1, cause of arrhythmia
1, noise
Although most of the noise in life is not too strong to bear, studies show that long-term noise will have adverse effects on the nervous system and cardiovascular system, and can lead to abnormalities in the autonomy and autonomic nervous function of myocardial cells, thus causing arrhythmia. Therefore, patients with arrhythmia should not only take treatment drugs on time, but also pay attention to avoid places where noise is concentrated.
2. High spirits
Patients should avoid high emotions, and some intense scenes will inevitably make patients nervous, which will lead to arrhythmia. Therefore, some patients should avoid mental hyperactivity, which is also the cause of arrhythmia.
3, lack of sleep
Irregular working hours can easily lead to insufficient sleep or even insomnia, which is not conducive to the stability and treatment of diseases and is also an important cause of arrhythmia.
4, heatstroke
It refers to the syndrome caused by the dysfunction of the body's temperature regulation center and sweating and heat dissipation at high temperature. Severe heatstroke is caused by extensive nervous system injury, acidosis, hypertonic dehydration, hyponatremia and hypokalemia caused by high fever, which can cause arrhythmia. Most of them are sinus tachycardia in the early stage, and they can show various arrhythmia in the late stage.
5. Altitude sickness
It refers to the disease that the body can't adapt to the acute and chronic reaction to hypoxia when climbing on the plateau above 3000 meters. Due to the obvious reduction of atmospheric pressure and atmospheric oxygen partial pressure, arterial oxygen partial pressure and oxygen saturation in plateau area, the heart is damaged by hypoxia, which leads to various types of arrhythmia. It is reported that the incidence of arrhythmia can reach 70%-95%, among which sinus tachycardia is the most common, followed by various types of premature beats, conduction block, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and even ventricular spontaneous rhythm, ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest.
6, drowning
When people suddenly drown in fresh water, low water seepage enters the blood circulation and destroys a large number of red blood cells, leading to intravascular hemolysis, and then hyperkalemia leads to ventricular fibrillation; After seawater drowning, high water seepage containing a lot of sodium chloride, calcium and magnesium salts enters the blood circulation, which can lead to various bradycardia, conduction block and cardiac arrest. At the same time, no matter what type of drowning, alveoli are filled with a lot of fluid, and reflex spasm of larynx or trachea can cause severe hypoxia and contribute to arrhythmia.
7. Abnormal heartbeat signal
Arrhythmia occurs when the electrical signal controlling the heartbeat is delayed or blocked. If this happens, on the one hand, the special nerve cells that generate cardiac electrical signals may not work normally, on the other hand, cardiac electrical signals may not be transmitted normally in the heart. Other parts of the heart begin to produce electrical signals, or the electrical signals from special nerve cells will spread abnormally, interfering with the normal beating of the heart and causing arrhythmia.
2. Measures to prevent arrhythmia
1, self-monitoring
When arrhythmia is not easy to be caught, it is best for patients to find their own problems. Some arrhythmias often have premonitory symptoms. If we can find out and take measures in time, we can reduce or even avoid the recurrence of arrhythmia. Patients with atrial fibrillation often have premonitory signs or symptoms, such as palpitation, and the absence of pulse condition increases. At this time, the prevention of arrhythmia needs early rest, and taking diazepam tablets orally can prevent it before it happens.
Step 2 be in a good mood
Keeping a happy mood often can avoid emotional injury and reduce the incidence. Therefore, we should try our best to be optimistic, open-minded, happy and ambitious, cultivate one's morality and maintain peace of mind. People who are already sick should have a firm belief in overcoming the disease.
Step 3 work and rest moderately
This is an important condition to ensure human blood circulation, smooth flow of qi and peace of five internal organs. Patients with mild arrhythmia can take appropriate physical activities to avoid high-intensity exercise and strenuous activity. Patients with severe illness should stay in bed or take simple and gentle health exercises.
4. Suitable environment
A suitable living environment can ensure normal work and study and promote health and longevity. An environment suitable for human habitation should be fresh air, clean water, good vegetation, sufficient sunshine, good indoor ventilation, reasonable lighting and neat articles.
