Does physical exercise affect hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

summary

Cardiomyopathy mainly refers to myocardial diseases with myocardial dysfunction, mainly including dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Keshan disease, namely endemic cardiomyopathy, once broke out in China, which also leads to more and more attention to cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is mainly left ventricular or right ventricular hypertrophy, and sometimes accumulates to ventricular septum, Lead to ventricular septal hypertrophy, left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy makes left ventricular blood filling affected, myocardial blood supply disorders of cardiomyopathy, this cardiomyopathy later will appear heart failure, which is also the main cause of adolescent sudden death. Let's take a look at the following.

Does physical exercise affect hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

First: the disease generally has an obvious family genetic history, high blood pressure and high-intensity exercise can also be used as the promotion factor of the disease, the clinical symptoms of the disease is not obvious in the early stage, some patients have no symptoms in the early stage, many patients are found to have myocardial hypertrophy after sudden death or physical examination.

Second, for patients with initial diagnosis, B-ultrasound is needed to confirm the diagnosis and judge the location and degree of myocardial hypertrophy. Exercise can aggravate the symptoms of patients. Exercise will increase the oxygen consumption of myocardium, and the heart will appear hypertrophy to adapt to the high oxygen consumption activities, which will speed up the steps of myocardial hypertrophy. For patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, strenuous exercise should be avoided, In order to reduce the occurrence of sudden death.

Third: many patients have palpitations, chest tightness, exertional dyspnea, that is, after work, they will have symptoms of dyspnea, sometimes vertigo, or even loss of symptoms, generally in the physical examination can find mild hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the heart, through auscultation can be a preliminary diagnosis, auscultation will have murmur.

matters needing attention

Exercise is not necessarily good for the body. Excessive exercise may increase the burden of the heart muscle. Proper exercise is the best way to enhance the body's resistance. At the same time, patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy should avoid using drugs that can increase the burden of the heart muscle, such as digitalis.
