What Is Cardiac Rhythm Management?

It is important to note that heart rate refers to the frequency of the heart beat, which is divided into fast and slow; heart rate refers to the rhythm of the heart beat, whether the rhythm is neat or not. There is no failure of heart rate and rhythm. The correct medical term is: atrial failure

It is important to note that heart rate refers to the frequency of the heart beat, which is divided into fast and slow; heart rate refers to the rhythm of the heart beat, whether the rhythm is neat or not. There is no failure of heart rate and rhythm. The correct medical term is:

Heart failure is the most serious manifestation of heart disease and is medically called "

Human life is closely related to heart rate, experts teach you how to manage your heartbeat. The total number of heartbeats in a person's life is about 2.5 billion to 3 billion times. If the resting heart rate is about 60 times, the life expectancy can reach 93 years, the resting heart rate is slow, and the life expectancy is prolonged. The resting heart rate is greater than 80 times. Life will be shortened. A large number of clinical studies have also confirmed that people with a high resting heart rate have a significantly increased risk of developing various cardiovascular diseases. Experts point out that young people should also pay attention to "managing the heartbeat" to keep the heart rate at an ideal level.

1 The slower the heartbeat of an animal, the longer the life span, but a person who is too fast or too slow is not good. The resting heart rate is 60 times and the life span can reach 93 years.

Scientists have long found that small mammals such as rats and rabbits have a fast heart rate, which can reach hundreds of times per minute, but their life span is only 1 to 3 years. In contrast, large mammals such as whales are very heavy and have a slow heart rate, only about 20 times per minute, but their life span can reach 30 to 40 years. A turtle named Grapagos can live up to 177 years, and its heartbeat is only 6 times per minute. Although this phenomenon has not been fully elucidated, a corollary has been proposed to people-slow heartbeat and long life.

"Managing the heart is a big part of managing the heartbeat." Li Ximing, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Drum Tower Hospital, pointed out that many patients have awareness of preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but many people do not understand that the health of heart rate is important There is also a great deal of control.

What is the heart rate? Experts say that every pulse of a person represents an effective heart beat, and the number of heart beats per minute is the heart rate. Some studies suggest that the resting heart rate (heart rate in a quiet state) of normal adults has the longest life span of about 60 times, and the life expectancy can reach 93 years (of course, on the basis of excluding other diseases). But in general, resting heart rate is ideally controlled at 55-70 times. If less than 45 times per minute, there may be a risk of arrhythmia.

People who exercise regularly will have a slower heart rate, but are energetic without any discomfort, which is a kind of physical bradycardia.

2Heart rate is too fast, high blood pressure is likely to occur, and sudden death is more likely

In recent years, more and more medical research results suggest that a faster resting heart rate can increase the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease, and cause serious harm to health. Qian Weichong, deputy chief physician of the Cardiovascular Department of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, told reporters that the rapid heart rate reflects the active sympathetic nerves in the body. Sympathetic excitement will secrete a large amount of catecholamines such as epinephrine and norepinephrine. Under the action of these hormones, heart rate will increase, blood pressure will increase, and breathing will increase. When the sympathetic nerve continues to be active and the level of adrenaline secretion continues to increase significantly, the heart's consumption also increases at the same time.

Sympathetic nerve activity and hypertension are a causal relationship. The chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Gulou Hospital, Li Ximing pointed out that if the heart rate is too fast, the risk of high blood pressure is high, and conversely, high blood pressure will cause damage to heart function.

Sudden death is the most severe type of coronary heart disease, and sympathetic nerve overactivation is closely related to sudden death. "There have been statistical studies. Whenever major events such as earthquakes, the number of deaths due to heart disease will rise." Director Li Ximing said that the sudden death of many young people has sounded the alarm for us, and young people are now under pressure to live and work. Both are very large, long-term sympathetic nerve excitement leads to elevated blood pressure, so young people should pay more attention to the management of heart rate.

Norwegian researchers tested the resting heart rate of 30,000 people twice in 10 years, and found that people who had a heartbeat of less than 70 beats per minute 10 years ago, if the heartbeat increased to 85 after 10 years, then the heart disease The risk of dying from illness will double; for people who had a heart rate between 70 and 85 beats per minute 10 years ago, if the heart rate increased to more than 85 beats per minute after 10 years, the probability of death would also increase by 80% . If the resting heart rate decreases, the effect is just the opposite. A person with a heartbeat of 70 to 85 beats per minute 10 years ago would have a 40% reduction in the risk of heart disease death if he fell below 70 beats per minute after 10 years.

3 Exercise heart rate "170-age", over-exertion, insufficient effect

How to measure resting heart rate? Generally self-test pulse is enough. Before getting up in the morning, press your index finger and middle finger on the pulse to measure how many pulses beat in one minute. You can also simply measure the number of beats in 10 seconds and multiply by 6. However, patients with atrial fibrillation and ventricular premature beats may cause inconsistent pulse and heart rate. Qian Weichong, deputy chief physician of the Cardiovascular Department of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, told reporters that many elderly people now have electronic sphygmomanometers at home, which will display the heart rate, which can be measured before getting up in the morning.

Resting heart rate is not good too fast, too slow is not good. If it is less than 45 times per minute, it may indicate that there is bradyarrhythmia, which may cause cardiac arrest, and it also needs attention. So what can I do to keep my resting heart rate around 60?

The first is through exercise. Often participate in a variety of aerobic exercises of appropriate intensity, so that the heart function is exercised. The chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Gulou Hospital, Li Ximing said that in general, exercise heart rate is also particular. Generally, the exercise heart rate is "170-age". For example, a 50-year-old person should control the exercise heart rate at 120 times, which means that the amount of exercise is too large. No effect can be achieved. Before exercise, you should feel comfortable and free of fatigue. Generally, exercise should not exceed 1 hour, and the optimal time for each exercise is 30 minutes to 60 minutes, and you should exercise at least 3 times a week.

Followed by maintaining proper weight. Obesity will increase the burden on the heart and increase the heart rate. Therefore, obese people should maintain proper weight through fitness exercises and diet adjustment. Also pay attention to smoking cessation and alcohol restriction.