5, reasonable work and rest
The basic requirement of health preservation is to have regular daily life and ensure adequate sleep and rest. Only by living regularly, and sometimes getting up and lying down, can we regulate the body to the maximum extent and improve the body's disease resistance.
6, scientific diet
The diet should be suitable for people, with comprehensive nutrition and five flavors. Dining should also be regular, quantitative and hygienic, eat less and eat more, avoid being too greasy, too greasy, too sweet and too cold, and quit smoking and limit alcohol. Proper amount of heart-nourishing, blood-nourishing and heart-yin-nourishing foods, such as yam, lotus seeds, millet, jujube, longan and walnut.
7. Rational use of drugs
The treatment of arrhythmia emphasizes individualization of medication, and some patients are often willing to accept patients' suggestions and change their medication and dosage. It is dangerous to do so. To prevent arrhythmia, you must take the medicine as required, and pay attention to the reaction after taking the medicine. Some antiarrhythmic drugs sometimes cause arrhythmia, so they should be used as little as possible to achieve reasonable compatibility.
3. Diet to prevent arrhythmia
1, eat more fish
When the blood flow to the heart is blocked, it is most likely to cause arrhythmia, which is also one of the reasons for heart attack. An animal research experiment shows that taking a large amount of fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids) in daily diet is helpful to prevent serious arrhythmia that may lead to heart attack. Bian Xiao suggested replacing beef, chicken and dairy products with salmon and mackerel in one week 1~3 meals, which could reduce the intake of saturated fat in the diet. At the same time, the intake of omega-3 fatty acids was increased. If you want to take some supplements containing fish oil, you should consult your doctor about the specific dosage first.
2. Eat more foods containing potassium.
Potassium is as important as magnesium in regulating heartbeat. Irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness and confusion are typical symptoms of potassium deficiency in human body. Unlike magnesium, the kidney can effectively regulate the potassium content in the human body, and the human body usually stores some potassium. Therefore, for people with normal renal function and healthy heart, the potassium content in blood is usually sufficient, even if they only eat fruits and vegetables 1-2 times a day, they can keep the potassium content in their bodies normal. Only when the function of storing potassium in the kidney is disturbed will the human body have symptoms of low potassium content, which will lead to arrhythmia.
The daily demand for potassium is 3500 mg. Studies have shown that different people's daily intake of potassium varies greatly, ranging from 1 1,000 mg to 3,400 mg. Doctors suggest that in order to prevent arrhythmia, we should eat more foods rich in potassium, such as fruits, vegetables and fresh meat. Drinking more fruit juice can also greatly increase the daily intake of potassium.
Banana is a kind of fruit that people like. Bananas contain carbohydrates that are easily absorbed by the human body and are also rich in potassium. Studies have shown that low potassium can cause muscle pain, slow response and arrhythmia, and eating a few bananas can supplement the lack of potassium.
3. Eat more cereal.
A study shows that when magnesium is used to treat certain types of arrhythmia, it can save the lives of many patients. During the experiment, the researchers observed that the possibility of potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmia in patients with heart failure was reduced by 50%-76% compared with patients who did not receive intravenous injection.
Men should take 329 mg of magnesium every day, and women should take 207 mg. The foods with the highest magnesium content are beans, nuts and unground grains. Bananas and laver are also good food sources; In addition, foods rich in magnesium include millet, dried peppers, dried mushrooms, mushrooms, tomatoes, kelp, apples, carambola, longan, peanuts, walnuts and sesame sauce.
4. Balanced nutrition
In daily life, patients with arrhythmia should pay attention to balanced nutrition, drink more water, eat more light food and fruits and vegetables, eat more heart-warming substances in food, and supplement some yam, jujube, lotus seed, lily, fungus, pear, carrot, sesame and so on. , thus promoting diuresis and relaxing bowels, clearing away heat and detoxifying. Replacing beef, chicken and dairy products with salmon and mackerel can reduce the intake of saturated fat and increase the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, which helps to prevent serious arrhythmia that may lead to heart attack.

