You should rest after a heart attack,
Sports are considered taboo.
For heart patients, friends and relatives around them seem to take extra care of them:
It seems that for them, life lies not in exercise, but in rest.
Do you really want to be a "greenhouse flower" when you have a heart attack?
Is it better for heart patients to rest or exercise?
Let's talk about it today
Many patients will have such a misunderstanding: if you are sick, you must have a rest.
As we all know, only emphasizing bed rest and strictly limiting physical activity can sometimes not only cure the disease, but also bring greater harm because of the reduction of exercise.
Because the cardiopulmonary function of the human body needs to be strengthened by active exercise, if you stay in bed for a long time or stay still:
On the one hand, it will lead to the decline of organ function and body function, which will seriously affect the quality of life and is not conducive to the recovery of heart function;
On the other hand, patients with heart disease are relatively accompanied by different degrees of arteriosclerosis and even vascular plaques. Long-term immobility will only aggravate the condition, and may even lead to critical diseases such as venous embolism and pulmonary embolism due to poor blood circulation.
At this time, it is necessary to restore heart function safely and effectively through scientific exercise training.
Studies have pointed out that if patients with heart disease can maintain good physical condition, the probability of a second attack can be reduced by 60%!
Because scientific exercise is beneficial to patients' physical and mental health, especially for patients with high physical disorders, exercise has many benefits.
1, exercise is the key to weight control.
2. Exercise can delay arteriosclerosis.
3. Exercise can regulate blood pressure and heart rate.
4. Exercise can also improve myocardial ischemia.
5. Exercise reduces the risk of sudden death.
Therefore, proper scientific exercise contributes to the control and recovery of heart disease.
Of course, heart patients are different from ordinary healthy people after all, and exercise should not be too casual.
Moreover, for patients with heart disease, the types and severity of heart disease are different, and the suitable exercise intensity is also different.
Therefore, it is necessary to undergo physical examination and physical assessment in the hospital (from the aspects of the patient's physical fitness, heart load, heart rate, lung function, etc.). ) in order to develop targeted exercise methods, so that patients can participate in sports more safely and effectively.
This "prescription" refers to the exercise prescription prescribed by the doctor.
Exercise prescription mainly includes two aspects, one is exercise intensity, and the other is exercise mode.
Among them, moderate exercise is very important. High intensity of exercise can easily lead to injury and even make the heart overwhelmed.
How can we judge whether the exercise intensity is moderate?
Mainly can be judged by the following three indicators:
1, bull's-eye rate: it is the heart rate to be achieved by exercise. During exercise, the heart rate will be accelerated to meet the oxygen demand of muscles. The more intense the exercise, the faster the heart rate will be. You can adjust the exercise intensity according to the bull's-eye rate specified in the exercise prescription. If the heart rate is lower than the bull's-eye rate, you can slowly increase the speed and intensity to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the exercise.
2. Talk: Exercise makes you breathe deeper and faster than usual, but don't feel short of breath. When you are exercising, you can maintain a normal conversation speed, which means that the exercise intensity is moderate at this time.
3. Self-perceived fatigue: Self-perceived fatigue score (RPE) is divided into 6-20 grades from low to high. Self-test fatigue generally chooses 13 level, which means that you feel a little tired during exercise, but you should not feel very tired.
Of course, the choice of exercise mode is also very important, and aerobic exercise is the first choice!
Aerobic exercise refers to persistent exercise aimed at enhancing the inhalation, transportation and utilization of oxygen. People need to increase the supply of oxygen during exercise. At the same time of aerobic metabolism exercise, the body itself can meet this demand by moderately increasing heartbeat and breathing, thus achieving the balance between oxygen supply and demand.
Taking running as an example, the middle and long distance running (800m, 1500m) belongs to semi-aerobic metabolism, and the longer distance is mainly anaerobic metabolism.
In fact, anaerobic exercise is not advocated in cardiac rehabilitation, because anaerobic exercise refers to the high-speed strenuous exercise of muscles in the state of "hypoxia", which may cause angina pectoris and myocardial infarction for the elderly.
In aerobic exercise beneficial to the heart, brisk walking is the safest and a wise choice for the elderly.
Of course, jogging is also a good exercise, but it is more likely to cause joint and ligament damage than brisk walking. Fast walking can make people gain ideal endurance, and will not stimulate too many harmful free radicals because of excessive exercise, and there is no danger of damaging bones and muscles.
Besides, Tai Chi, mountain climbing, Tai Ji Chuan, cycling and swimming are all good aerobic exercise options.
At the same time, pay attention to the frequency and time of exercise: only effective and regular exercise will be beneficial to the heart. It is recommended to exercise for more than 15min each time, preferably for about 30-60 min or 3 km, five times a week.
Most patients with stable heart disease and before and after cardiac surgery can carry out exercise rehabilitation programs suitable for them under the guidance of doctors, but it is not suitable for exercise if patients have the following conditions:
Patients with heart disease must be specially reminded that exercise rehabilitation has many benefits, but the lack of doctor's guidance will increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
If patients with heart disease have not been examined, they choose inappropriate exercise methods, exercise beyond the safe range, exercise at the wrong time and insufficient preparation activities, which is very likely to aggravate the primary disease, induce serious arrhythmia and even sudden death.
If conditions permit, it is recommended to carry out scientific rehabilitation exercise under the supervision of a professional cardiac rehabilitation doctor.
In a word, most patients with heart disease can improve their symptoms and delay the development of the disease by insisting on scientific and moderate exercise. But the premise is that it must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor and health supervision. Once you feel unwell, you should immediately stop exercising and seek professional assistance.
So, heart patients, don't let heart disease take the fall for your late lazy cancer, go out and enjoy the happiness and health brought by exercise.
Maybe we can control the heart disease so that it has no chance to create chaos.
For the vast number of healthy groups, the benefits of exercise are more. Now that you are well, hurry up!
