What foods are better to eat when myocardial enzymes are high?

Myocardial enzyme is an indicator of a person's heart function. We should know that the heart is very important to the human body. It is responsible for the power of the human blood circulation system and is the source of a person's life. Neither too high nor too low myocardial enzyme values ​​are a good sign. High myocardial enzyme levels may be caused by alcohol stimulation or physical weakness. If myocardial enzyme levels are high, you should pay attention to your diet. So what foods are better for people with high myocardial enzyme levels?

If this happens, you should avoid eating too much greasy food. Also, try to eat more light food, which will help with this disease.

Dietary taboos for patients with high myocardial enzymes:

First, you can’t drink alcohol if your myocardial enzymes are high

The alcohol contained in wine has a very strong stimulating effect on myocardial cells, which will cause an increase in heart rate and naturally increase myocardial oxygen consumption, which has a negative effect on disease recovery. Therefore, if you are found to have high myocardial enzymes during examination, you must avoid drinking alcohol.

Second, if myocardial enzymes are high, you cannot eat irritating foods.

If you have high myocardial enzymes, you must not eat spicy foods, because these foods will stimulate the myocardium, causing an imbalance in the heart rate and increasing the myocardial oxygen consumption. In addition, you should eat as little snacks as possible, because snacks contain chemical additives, which may also cause significant stimulation to the myocardium.

What to do if myocardial enzymes are high

High cardiac enzyme levels may be caused by myocarditis. If you suffer from myocarditis, you should strengthen physical exercise, improve the body's disease resistance, and avoid fatigue to prevent viral and bacterial infections. After the onset of the disease, pay attention to rest and eat nutritious food to help the heart recover. During the acute phase, patients should rest in bed. After symptoms and signs improve and the electrocardiogram returns to normal, patients can gradually increase their activities and be given nutritious and easily digestible food. If heart failure, arrhythmia or shock occurs, correct it actively.

What causes high myocardial enzymes?

The cardiomyocytes of the heart contain special enzymes. When myocardial infarction or acute unstable angina occurs, the cardiomyocytes will undergo necrosis and disintegration. At this time, these enzymes (cardiac enzymes) will dissolve into the blood, causing an abnormal increase.

Clinical and experimental results show that the increase of these enzymes (cardiac enzymes) (such as troponin type I - CTnI or troponin type T - CTnT) means that the heart attack is extremely dangerous. It not only indicates that the myocardial cells are damaged to a certain extent, but also has a higher probability of producing many major adverse cardiac complications - recurrent myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, etc. (i.e. a poor prognosis). However, the levels will not necessarily increase in the early stage of the disease, and generally will take 4-6 hours or even 12 hours to rise, so continuous monitoring is required.
