It's serious if your heart has premature beats

There are many reasons for premature heart beats. Sometimes it may be a side effect of long-term medication, or it may be a mental problem caused by excessive stress in daily life. In short, if you want to have a healthy body, in addition to developing healthy eating habits, you should also pay more attention to exercise and rest on time. Here is a brief introduction to the causes of premature heart beats:

Causes of premature heart beats include:

In fact, many of the causes of premature heart beats are the same as other heart diseases. High mental stress, bad living habits, medication errors, lack of proper exercise, and underlying heart disease. These can all trigger premature heart beats.

We can take a few examples to understand it in detail, such as: mental stress and bad living habits. Because high emotional tension and great psychological pressure are the main causes of functional "premature beats". Just imagine that a normal person faces great mental stress every day and has unreasonable living habits. In the long run, in addition to causing diseases such as premature heart beats, it is also likely to cause other harm to the body. So this is the main cause of premature beats. People with similar situations should pay attention and adjust their lifestyles and habits in time.

Lack of proper exercise. In fact, we also need to take time to exercise in our busy schedule. The long-term stress of life needs to be released; and exercise is a very good way to relieve stress. In addition to exercising the body, it can also relieve one's own stress.

A normal person with underlying heart disease may also suffer from premature heart beats if he or she does not live an appropriate lifestyle, not to mention patients with other heart diseases. Therefore, such patients should pay more attention to their own conditions because their chances of getting sick are relatively higher than normal people.

What are the tests for premature heart beats?

1. 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram monitoring

Also known as llolter monitoring. That is, tracking the 24-hour electrocardiogram to observe the number and nature of premature beats, and their relationship with activity and sleep, etc.

2. Color Doppler echocardiography

Abbreviated as cardiac color Doppler ultrasound. It is the main detection method for observing heart structure and function.

3. Treadmill exercise test

Abbreviated as treadmill exercise test. According to the patient's specific situation, the specific amount of exercise is calculated, and the patient exercises on a planar monitor to observe the occurrence of premature beats during the exercise in order to determine the relationship between premature beats and exercise.

4. Thyroid function test

Such as free T3, T4, TG, TM, TSH, thyroid isotope scanning, thyroid B-ultrasound, etc.

5. Blood biochemistry examination

It mainly involves the determination of myocardial enzymes and troponin 1 to observe whether myocardial damage exists.

The above-mentioned examination items are relatively commonly used and can detect the symptoms of premature beats from various aspects.

There are two types of premature beats, which require attention.

Premature beats are divided into functional and organic types. Functional premature beats are more common in healthy people or children without organic heart disease, that is, this type of premature beats is more common in the normal population. Caused by overwork, mental stress, digestive problems, emotional instability or autonomic nervous system instability.

Organic premature beats are caused by certain diseases, or certain drug poisoning, acute infection, etc. Premature beats often increase during exercise or when the heart rate increases.

Premature heart beats may induce serious arrhythmias, increase the risk of myocardial ischemia and heart failure, and even lead to serious consequences such as sudden death due to ventricular fibrillation. Active treatment and rational use of medication are required, and radiofrequency ablation should be considered if necessary.

When we suffer from premature beats, we also need to judge our own situation.

Functional premature beats are generally benign premature beats. Occasionally, those that occur less than 5 times are premature beats. They generally do not affect the heart's blood output and blood supply, and have little impact on health.

If the beats occur more than 6 times per minute, they are called frequent premature beats, which are usually accompanied by a decrease in blood output and symptoms of insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys.

Such as chest tightness, palpitations, dizziness and weakness. If this premature beat occurs in a person with existing serious heart disease, he may quickly develop heart failure or other serious conditions.

At this time, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time, because once heart failure occurs, the patient is in great danger. Therefore, patients with this condition or their family members must always pay attention to the heartbeat and keep their emotions stable.

Patients with this type of heart disease should pay attention to medication in their daily lives and also make corresponding changes in their lifestyle to cope with the disease. Eat green and light food, avoid staying up late, drinking alcohol, and smoking; maintain an optimistic attitude and stable emotions.
