Under normal circumstances, the slower the heart rate, the lower the mortality rate. A relatively slow heart rate contributes to coronary blood supply. Take angina pectoris as an example. The essence of angina pectoris is myocardial hypoxia. The slower the heartbeat, the less oxygen consumption. When the heart is no longer hypoxic, angina pectoris can be relieved. Therefore, for patients with coronary heart disease, it is best to reduce the heart rate by about 55-60 beats/min, so that the myocardial oxygen consumption is less, which is helpful for coronary blood supply. The older the elderly patients with coronary heart disease, the higher the risk of coronary heart disease. A little carelessness can easily lead to cardiac arrest. Therefore, in daily life, elderly patients with coronary heart disease should pay special attention to lowering the heart rate and keeping a calm mind.
In addition, coronary heart disease is prone to diabetes, hypertension, chronic heart failure and other diseases, and must be actively prevented in daily life.
1. Good living habits. Elderly patients with coronary heart disease should try to work and rest regularly, go to bed early and get up early to ensure adequate sleep and avoid sedentary.
2. Don't smoke or drink. Alcohol and tobacco do great harm to patients with coronary heart disease. Smoking will aggravate myocardial hypoxia, and drinking will cause atherosclerosis and damage myocardial function. So try not to smoke or drink.
3. Keep inner peace. An optimistic attitude is of great help to the cardiovascular system. Patients with coronary heart disease should try not to get angry or get angry. Especially for the elderly, sudden anger will raise blood pressure, accelerate heart rate and increase the burden on the heart, thus causing angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. So everyone should live a positive and optimistic life.
4. Go to the hospital for reexamination regularly. For elderly patients with coronary heart disease, it is recommended to go to the hospital for physical examination every six months or one year, and check blood sugar, blood lipid, electrocardiogram, and heart color ultrasound. , can effectively prevent some complications.
