A heart attack is a myocardial infarction. Absolute bed rest after the onset of an attack is to prevent complications such as heart failure and arrhythmia.
Myocardial infarction is an ischemic, necrotizing disease of the heart muscle caused by blockage of the coronary arteries and interruption of blood flow. It may be related to coronary atherosclerosis caused by smoking, diabetes and other triggers. Symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and squeezing pain in the precordial area with a sense of dying may occur, and in severe cases, shock or death may occur. There may also be complications such as arrhythmias and heart failure.
After myocardial infarction, the functions of the heart, such as systole and diastole, are severely affected due to reduced myocardial perfusion and varying degrees of ischemic necrosis of the myocardium.
Any activity may aggravate the burden on the heart and induce complications such as heart failure or arrhythmia, which is not conducive to the recovery of the condition and may even be life-threatening. Therefore, absolute bed rest after the onset of myocardial infarction can prevent the progression of the disease and the emergence of complications.
If the examination found that the phenomenon of myocardial infarction, must be in accordance with the doctor’s instructions to actively treat, absolute bed rest.
