The cardiologist pointed out an important signal of heart problems
A rapid heartbeat at rest, when the pulse rises without physical exertion, is a signal of health problems. Sergey Vechtomov, cardiologist at SM Clinic, said this on Thursday, July 16.
He named the diseases that this symptom may indicate. So, first of all, a rapid heartbeat at rest can be a sign of hypertension, heart failure and various rhythm disturbances.
"These include supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation and other conditions that require mandatory assessment by a cardiologist," Vechtomov warned in an interview with Lenta.Ru .
In addition, rapid heartbeat may be associated with hormonal disorders, such as thyroid or adrenal gland diseases. Anemia may also be a possible cause of this problem, the doctor added.
In addition, dehydration, electrolyte deficiency, as well as infectious diseases and severe stress can also cause heart palpitations.
If the resting heart rate consistently exceeds 100 beats per minute, Vechtomov urged to urgently consult a doctor.
In turn, internist, cardiologist, candidate of medical sciences Andrey Kondrakhin said in an interview with RT that with a sedentary lifestyle, the cardiovascular system does not receive the proper load, which leads to a number of health problems.
On July 10, Valentina Baydina, a cardiologist at the SM Clinic in St. Petersburg, Candidate of Medical Sciences, named the amount of coffee that can negatively affect the body.
The doctor said that more than two or three cups a day can cause a blood pressure spike and accelerate the pulse. A particular danger is the combination of caffeine with smoking against a background of stress or a sleepless night — this inevitably leads to a sharp rise in blood pressure and tachycardia, she warned.
Renad Adzhiev, a cardiologist at the K+31 clinic network, recommended reducing salt intake and avoiding physical exertion in the middle of the day in hot weather.
