Three major characteristics of atrial fibrillation and two high-risk groups

Atrial fibrillation is a common persistent heart beat in life, and the number of heart beats increases with the age of a person. Patients with atrial fibrillation will suffer from many diseases, especially as they get older, many physical problems will arise. So today I will teach you the three main characteristics of atrial fibrillation.

1. Atrial fibrillation: The normal movement of the heart is rhythmic contraction and relaxation. After atrial fibrillation, the heart beats faster, the frequency market loses its mechanical activity, and simply becomes a channel for blood flow. This is atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation causes blood to flow faster.

2. The reason why atrial fibrillation can easily lead to infarction: There is a place in the heart called the auricle. The blood in the auricle is discharged through the compression and relaxation of the heart. When atrial fibrillation occurs, the blood in the auricle cannot be discharged for a long time, causing the components in the blood to clump together and coagulate into small blood clots. The blood moves forward with the flow of blood. When the small blood clots reach the narrow area, it is easy to block the blood vessels and cause infarction.

3. Characteristic 1 of atrial fibrillation: palpitations and shortness of breath. When you are resting normally, you will feel palpitations and shortness of breath. At this time, if you touch the artery on your wrist, you will find that the pulse is beating very fast. At this time, the elderly should be careful not to touch their carotid arteries easily to prevent blood clots in the carotid artery from flowing to the brain through pressure.

4. Feature 2: Cold hands and feet. Due to the partial loss of heart function, the heart's blood pumping volume decreases, coupled with the body's stress response and excessive tension and fear, which leads to cold hands and feet.

5. Feature three: Dizziness, fatigue and weakness: Oxygen is supplied to the brain along with the blood. Here, the amount of blood pumped by the heart decreases, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen content in the blood, causing dizziness or blacking out.

6. One of the high-risk groups: people who snore. Snoring is a sleep apnea syndrome that can cause brain and myocardial hypoxia. Cerebral hypoxia leads to imbalance in neural regulation and myocardial hypoxia can easily lead to atrial fibrillation.

7. High-risk group 2: Unhealthy lifestyles include drinking and obesity: Alcohol directly stimulates atrial fibrillation. Most obese people suffer from atrial fibrillation due to lack of exercise, three highs, snoring and other comprehensive factors.
