Why do we need a pacemaker?

The health of a person's heart is very important. Patients with heart disease should pay attention to taking medicine on time, avoid emotional fluctuations, not stay up late, go to bed early and get up early every day, rest on time, and eat some food that is good for the heart. Many patients with heart disease have pacemakers installed. Some people don’t understand why they need pacemakers. Why do they need pacemakers? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Why do we need a pacemaker?

1. Patients whose heart stops beating for more than 3 seconds or whose heart rate is often less than 40 times per minute, especially those who experience blackouts or sudden fainting, should have a pacemaker implanted. This is also the main and initial treatment scope of pacemakers.

2. Weak heart contraction. If the disease damages the myocardium or changes its original shape, the myocardium will not be able to contract strongly.

3. Cardiac arrest: If the heart stops beating for a few minutes, it can be fatal. Some diseases can cause cardiac arrest or fatal malignant ventricular arrhythmias (such as rapid ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation). A pacemaker with a defibrillator function can be installed to restore the heart's regular beating.

2. What to eat is good for the heart?

Researchers emphasize that walnuts rank at the top of the list of heart-healthy foods. Foods that are good for the heart include: whole wheat, oats, brown rice, lentils, onions, garlic, mushrooms, eggplant. Fruits: Apples are rich in fiber, which can supplement the human body with enough fiber, reduce the incidence of heart disease, and can also help lose weight. Bananas have a high potassium content, which is good for the human heart and muscle function.

1. Cherries can help people protect heart health. Blackberries contain more than three times the fiber content of other fruits of the same weight, which is helpful for heart health.

2. The chemical structure of goose meat and duck meat is very similar to olive oil, which is good for the heart, especially for the elderly who may wish to eat more of it. Chicken is recognized as the "best source of protein", and the elderly and children need to supplement it in time. Remember to drink fresh soup after eating meat. The best quality soup is chicken soup, especially hen soup, which can also prevent and treat colds and bronchitis, especially in winter and spring, which means it is more effective to drink it now.

3. Internal organs and diet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs of the human body each have their own functions and control and influence human health. Human memory, thinking and other activities are controlled by the five internal organs, namely the heart stores the spirit, the spleen stores the intention, the liver stores the soul, the lungs store the spirit, and the kidneys store the will. All mental activities depend on the nourishment of the essence of the internal organs. The specific foods a person consumes can have positive or negative effects on their internal organs. The five internal organs include the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The heart is the master of human life activities. The heart controls yang energy, blood vessels, and the mind. A vegetarian diet can prevent cardiovascular disease. Soybeans and soy products such as tofu are good for heart health.

4. Fish (fatty acids). It is best to eat fish with foods containing antioxidants (such as garlic).

5. Drinking red wine in moderation is good for the heart. Note that this only includes red wine; white wine and strong liquor are not counted.

6. Animal hearts also have the effect of nourishing the heart. You can eat chicken hearts, pig hearts, etc. in moderation.

To prevent heart disease, try to consume more calories at breakfast and eat less greasy food at dinner. Dinner should be as light as possible and the calorie intake should not exceed 30% of the total day's intake. Fried foods are harmful to the heart. Foods that contain a lot of saturated fat are not good for the heart: butter, animal products, whole milk, etc. Peanut butter, peanut oil, peanut nuts, olive oil, etc. containing unsaturated fats are good for the heart.
