The harm of premature heart beats and the complications are serious

Premature heart beats are premature heart beats. Ventricular premature heart beats are the most common, followed by sinus and atrial premature heart beats. In traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of premature heart beats is insufficient qi and blood. Timely kidney and blood tonification will have a good treatment effect. Otherwise, it will cause some complications that are very harmful.

1. Ventricular tachycardia

Ventricular tachycardia refers to a tachycardia composed of 3-5 or more wide and deformed QRS waves originating below the bifurcation of the His bundle. It is similar to paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in form, but the symptoms are more severe. Children may be irritable, pale, and have rapid breathing. Older children may complain of palpitations and precordial pain. Severe cases may experience syncope, shock, and congestive shock. Those with short attacks have mild hemodynamic changes, while those with attacks lasting more than 24 hours may have significant hemodynamic changes. Physical examination reveals an increased heart rate, often above 150 beats/min, with a regular rhythm and heart sounds of varying strengths.

2. Ventricular fibrillation (VF)

It is caused by many intersecting reentrant electrical activity waves, and its electrocardiogram shows a chaotic recording curve. VF can often be fatal unless defibrillated with direct current (which is difficult to achieve with chest blows or antiarrhythmic drugs).

3. Sudden cardiac death

Sudden death is a clinical syndrome, which refers to the sudden and unexpected non-human death of a person who usually appears to be healthy or whose condition has basically recovered or stabilized. Most of the deaths occur within immediately to one hour after the onset of the acute disease, and the longest does not exceed 6 hours. It is mainly due to primary ventricular fibrillation, ventricular arrest or electromechanical separation, which causes the heart to suddenly stop its effective contraction function. The situation is serious and we must take it seriously.

4. Premature beat care

Maintain a regular life and proper physical exercise, do not stay up late, do not watch TV or sit in front of the computer for a long time, take a walk, practice Tai Chi, and use some fitness equipment for fitness training will bring long-term benefits to your body. Quit smoking and avoid heavy drinking. You should go to the hospital for regular physical examinations, and go to the hospital promptly if you find palpitations, missed heart beats, etc. If elderly people find themselves having premature beats, they should go to the hospital for examination in time. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes health preservation and physical exercise to prevent premature beats.
