana naye emphakathini we-LGBTQ ukuthi banakekele impilo yabo. Isithombe sihlonishwa yi-American Heart Association Go Red for Women
Ukumela abesifazane kanye nomphakathi we-LGBTQ
Ngemva kokuchitha izinsuku ezingu-2 esibhedlela futhi ethatha amasonto angu-2 ukuze alulame, u-Huie waqala ukucwaninga isifo senhliziyo.
Ukuthola ukuthi isifo senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi siyimbangela ehamba phambili yokufa kwabesifazane, okubangela ukufa koyedwa kwabathathu unyaka ngamunye, kwamkhuthaza ukuba abelane ngolwazi lwakhe nabanye besifazane. Ujoyine uhlelo lwe-American Heart Association (AHA).
“[Enye] yezinto ezinkulu engizifundile ngokuba yingxenye ye-Go Red for Women movement ukwazi izinombolo zakho – i-cholesterol ephelele, i-HDL yakho, i-cholesterol enhle, umfutho wegazi lakho, ushukela wakho wegazi kanye nesisindo somzimba wakho,” Kusho uHuie.
USteinbaum uthe i-Go Red for Women igqugquzela abesifazane ukuthi benze izinguquko ezinhle ezimpilweni zabo ukuze bathole impilo engcono yenhliziyo.
“Siyazi ukuthi abesifazane abathathu kwaba-3 abahlangabezana ne-Go Red benza izinguquko endleleni yokuphila ukuze zibe nomthelela omuhle empilweni yabo. Ukuqwashisa nokufundisa kuhloswe ngakho ukunika abantu amandla okulawula izinhliziyo zabo, hhayi kuphela ngokwenza izinguquko zendlela yokuphila, kodwa futhi bazihlomise ngolwazi abaludingayo ukuze bazivikele,” kusho uSteinbaum.
Lapho abesifazane beqonda ngokwengeziwe ubungozi babo besifo senhliziyo, izimpawu, ukuthi bangasilawula kanjani ngokukhetha indlela yokuphila, nokuthi bangaluthola kanjani usizo futhi nini uma benezimpawu, kuba namandla amakhulu okunciphisa izibalo ezikhathazayo ezimangalisayo mayelana nabesifazane nesifo senhliziyo, wengeza.
U-Zaidi uthe kwesinye isikhathi abesifazane baphathwa isifo senhliziyo ngendlela ehlukile kunabesilisa.
“Abesifazane mancane amathuba okuthi kunabesilisa bazwe ubuhlungu besifuba, futhi maningi amathuba okuba bazwe ubuhlungu beqolo noma besisu, ukucindezela kwesifuba noma ukucinana, isiyezi, ukukhathala, ukungagayeki kahle kokudla, isicanucanu noma ukuphelelwa umoya,” usho kanje.
Njengengxenye ye-Go Red for Women, u-Huie uthemba futhi ukunika amandla abantu emphakathini we-LGBTQ ukuze banakekele impilo yabo.
Ngokusho kuka-, cishe u-13% wabantu abadala be-LGBTQ babika ukunqatshelwa ukunakekelwa kwezempilo noma ukuthola ukunakekelwa okungalungile ngenxa yokukhetha kwabo ubulili noma ubunikazi bobulili. Phakathi kwabahlanganyeli be-transgender, lelo nani lenyuke lafinyelela ku-40%.
“Ucwaningo oluningi aluqoqi ubunikazi bobulili, ubulili obabelwe ngesikhathi sokuzalwa, kanye nezimo zobulili zamanje. Lokhu kuvimbela abacwaningi ukuthi bafunde ngokunembile impilo nezifo zabantu be-LGBTQ,” kusho u-Huie.
