Whether or not a patient with a bad heart can swim cannot be generalized. Patients with serious heart disease can not swim, if the condition is not serious patients can swim properly under the advice of the doctor.
Swimming needs to consume a lot of energy, easy to induce arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, etc. If the patient is suffering from serious heart disease (such as serious arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, heart failure, etc.) can not swim, so as not to aggravate the condition, resulting in palpitations, dizziness or even fainting and other adverse consequences.
If the patient’s condition is not serious and has been stabilized recently, it is beneficial for the patient to have proper swimming exercise under the doctor’s advice so as to improve the cardiopulmonary function.
Patients with bad heart condition should actively follow the doctor’s advice to carry out standardized treatment, and need to listen to the doctor’s advice to decide whether to swim or not, in order to avoid adverse consequences.
