Doing sports with cardiac arrhythmia

The heart is one of the most important organs of the human body. Every day it commits up to 100,000 cuts and pumps over 8,000 liters of blood. Therefore, to disrupt the work of this body is no wonder. It is believed that regular exercise in cardiac arrhythmia improves health, warns of various cardiovascular problems. Yes this is true. However, not everything is so simple and simple.

What doctors say about doing sports with cardiac arrhythmia

It has long been noticed by doctors that exercise affects the heart rate. The achievements of sports cardiology help to understand more deeply the changes in blood vessels and heart in people involved in sports.

Research in this area has shown that there is the most direct link between diligence and the number of hours given to the sport and the immediate occurrence of the most frequent heart rhythm disorder - atrial fibrillation. But the only radical treatment for this ailment is cardiac surgery.

The most common type of cardiac arrhythmias is atrial fibrillation. With this disease, most often apply for emergency medical care. Usually, this disease is combined with arterial hypertension, heart defects or old age. However, more than a third of patients with atrial fibrillation, experts do not find the obvious cause of this disease. Studies have shown that such patients are actively engaged in sports. Hence, we can conclude that with cardiac arrhythmia, prolonged stress on the body is not recommended. Therefore, active sports can be not only useful, but also harmful. With cardiac arrhythmia, sports are categorically contraindicated.

What physical exercises are acceptable for cardiac arrhythmia

There is a big difference between physical education and sports. As we have already said, active sports with cardiac arrhythmia are contraindicated, but light and purposeful exercise is even very useful. However, the patient should not overstrain himself. But to be mobile and cheerful - necessary. Of course, physical activity depends on the form and degree of the disease. All this is very individual, therefore what physical exertion is acceptable for you, can be solved directly only by a specialist( attending physician).Naturally, such people should not dream of high Olympic achievements.

In the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia, in addition to various medications and diets, it is mandatory to use exercise therapy.

Perhaps the most effective means of restoring the body with cardiac arrhythmia is walking. No wonder that in each sanatorium there are specially made walkways. Walking should be strictly dosed. It is reasonable to start from small distances. Then every day increase the passed meters. Do not forget to monitor your general condition and pulse every day. At the very beginning, walking should be slow to avoid shortness of breath or other unpleasant sensations. Then, from day to day, slowly add a step. Before the start of training, be sure to consult a doctor about the permissible workload for you personally. After all, only a specialist can do this correctly and reasonably.

For walking you can prepare an uncomplicated exercise. Sit on a chair and alternately unbend and bend the legs in the knee joints in such a way as if already going. The staircase of your house is a wonderful simulator with cardiac arrhythmia. Even if you have an elevator in your house, always try to go down and climb only on foot on the stairs. Of course, heroism is not worth it. Begin your descent and ascent from a few steps and add 2-3 more each day. The main thing is that the load increases slowly and correctly.
