When you stop looking for yourself, you will find the entire universe because what you are looking for is also looking for you. Anything you do persevere every day can open a door to the depths of your spirit. In silence, I slipped into the secret realm, and I enjoyed everything to observe the magic around me, and didn't make any noise. Why do you like to crawl when you are born with wings? The soul has its own ears and can hear things that the mind cannot understand. Seek inward for the answer to everything, everything in the universe is in you. Lovers do not end up meeting somewhere, and there is no parting in this world. A wound is where light enters your heart.
Chronic heart failure is not just a problem of the speed of heart rate! It is caused by the decrease in myocardial contraction and diastolic function, which leads to insufficient cardiac output, which in turn causes congestion in the pulmonary circulation and congestion in the systemic circulation. From causes, inducement to compensation mechanisms, the pathophysiological processes of heart failure are complex and diverse. By controlling edema, reducing the heart's front and afterload, improving cardiac comfort function, and preventing and treating basic causes, we can effectively respond to this challenge. Only by understanding the mechanisms and clinical manifestations of heart failure and mastering prevention and treatment strategies can we better protect heart health.
Ischemia-reperfusion injury is a phenomenon that cellular function and metabolic disorders and structural damage will worsen after organs or tissues restore blood supply. Its main mechanisms include increased free radical generation, calcium overload, and the role of microvascular and leukocytes. The heart and brain are common damaged organs, manifested as changes in myocardial metabolism and ultrastructural changes, decreased cardiac function, etc. Prevention and control measures include removing free radicals, reducing calcium overload, improving metabolism and controlling reperfusion conditions, such as low sodium, low temperature, low pressure, etc. Understanding these mechanisms can help develop effective treatment options and alleviate ischemic injury.

IE Matrix: An analysis tool that identifies the distribution status of an enterprise
1. Concept meaning
IE matrix (Internal - External Matrix) is an internal-external matrix, developed based on the GE matrix. Business strength represents the competitiveness of the enterprise (internal factors), and market attractiveness indicates the development status and trend of the enterprise's industry (external factors). The horizontal axis is the total weighted score of IFE, divided into three levels: strong, medium and weak; the vertical axis is the total weighted score of EFE, divided into three levels: high, medium and low, with a total of nine squares.
2. Tool analysis
IFE weighted score 1.0 - 1.99 represents the internal disadvantage of the enterprise, 2.0 - 2.99 represents the medium status, 3.0 - 4.0 represents the dominant status; EFE weighted score 1.0 - 1.99 represents the serious external threat of the enterprise, 2.0 - 2.99 represents the medium external threat, 3.0 - 3.99 means that the company can better reduce the adverse effects of external threats. The higher the EFE weighted value, the more obvious the advantages of the enterprise's external environment; the higher the IFE weighted value, the stronger the comprehensive strength and competitiveness of the enterprise.
3. Tool application
The IE matrix can be divided into three intervals with different strategic significance. Nine quadrants are used to classify the enterprise's products or businesses and divide them into three types. Enterprises adopt different strategies for business in different intervals:
- Businesses falling into quadrants 1, 2 and 4 are growth-oriented and established businesses, and should adopt strengthening strategies, integration strategies or investment/expansion strategies.
- Businesses falling into quadrants 3, 5, and 7 are suitable for persistence and retention strategies or choice/profit strategies.
- Businesses falling into quadrants 6, 8, and 9 should adopt a harvest and divest strategy or a harvest/abandon strategy.
4. Relationship with BCG matrix
4.1 The relationship between the two
IE matrix and BCG matrix both use matrix methods to classify enterprise products or business, and evaluate them from both internal and external aspects. They are combination matrix analysis methods, which can be used to analyze enterprise business portfolio strategies and determine business development strategies.
4.2 The difference between the two
The IE matrix analyzes internal and external factors from a comprehensive perspective, and requires more information; the vertical axis and horizontal axis of the BCG matrix are divided into two situations: high and low, forming four quadrant analysis, while the IE matrix is divided into three situations: high and low, forming nine quadrants. And divided into three strategic intervals to analyze.
V. Applicable situation
The IE matrix can be used for existing business analysis, or it can evaluate the expected development of the business, helping enterprises determine strategic direction, conduct dynamic analysis and strategic adjustments, and determine a reasonable business combination. Large companies often establish BCG and IE matrices at the same time, using them to reflect current and future situations, and analyze the impact of strategic decisions on corporate division combinations.
6. EFE matrix
6.1 Conceptual meaning
The External Factor Evaluation Matrix is an external factor evaluation matrix. It is a tool for analyzing the external environment. It can help strategy makers summarize and evaluate multiple information, and determine the weights by finding key factors in opportunities and threats. Rating and calculating the total weighted score to characterize the entire attractiveness of the company.
6.2 Analysis steps
1. List 10 - 20 external key factors, including opportunities and threats. List opportunities first and then threats, and try to be specific.
2. Assign each factor a weight of 0.0 - 1.0 according to its importance. Opportunity weight is usually higher, but serious threats may also receive high weights. The sum of weights of all factors is 1.
3. According to the effective response degree of key factors of the company's current strategy, score it with 1-4. 4 means good response and 1 means poor response.
4. Calculate the weighted scores of each factor (weight × score), and add all factor weighted scores to get the total weighted scores of the company. The total weighted score range is 1.0 - 4.0, with an average score of 2.5. Above 2.5, indicating that the company can respond to external influencing factors.
7. IFE matrix
7.1 Conceptual meaning
IFE matrix (Internal Factor Evaluation Matrix) is an internal factor evaluation matrix. It is a tool for analyzing internal factors. By finding out key factors in terms of advantages and disadvantages, determining weights, calculating the total weighted scores, and typing out the enterprise's All gravity.
7.2 Analysis steps
1. List 10 - 20 internal key factors, including strengths and weaknesses. List the strengths first, then the weaknesses, and try to be specific.
2. Give each factor a weight of 0.0 - 1.0, and the factors that have a great impact on the company's performance have a high weight, and the sum of all weights is 1.0.
3. Score each factor, 1 point represents an important weakness, 2 points represents a secondary weakness, 3 points represents a secondary advantage, 4 points represents an important advantage, the advantage score must be 4 or 3, and the weakness score must be 1 or 2.
4. Calculate the weighted scores of each factor (weight × score), and add all factor weighted scores to get the total weighted scores of the company. The total weighted score range is 1.0 - 4.0, with an average score of 2.5. The score is much lower than 2.5. The internal situation of the company is weak, and higher than 2.5, it is strong.
8. Case analysis
8.1 External factors analysis of new products on the market (EFE)
Taking Gillette’s induction shaver as an example, analyzing the external opportunities and threats it faces, and computing the total weighted division is 3.15, indicating that Gillette responds well in utilizing existing opportunities and avoiding threats.
8.2 Internal factors analysis of new products on the market (IFE)
Analyzing the internal advantages and weaknesses of Gillette's induction shaver on the market, the total weighted segment is 3.10, indicating that Gillette's internal conditions are in a strong advantage and have the inherent conditions for new products to be launched.
