Avoid Heart Attacks, Pulse Check Before Running

Avoid Heart Attacks, Pulse Check Before Running


A heart attack can occur during exercise. To that end, it is important for anyone to check the health of the heart before doing fairly strenuous activity like running competition.

Zaini Saragih, Sports Medicine Specialist doctors from the Royal Sports Medicine Centre, said, you should check the health of the heart to the doctor first before competing. Furthermore, the safety of a person to exercise can be known by counting heartbeats, known as pulse rate.

Calculate the pulse rate per minute in resting condition. "If it is more than 100 times (pulse) per minute, forget to run," said Zaini

Zaini said normal pulse rate when the body is at rest is 60-80 beats per minute. Meanwhile, the pulse rate of 80-100 per minute can occur when the lack of sleep, light activity, and too much coffee. If more than 100 beats per minute at rest, heart health is questionable.

"That is, not only exercise the heart is beating too fast. Tired of heart. If we are forced sports, baseball can be strong. Collapses heart," said Zaini.

The pulse rate can be calculated by pressing the veins in the wrist and neck. The most easily find the pulse at the wrist.

According to Zaini, heart health issues are often overlooked, but can be fatal, which is a heart attack which could cause death.

"Maybe some people look healthy body, it turns out suddenly of a heart attack. If he counted his pulse, maybe it could have been avoided," said Zaini
