How can people with cardiovascular disease exercise safely and effectively? Do you need oxygen?

  Scientific studies have shown that appropriate exercise in patients with cardiovascular disease can promote healthy recovery, while promoting the release of endorphins, making people feel physical and mental pleasure and improving the quality of life.

Exercise has multiple benefits for the cardiovascular system——

  1，Improve heart function

Studies have found that cardiac rehabilitation exercises can establish additional energy transport channels for myocardium, improve the oxygen supply capacity of myocardium, and effectively promote the improvement of cardiac function.

  2, reduce blood lipids and blood pressure

Exercise can significantly reduce the content of blood lipids, change the quality of blood lipids, effectively prevent coronary heart disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis and other risk factors of atherosclerosis, and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular risk events caused by plaque formation and loss. At the same time, exercise can also slow the pulse and reduce blood pressure when quiet, which is helpful to control blood pressure.

  3、Boost metabolism

Exercise can promote the opening of a large number of capillaries, accelerate the exchange of blood and tissue fluid, accelerate the level of metabolism, and enhance the supply of energy substances and the ability of metabolites to discharge.

  Patients with cardiovascular diseases need to pay attention to rehabilitation exercise

  1、Follow your doctor's orders

Exercise should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. If discomfort occurs during exercise, stop immediately and seek medical attention immediately if necessary. Exercise from low intensity, the effect generally takes 6 weeks to show, 1 to 2 months later, to the hospital review, re-evaluate the exercise effect, so that the doctor timely improve the exercise prescription.

  2、Moderate intensity

The appropriate exercise intensity refers to the intensity of breathing smoothly, sweating a little, and normal language communication during exercise. If you have shortness of breath or intermittent speech, it indicates that the exercise intensity is too high. Too much strength releases lactic acid from the muscles into the blood, increasing the load on the heart, not only reducing the effect of exercise, but also easily leading to injury.

  3、It should be sooner rather than later

For older people with cardiovascular disease, 6-9 am is considered the peak time for heart attacks. Therefore, it is best to arrange in the afternoon or evening, when the coordination of the muscles and joints of the whole body is the strongest, the heart rate and blood pressure are relatively stable, and it is more suitable for exercise. In the morning, not only the senses are not sensitive, the movement coordination is poor, the heart rate and blood pressure fluctuations are also relatively large.

 4、 lower limbs are better than upper limbs, the whole body is better than local 

 Exercise in patients with cardiovascular disease should start from lower limb exercise and then transition to upper limb exercise. Upper limb exercise blood flow back to the heart is easier, once excessive exercise, easy to lead to a large amount of blood flow back to the heart, increase the heart oxygen consumption, and then increase the incidence of cardiovascular events.

 At the same time, whole body exercise is more recommended than local exercise, because it can more comprehensively promote the relaxation of muscle blood vessels, avoid significant local blood pressure increase, reduce the burden on the heart, and contribute to cardiovascular health.

 5, pay attention to oxygen

  When the human body begins to exercise, the demand for oxygen in the muscles rises dramatically to support the increased energy expenditure. Light activities, such as walking slowly or doing housework, can increase the oxygen requirement to 3-5 times the resting state; Moderate intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging or cycling, can increase the oxygen requirement to 7-10 times the resting state; In high-intensity exercise, such as running, swimming, or weight training, the oxygen requirement can increase to 15 times or more of the resting state.

  In the case of cardiovascular patients with impaired cardiopulmonary function, the transport and utilization of oxygen have declined, such as exercise, oxygen demand is further increased, and it is more likely to reduce blood oxygen saturation, thus affecting the normal operation of the body. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the blood oxygen saturation before and after exercise, and if there is hypoxia, oxygen needs to be replenishment in time to maintain the normal blood oxygen level in the body.

  There are limited options for sports oxygenation equipment on the market, and although oxygen cylinders and oxygen bags can supply oxygen, there are often problems such as inconvenient carrying and limited oxygen. The portable oxygen generator introduced in recent years provides a more flexible solution, which can not only be carried around, but also can supply oxygen at any time, which is very suitable for users who need exercise oxygen. Like the Imme portable oxygen generator.

  MTEHFYAF® series oxygen generator, built-in battery, the whole machine weighs about 0.65KG, users can easily take outdoors, at any time to replenish oxygen. Its oxygen output is stable and can provide users with effective oxygen supplement quickly. The operation of the machine is simple, no additional water humidification is required, and the elderly can easily learn to switch the machine with one key.

  Exercise is an effective way to restore health and improve the quality of life. For people with cardiovascular disease, choosing the right type of exercise is crucial. It is recommended that before starting any exercise program, always consult a doctor or a rehabilitation professional to ensure the safety and suitability of exercise.
