Aunt Wang, who has just passed the age of 60, has always had good physical fitness, but at the request of her children and grandchildren, she regularly goes to the hospital every year to do a complete physical examination, and occasionally goes to the hospital to check her heart and lung function.
In this year's physical examination, Dr. Li, who often checked Aunt Wang's body, took the report sheet and said to Aunt Wang: "Aunt Wang, your physical examination report is out." “
Aunt Wang is also familiar with these physical examinations, laughing and saying: "In recent years, thanks to you to help me adjust my body, it has been hard." ”
Dr. Li is very careful and gentle with each patient, he found that Aunt Wang's heartbeat is a little slow in the physical examination form, and suggested: "In addition to other places, there is no big problem, that is, Aunt Wang's heart, I still recommend you to check it in detail, because your heart rate is now about 50 beats per minute, which is a little too slow." ”
After Aunt Wang listened, although she did not feel any discomfort at the moment, she still listened carefully to the doctor's opinion and went to review it in a few days.
A few days later, After the review, Aunt Wang had confirmed that she did not have any heart and lung diseases, and suddenly the big stone in her heart fell, and she happily went shopping with her children and grandchildren.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, the number of times the heart beats, directly reflect whether you are healthy! </h1>
In fact, from Dr. Li's point of view, his advice and worry are completely wrong, the number of heart beats is abnormal, whether it is too fast or too slow should advise patients to check carefully.
The heartbeat rate of normal people should be maintained at 60 to 100 beats per minute, and long-term exercise or manual workers should be 45 to 59 beats per minute.
A heartbeat rate of less than 50 beats per minute can lead to an inadequate blood supply to the heart and discomfort with dizziness, fatigue and chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially if it is less than 40 beats, which can lead to cerebral ischemia and fainting convulsions, which can lead to cardiac arrest in severe cases.
A heartbeat frequency of more than 100 beats per minute indicates tachycardia, when accelerated blood flow and increased pressure can damage the endovascular lining and cause atherosclerotic problems, especially if the contractility of the heart is increased, which can also lead to hypertrophy of the left ventricle of the heart and increase the risk of sudden death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >2. What causes abnormal heartbeats? </h1>
First, there are three reasons why the heart beats too slowly:
• Coronary heart disease, hypertension and other diseases lead to lesions in the atrial node or myocardium and affect the sinoatrial node to issue instructions, at this time the conduction block is the cause of slow heartbeat, according to the severity of the block is divided into I degree, II degree and III degree, of which the III degree is the most serious and the heartbeat is 20 to 30 times per minute, there is a risk of cardiac arrest.
• Increased vagus nerve tone in normal people can lead to a slow heartbeat, at which point the heartbeat is still strong and regular, with no less than 50 beats per minute and maintaining normal heart function.
• Sick sinus syndrome caused by lesions of the sinoatrial nodules of the heart can cause bradycardia, about 40 beats per minute, or accompanied by dizziness or even convulsions and coma.
Second, there are two reasons why the heart beats too fast:
• Physiological tachycardia: Emotional tension, stress, or additional stimuli such as coffee, cigarettes, or medications can excite the heart, causing the heart to beat more frequently.
• Pathological tachycardia: one is a heart disease such as ventricular or atrial tachycardia that causes abnormal electrical conduction in the heart and has a rapid heartbeat, and in addition, heart coronary artery disease directly leads to myocardial ischemia or causes rapid heartbeat, especially when the heart of a patient with heart failure is damaged, the number of heart beats increases to increase the output of the heart. Second, other diseases such as hyperthyroidism, high fever, anemia, etc. can increase the extra pressure on the heart and cause the heart to beat faster.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, the heart is very important, what are the tricks to nourish the heart? </h1>
1) Cigarettes and polluted air will damage the lining of blood vessels and affect blood flow, causing heart disease or causing abnormal heartbeat, so smoking cessation and staying away from polluted gases are the top priorities for maintaining the heart.
2) Obese people with too much body fat will increase the risk of high blood pressure or heart disease, so we recommend that you maintain a healthy weight in a healthy way, timely weight loss can avoid the burden of the heart, it is recommended to choose swimming, yoga and other gentle exercises and long-term adherence.
In addition, adhering to regular exercise habits in life can also prevent the formation of arterial plaque while lowering blood pressure and lipids, and avoid blood vessel blockage affecting the normal activity of the heart.
3) Diet adhere to low salt and low fat and eat less refined sugar, fat is recommended unsaturated fatty acids, and fruits and vegetables, deep-sea fish, beans, etc. are the first choice for protecting the heart and blood vessels, while paying attention to the seven or eight points of each meal is full and do not have the bad habit of overeating.
4) Staying up late will increase the workload of the heart and increase the risk of sudden death, so we need to ensure adequate sleep in our lives so that the heart can rest sufficiently and reduce the incidence of heart disease.
5) Large emotional fluctuations can easily lead to irregular heart fluctuations, which will also increase the possibility of irregular heart rhythm, so you should learn to adjust your mentality and stay away from mental stress, especially meditation and yoga are very good stress reduction activities.
Rapid and slow heartbeat is not normal and needs attention, and it is imperative to cooperate with the doctor to complete the ECG examination in time to confirm the cause and actively treat it.
