What is sinus arrhythmia and what are the causes of sinus arrhythmia?

Sinus arrhythmias are common arrhythmias, but most of these conditions are respiratory sinus arrhythmias that change with breathing, increase during inhalation, slow down during exhalation, and become regular when holding breath. This arrhythmia is mostly a physiological phenomenon that occurs more often in children and the elderly, and is more common in children over 3 years of age.

It is actually very normal to go to the hospital to check for sinus arrhythmia.

In the physical examination, the ECG must be done items, which is also an important means of checking heart disease, many people when they get the report, there will be the words "sinus arrhythmia" written on it, many people do not understand what this means, so, what is "sinus arrhythmia"?

Before we get to know "sinus arrhythmia", let's take a look at how the heart works. We know that in a quiet state, a normal person's heart will beat about 60 to 100 times per minute. In the heart, there is a structure called the sinus node, what is the "sinus node"?

To put it simply, the sinus node is the metronome of the heart, and it is also the initiation point of the heart's beat, the sinus node is very automatic, and the signals it emits are transmitted from the atria to the ventricles through the conduction fibers of the heart, causing the atria and ventricles of the heart to contract in turn, completing the process of diastole and contraction of the heart. So, when the heart relaxes, blood flows back into the heart, the heart contracts, and blood is pumped throughout the body through the blood vessels.

Generally speaking, when there is a problem with the sinus node, there will be an ectopic heart rate on the ECG, such as sinus arrhythmia. So, what exactly is sinus arrhythmia? The so-called sinus arrhythmia refers to the irregular rhythm emitted by the sinus node, which may be fast and slow, which is sinus arrhythmia.

In general, sinus arrhythmia is very common in young people, it is also physiological and has little effect on the body.

So, how should we enhance the function of the heart?

First of all, keep exercising. In modern society, people's life is getting faster and faster, and few people will insist on exercising, which can also seriously affect physical health. It's best to take some time out of your day to exercise, which can greatly improve the function of the heart and strengthen your body.

Then, maintain a balanced diet that doesn't eat too much and doesn't eat too little.

Finally, drink less alcohol and avoid strong coffee and strong tea.

Sinus arrhythmia indicates that the sluggish rhythm of the sinus node is not arrhythmic, just like a soldier walking in a straight step, under normal circumstances, it must be walked step by step. If you walk unneatly, suddenly faster or slower, this is a sinus arrhythmia.

Sinus arrhythmia is common in young people, it is generally physiological, and has no major impact on the body.