5, stay away from the "three spicy"
The main condiments of Sichuan cuisine are "Sanjiao", namely "Zanthoxylum bungeanum, pepper and pepper". Excessive consumption of these spicy items will stimulate the cardiovascular system, lead to a short-term drop in blood pressure and a slow heartbeat, thus changing the self-discipline of myocardial cells and myocardial blood supply, and eventually lead to arrhythmia, which is even more unfavorable to people with arrhythmia.
In addition, "three peppers" are spicy foods, which are easy to cause constipation. Constipation patients may increase the load of the heart when holding their breath and defecating, affect the blood supply of the myocardium, and cause serious arrhythmia. Therefore, patients with heart disease should give priority to light diet at ordinary times, try to reduce the stimulation of spicy diet to the heart, and take drugs that can regulate the self-discipline of myocardial cells and improve the blood supply of myocardial cells.
4. Poor heart function
First of all, when you lie down, you will be short of breath.
The patient is short of breath after lying flat for a few minutes, and can only be relieved slightly after sitting up. At this time, the patient may have heart failure. This is due to the increase of cardiac blood volume when lying down, which leads to the increase of airway resistance and shortness of breath. At this time, you should go to the cardiology department in time to rule out the possibility of lung disease.
Second, the chest is as heavy as a big stone.
It is commonly known as "chest tightness". If the changes of other organs such as emotional factors and respiratory system function are excluded, the patient may have myocardial ischemia at this time. If the chest tightness cannot be relieved for several minutes, or even severe chest pain occurs, angina pectoris or even acute myocardial infarction (referred to as "myocardial infarction") is likely to occur. You should call 120 as soon as possible and get to the nearest hospital. If possible, you can take nitroglycerin tablets or quick-acting jiuxin pills yourself.
Third, clothes and shoes suddenly become tight.
When clothes and shoes become tight, many people's first reaction may be that they are getting fat, but for heart patients, this may indicate impaired heart function. This is due to the decrease of cardiac output (the total amount of blood discharged from the ventricle every minute), the decrease of renal blood flow, the decrease of water discharged from the body, edema of lower limbs and weight gain (especially more than 2 kg in 3 days), which requires timely medical treatment.
Fourth, loss of appetite.
Patients with impaired cardiac function may have abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, constipation, epigastric pain and other symptoms, which are mostly caused by right heart failure and gastrointestinal congestion.
Fifth, dizziness
Dizziness is common in daily life, and poor sleep, cervical spondylosis and high blood pressure are common reasons. However, dizziness with obvious hypotension may be caused by impaired cardiac function, and in severe cases, life-threatening situations such as syncope and cardiogenic shock may occur. At this time, we must seek medical treatment quickly.
Sixth, anxiety.
Normal people's anxiety is mostly related to their emotions, while some people still feel flustered, palpitations and fidgeting when their emotions are stable, depending on whether they have heart disease. Increased heart rate and arrhythmia are common causes of palpitation and anxiety, which are mostly caused by changes in heart function or organic nature. Early intervention measures should be taken to prevent the symptoms from getting worse.
Seventh, cough.
Most people have symptoms such as cough and fever when they catch a cold, and there is no big difference between coughing during the day and at night. However, some people do not have fever and other symptoms similar to colds, but cough more at night, which is more obvious when lying down than when sitting up. At this time, we should be alert to whether the heart function is damaged. This may be because the airway is stimulated by pulmonary congestion, which may be accompanied by coughing up white foam sputum and bloodshot sputum, and even pink foam-like sputum may appear during acute attack.
Eighth, it is easy to get tired or tired all day.
Many patients with heart disease begin with fatigue or fatigue, mostly due to impaired left ventricular function and decreased cardiac output, which can not meet the needs of peripheral tissue perfusion.
Ninth, oliguria and edema of lower limbs
Oliguria and edema of lower limbs appear, and many people often think that there is something wrong with the kidney. In fact, impaired cardiac function will lead to insufficient renal blood flow or increased systemic venous pressure, which often leads to oliguria and edema of lower limbs. Long-term renal ischemia can lead to a vicious circle of worsening renal function, proteinuria, increased serum creatinine and aggravated heart failure.
