Because heart failure patients have lingering conditions and recurring attacks, they are not suitable for long-term hospitalization. Therefore, mastering home self-recuperation measures is very necessary to prevent recurrence and promote recovery. The main points are as follows: \x0d\ (1) Rest to slow down the heart rate: The significance of rest is to reduce the body's aerobic metabolic rate and reduce the burden of blood supply and nourishment on the heart. As a result, the heart rate slows down and prevents the aggravation of heart failure. or relapse. For patients with mild heart failure, only a few days of bed rest can bring the heart failure under control. For patients who still have palpitations and fast heart rate during rest, in addition to requiring a longer period of rest, they must also be treated with cardiotonic and diuretic drugs. For people whose condition improves, they can get out of bed and do some light activities, but the limit of activities should not cause palpitations or shortness of breath. \x0d\\x0d\ (2) Limit the intake of sodium salt: Sodium salt, under the action of certain endocrine hormones, causes spasm of small arteries and increases blood pressure. Sodium salt also has the function of absorbing water. Every 1 gram of table salt can carry 200 to 250 ml of water in the body. If the body consumes too much sodium, the blood volume of the whole body will increase, and the burden on the heart will also increase, making the already failing heart more severe. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the amount of salt consumed. For patients with mild heart failure, the daily salt intake should be limited to 3 grams, and the water intake should be controlled to 1500 ml per day. If there is obvious edema all over the body, the daily water intake should be strictly controlled. Generally, 500 ml of water should be added to yesterday's total urine output. \x0d\\x0d\ (3) Eat small and frequent meals, and pay attention to nutrition: Patients with heart failure have congestion in the liver and gastrointestinal tract, and have poor appetite and digestion and absorption capabilities. Therefore, they should eat small and frequent meals at regular intervals, every day. It is best to eat 4 to 5 meals a day, and each meal should be eighty percent full, preferably liquid or semi-liquid food. Without increasing the burden on the heart, you should eat more nutritious foods, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, to supplement the high-quality foods rich in various essential amino acids. Protein, vitamin B, C, etc. Food grains allowed to be eaten include rice, flour, millet, corn, and sorghum. Beans: Various beans and their products, such as soy milk, tofu, etc. Poultry and livestock meat: chicken, duck (lean), pork (lean), beef. Fats and oils are mainly vegetable oils, and animal oils are rarely used. Aquatic freshwater fish and some marine fish with low sodium content. Milk and egg milk (250 ml), eggs or duck eggs (<1/day). Except for vegetables with high sodium content. Fruit various fresh fruits. Drink light tea and talk about coffee. \x0d\\x0d\Doctors remind heart failure patients that self-recuperation at home is important, but when heart discomfort occurs, they should go to the hospital in time and do not delay treatment and cause unnecessary risks.
