What is pulse-like

Reduced heart rate is a bad sign for a person of any age. Allocate an extreme stage of complications - the pulse is threadlike, when intensive care is needed in the clinic. In this state, it is practically impossible to feel the tremors, only an experienced specialist with the help of electronics will be able to make a correct diagnosis.

Basic concepts of rhythm of heartbeat

Any pulse, threadlike or rapid, is described as a periodic oscillation of tremors from the pumping of blood by the heart muscle. For the analysis of the human condition, the concept of "wave filling" is used, the spectrum of which is displayed on the information display of electronic devices. The resulting form of research allows us to compare the indicators and put the right diagnosis on the deviation of the heartbeat from the norm.

A rhythm of contractions of the heart is felt through the motion of the walls of the vessels. On the human body, there are certain places where you can confidently determine the number of strokes:

• Femoral artery - location is determined without difficulty by palpation. Full people find the projection of the passage of the vessel, it will be on the border of the middle and medial third of the inguinal ligament.
• The carotid artery is the largest blood vessel. You can find it on the hollows of the neck from both sides.
• The temporal - the artery is noticeable by external examination and is easily determined even by an inexperienced novice.
• Radial - can be found in the area of the ulnar fossa.

To feel the pulse of the threadlike is not recommended by the thumb. Vessels pass through it, creating a rhythm of their own heartbeats. This introduces errors when measuring the shocks of another person. The index finger serves as a checker when there is no tonometer at hand.

Procedure for taking measurements

The filiform pulse is more often measured in the region of the radial artery. It is applied to the finger of the right hand, pressing the vessel to the bone. When the beats begin to feel with sufficient force, a stopwatch is started. The number of beats per minute is determined by a sequential account. At the time, the test is not recommended:

• speak;
• Quickly breathe, after running he needs to calm down;
• A man must be relaxed, legs stretched, you can lie down.

To measure the pressure and the number of strokes is obtained by a home tonometer with an additional function, the indicators will be more correct. It is easier to fix the occurrence of arrhythmia and to conduct preventive treatment.

Interpretation of results

If the reading falls within the interval between 60 beats and 80 per minute, then the conclusion is: a normal pulse. Threadlike is evaluated at a frequency that is difficult to detect by palpation. Less than 50 heartbeats signal for bradycardia - it should not cause much anxiety, but it should be shown urgently to the doctor. A further decrease in heart rate can cause it to stop.

Exceeding the mark of 100 strokes is the basis for diagnosing tachycardia. If the rhythm of the pulse is observed constant with the same fullness - it is allowed to shorten the measurement time to 30 seconds. If the beats of the heart muscle are uneven, the count is not less than a minute.

Causes of decreased heart rate

There are people who are able to reduce the heart beat frequency by the power of thought. Similar situations are observed in an ordinary person. Excessive excitement and stressful situations cause first an increase in the frequency of strokes, and then there comes a relaxation up to the fainting states.

The filiform pulse is observed in the following complications:

• Long-term therapy with potent drugs, accumulated in the body;
• Poisoning with chemicals, overdose with sedatives or alcohol;
• A profuse loss of blood leads to its weak movement along the vessels;
• Heart failure: acute or chronic;
• Fainting, coma;
• Chronic diseases.

Heart beat readings

Doctors analyze not only beat rhythm. To indicate what the thread-like pulse means, additional parameters are used:

• Voltage - set by the magnitude of the rise and fall of tremors. The indicator helps to assess the condition of the heart muscle.
• Filling - estimates the amount of blood moving along the vessel.
• Frequency per minute - is the main parameter for assessing the pulse. At every age and occasion, it can be different. So, the newborns can make 130 beats, and this is the norm.
• The amplitude determines the relationship between the inhalation of a person and the frequency of strokes.

If abnormalities are detected at the beginning of airflow into the lungs, then this state is defined as paradoxical. When the contraction of the left ventricle is violated, they make assumptions about an alternating version of the beats.

Help with a decrease in heart rate

If a person has a thread-like pulse, what to do, they know in the intensive care unit. It's better to call an ambulance immediately, it's about a person's health. It is not recommended to give the patient any medications, even those previously prescribed by the doctor. Slowing down the rhythm is often provoked by long-term medication. One of these is the drug for the stomach, "Omeprazole."

Restore the normal state of the circulatory system by observing the rules of healthy life. These include:

• Rational and timely nutrition;
• Refusal from alcohol, smoking and other bad habits;
• High-grade rest;
• Reduction of nervous tension, avoidance of stressful situations.

Normalize the cardiac indicators can be through physical training. The walls of the vessels, the heart muscle are strengthened with each new dose of internal transformations obtained after the exercises. If it is not possible to perform power elements by ordinary sports, resort to water procedures. Swimming excludes from work the load on the spine, movements are performed smoothly, without jerks and dynamics. So people are restored after strokes, heart attacks.

The work of the circulatory system occurs in optimal regimes on special simulators. The body is positively influenced by fresh air during a walk.
