Chronic heart failure is a common and serious health problem that affects the quality of life of patients, but effective control of the condition and improvement of the quality of life can be achieved through scientific heart rehabilitation measures. Next, let’s talk about how chronic heart failure can heal your heart and make your heart healthier.
I. What’s chronic heart failure?
Chronic heart failure means that heart muscles are impaired and insufficient blood is not available to meet body needs. Patients often experience signs of fatigue, respiratory difficulties and oedema. The treatment and rehabilitation of this disease is a comprehensive process that requires the concerted efforts of patients, their families and medical personnel.
Drug treatment as a foundation
Drug treatment is an integral part of heart rehabilitation. Doctors will prescribe appropriate drugs based on your condition.
1. Urine: e.g. fur sermi, can help to reduce oedema and the heart burden.
2. Accumulator (ACEI) or vascular stressor II receptor (ARB): e.g., Inaply, Zoltan, can improve the reorganisation of the heart and contribute to the recovery of the heart function.
3. Beta receptor retardants: Metolore, for example, can reduce heart rate and myocardial oxygen consumption.
4. Positive muscle drugs: e.g., geocoxin, which enhances myocardial contraction.
It must be borne in mind, however, that the use of drugs must comply with medical instructions, not increase or decrease the dose or stop the drug on its own, and that the side effects of drugs are regularly monitored.
III. Rational motion
A modest amount of movement is very useful for chronic heart failure patients. Physical rehabilitation helps to improve the quality of life and physical resilience of patients. Next, let’s see what we should do.
1. Select the appropriate mode of exercise: Common aerobics include walking, jogging, swimming, etc. In addition, appropriate force training can be provided to enhance muscle strength.
2. Motivation: the strength and time of the movement should be gradual, starting with a short walk and gradually increasing time and distance. It is desirable that the exercise be carried out under the guidance of a doctor or a therapist.
3. Symptoms: close monitoring of their symptoms during the exercise and, if they are suffering from respiratory difficulties, chest problems, heart problems, etc., immediate cessation of the exercise and timely medical treatment.
IV. A reasonable diet
Dietary adjustment is also important in heart rehabilitation. Patients should limit sodium salt intake to no more than 5 grams per day to reduce the burden of oedema and heart. At the same time, the intake of the moisture is controlled to avoid an increase in the heart load.
Increased quality proteins, vitamins and dietary fibres: such as skinny meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, which contribute to nutritional balance and increased body immunity.
2. Avoid high fat, high cholesterol and sugary foods, such as fried foods, animal internal organs, desserts, etc., which increase the heart burden and are not conducive to disease control.
V. Psychological guidance
People suffering from chronic heart failure often suffer from psychological problems such as anxiety and depression due to repeated illness and declining quality of life. These psychological problems affect not only the mood of the patient, but also the control of the condition. Psychological guidance is therefore very important.
1. Seek professional help: if necessary, help from a professional psychologist for psychological or pharmaceutical treatment.
2. Support of relatives and friends: The support of family and friends is also very important, providing care and encouragement to patients and maintaining a good mindset.
Self-regulating: Proper listening to music, reading easy books, performing deep-breath exercises, etc. helps to alleviate anxiety and stress.
Regular follow-up visits
Regular follow-up is essential for the management of chronic heart failure patients. Patients should be reviewed regularly, as recommended by the doctor, including examinations of electrocardiograms, ultrasound plans, blood and biochemistry. These examinations help doctors to keep abreast of changes in your condition, assess the effectiveness of treatment, identify potential problems and provide guidance and treatment.
VII. OTHER MEASURES
In addition to the above-mentioned measures, there are a number of supplementary measures for the heart rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure:
1. Prohibition of smoking and alcohol
2. Maintaining good habits
3. Learning self-management skills
Cardiac rehabilitation for chronic heart failure is a comprehensive process that requires a combination of drugs, sports, diet, psychology, etc. By doing so, we can effectively control the situation and improve the quality of life of our patients, and as long as we persevere, we will have a better tomorrow.
