Can exercise effectively treat myocardial ischemia?

People with myocardial ischemia are actually not suitable for strenuous exercise, but in order to better assist in auxiliary treatment, some light jogging exercises can be done, which can help enhance respiratory function and improve the body's ventilation and gas exchange capabilities.

1. Everything should be done in moderation . Patients with myocardial ischemia are advised to jog, neither too fast nor too slow. Inhale once every three steps and exhale once every three steps! Only breathe through your nose and abdomen! Exercise between 9 and 10 in the morning and around 9 in the evening! Don't be greedy, do it step by step, and it will be effective only if you persist for a long time!

2. Studies have shown that doing brisk jogging can enhance respiratory function, increase lung capacity, and improve the body's ventilation and gas exchange capabilities. The oxygen supplied during jogging can be 8 to 12 times more than when sitting still. Oxygen is essential for maintaining human life activities, and the ability to absorb oxygen directly affects cardiopulmonary function. Generally speaking, the oxygen absorption capacity of the elderly is lower, and exercise can improve their oxygen absorption capacity. The maximum oxygen uptake of elderly people who jog is not only significantly higher than that of their peers who do not exercise, but also higher than that of elderly people who participate in general exercise. Jogging can strengthen and thicken the myocardium, and has the effect of exercising and protecting the heart. The heart size and function of an elderly person who has been jogging for many years is no different from that of a 20-year-old young person who does not exercise. This is because long-term exercise improves myocardial nutrition, makes the myocardium developed, and improves its function.

3. Jogging can increase blood flow and enhance blood vessel elasticity, and it has the effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and improving blood circulation. When jogging, the coronary blood flow can increase 10 times compared to when you are at rest, that is, the blood flow can reach 1200-1400 ml per minute. For people who jog regularly, their heart rate can drop to about 50 to 60 beats per minute, which allows the myocardium to rest for a longer period of time.

4. Jogging can promote the metabolism of the whole body , improve lipid metabolism, and prevent excessive lipids in the blood. Coronary heart disease, hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other senile diseases are mostly related to lipid metabolism in the body. Jogging can improve the normal metabolism of lipids in the body, reduce the content of cholesterol and triglycerides, prevent and reduce the deposition of lipids such as cholesterol on the blood vessel walls, thereby playing a role in preventing and treating coronary heart disease, hypertension and other senile diseases. Jogging can control weight, prevent arteriosclerosis, adjust the excitation and inhibition process of the cerebral cortex, and eliminate brain fatigue. Jogging can also produce a low-frequency vibration in the human body, which can exercise the vascular smooth muscle, thereby increasing the tension of the blood vessels. It can remove deposits on the blood vessel walls through vibration, and at the same time prevent the accumulation of blood lipids on the blood vessel walls. This is of great significance in preventing and treating arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
