Pulse is called heart rate, and heart rate. And this parameter measures the number of heart beats per minute.
Ka also measures the pulse correctly?
1. Method one: yourself on the wrist. If you have to do is not often, it is better to consider the pulse full minute, no less. Then, the error will be less. Well, when there is a skill, and enough 10 seconds (then x 6). Pulse to "hear", the wrist should not be clamped. However, you can not hear the heartbeat because the patient is low pressure.
2. The second way (suitable as "inaudible" in the wrist) on the carotid artery. Measured at the same time on both sides.
3. Method three: by means of devices (now full of special gadgets and devices for measuring the pressure has not been canceled).
Pulse rest when measured?
"Basic" pulse doctors recommend to measure in the morning, waking up and getting out of bed. But these figures are likely to be lower digits "resting heart rate", which is considered to be in a calm state, without exercise and between meals. Normally it is 60-90, but according to the latest WHO - to 100. If the heart rate is below 60, it is a bradycardia, above 100 - a tachycardia.
Tachycardia may be physiological, while its causes are:
-physical and emotional stress;
- stuffiness and heat in the indoor / outdoor;
- hot and strong drinks.
However, the pulse of the rest may go out and pathological reasons:
1. With infectious diseasesWhen increased heart rate causes intoxication (including the hidden sites of inflammation).
2. Anemia, a blood disease. heart tissue require a sufficient amount of blood. And for this accelerated pace, often chasing in circles circulation substandard erythrocytes. To learn about anemia (iron deficiency is often a variant thereof), just look at the hemoglobin assays.
3. Tireotoksikoz, other thyroid diseases. An excess amount of hormones at elevated thyroid function stimulates the development of tachycardia. The pulse also increases pi other, more complex and less common endocrine diseases.
4. Heart diseases. Their shows cardiogram and ultrasound body. There are here and defects, and developmental abnormalities, and myocarditis. They all fit into the negative symptom tachycardia. The remaining heart diseases manifest themselves much more serious arrhythmias.
5. vascular disease. It hypertension and hypotension. In hypertensive patients increased heart rate is often one of the symptoms of the disease. It can also be a side effect of antihypertensive therapy. In addition, an increased heart rate can compensate for the reduced AD.
6. Overwork, leading to adrenal exhaustion. Manifests a sense of "weakness" in the morning, together with tachycardia. Then lethargy throughout the day. Diagnosis can be confirmed by analysis on cortisol in saliva.
