Scott Murray, a well-known fitness internet celebrity in Ireland, often shares the concept of fitness and diet on YouTube, but he died suddenly at home last month, shocking fitness World because he is only 27 years old!
Before his death, in order to maintain a body fat rate of 5%, Scarter required himself to consume 5-6 kilocalories every day, and lacked sleep for a long time. In the end, his family confirmed that he died of “heart failure”. Why do young people often hear about it? News of sudden death after exercise?
How to prevent it? Does lack of sleep affect heart function?
Skater Murray himself is a fitness coach and nutritionist. He often shares how he works out and maintains a low-fat diet. There are many of his die-hard fans on the Internet. Pointing to “lack of sleep, excessive exercise”, can these seemingly non-fatal causes really lead to heart failure?
Although there is no “lack of sleep” among the risk factors for heart failure, in fact, long-term lack of sleep still affects the heart, because people will be more tired, sympathetic nerves will be more excited, people will have a fast heartbeat and high blood pressure, are risk factors for heart failure.
Young people die suddenly after exercise, and “hypertrophic cardiomyopathy” is common! According to Scart’s family, Scart only slept 3-4 hours a day before his death, and spent the rest of the time training heavily. A few years ago, artist Gao Yixiang also died suddenly while exercising in the recording program. How big is the risk of sudden death caused by sports training?
Statistics at home and abroad show that the most common cause of sudden death after exercise among young people is “hypertrophic cardiomyopathy”, with an incidence of about 1 in 500. In addition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may also cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. heart failure.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is mainly related to gene mutation. When the patient’s ventricle becomes very thick, fatal arrhythmia is likely to occur during exercise, resulting in death. However, young people rarely do health checks and fail to do so. Know in time that you may have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
In recent years, the fitness trend has become popular, and people don’t need to worry too much. If they are young people with healthy heart function, their sympathetic nerves will be very excited during heavy training, blood pressure will rise, and their heartbeat will become faster. Cardiac function is normal, and heavy training does not put a burden on the body.
Malignant arrhythmia can still save a life if detected early, but those with a history of cardiovascular disease and chronic diseases should be more careful, because it can cause cardiac The causes of failure include: three highs, ischemic heart disease (blood vessel blockage and stenosis), obesity, family history, smoking, which may cause the deterioration of heart failure, and cardiovascular disease risk factors may also cause coronary artery disease. Plaques are generated, causing ischemia. If the heart ischemia, the systolic function will be affected due to insufficient nutrient supply.
Generally speaking, the normal systolic rate of the left ventricle is 60, if it is lower than 30, it may cause fatal arrhythmia and lead to sudden death. For patients, it is recommended that a defibrillator be installed in the body, like an electric shock in the heart.
For this kind of sudden situation, timely detection may still save a life!
If it is fatal arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular beats (beats greater than 120 beats in 1 minute), if the AED is used to analyze whether it violates malignant arrhythmia, if defibrillation can be done as soon as possible, the heart rhythm can be restored Normal, it is possible to save a life and reduce the occurrence of subsequent adverse complications.
Under the prevailing trend of exercise, it is of course good for overall health, but it is necessary to know more about your physical condition before and after exercise. If you are already uncomfortable, don’t force yourself to exercise, especially when you are uncomfortable , go to the hospital as soon as possible to be evaluated by a professional doctor.
