Sanatoriums with treatment of the cardiovascular system in Russia

Myocardial infarction is an acute ischemic disease of the heart muscle, which causes disruptions in the blood supply to the heart and the supply of oxygen and nutrients to it. In the absence of proper medical care within two hours after a heart attack, the risk of death for a person increases . Heart attack is the most common cause of death in ischemic diseases.

Cost of living

Symptoms of a heart attack may include the following:

• Pain in the heart area;
• Rapid pulse;
• Dizziness and loss of consciousness;
• Increased sweating;
• Manifestation of general weakness and drowsiness;
• Nausea.

From the outside, you can notice that the person cannot concentrate and is very pale. Such symptoms should be a reason to immediately call an ambulance . When the diagnosis is confirmed, the patient must be hospitalized in a medical facility.

How to prevent first and second heart attacks

To protect yourself from heart attack and complications, you need to follow simple and well-known conditions:

• Quit smoking, which causes damage to blood cells and disrupts the function of the heart and blood vessels.
• Lower cholesterol levels to reduce the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques and the development of atherosclerosis, which causes a heart attack.
• Pay attention to physical activity. A sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of gradual changes in the arteries, and then the appearance of atherosclerosis.
• Stick to a diet. Excess weight is accompanied by the accumulation of deposits in the blood vessels and the gradual development of atherosclerosis.
• Blood pressure control. A sharp change in blood pressure leads to micro-tears in the walls of the artery. They heal and become the site of fatty plaque formation. High blood pressure makes the arteries less elastic, which also increases the risk of atherosclerosis.

Rehabilitation after a heart attack

After a heart attack, in order to normalize the patient’s condition, it is recommended that he spend the first two weeks in a hospital setting, where he will be provided with proper care. Staying in a hospital after such an illness is very important for monitoring the patient’s health. After the condition has stabilized, the patient is discharged and can go home for further rehabilitation.

The main task for proper care of a patient after a heart attack is complete and unquestioning compliance with all recommendations of specialists .
In most cases, the patient is prescribed a considerable list of medications that must be taken according to a specially prescribed regimen. A person after a heart attack is practically unable to carry out any household chores on his own, much less monitor compliance with doctors’ orders. Such responsibilities do not fall on the shoulders of the patient’s relatives.

Sanatoriums in Russia with treatment of the cardiovascular system, how to choose the appropriate option

The main thing for the customer is not to focus on a loud brand or loud advertising, but to identify a list of purely personal requirements that the establishment must meet. And then see what is on the market that meets the stated requirements.

The following factors are most often important:

• Price level. A kopeck saves the ruble. The question becomes especially important if you go on vacation and for treatment several times a year. In this scenario, using the services of expensive establishments may not be the wisest choice. Although, no one cancels the stereotype, the higher the price, the better the quality. But I still don’t want to overpay for a trip.
• Programs.

Features of home care

For complete rehabilitation, the patient needs bed rest . For people who have suffered a myocardial infarction, it is necessary to create the most comfortable conditions for a long stay in a supine position.

Also, the rehabilitation course includes mandatory protection of the patient from various stresses and experiences .
It is very important not only to provide high-quality and comfortable conditions, but also to provide moral support to the person so that he does not feel like a burden to his loved ones.

Recommendations on the frequency of the rehabilitation course

Only your attending physician can give precise instructions and formulate contraindications. It is worth understanding that recovery also puts some strain on the body. And it will be important to make sure that this action does not cause harm.

First, remember that after emergency intervention or during an exacerbation, long, grueling trips are generally contraindicated.

Secondly, literally “living” in a health center is also not a good idea. Many procedures are periodic. They can be used two to three times a year in complex conditions. The rest of the time you can stay in the health resort, but just for relaxation.

Having studied our small list, we can conclude that there are a huge number of cardiac sanatoriums where the heart, blood vessels, vascular diseases and other disorders of internal organs are treated in our country. And what is no less interesting is that the quality of their work has now significantly increased compared to ten years ago. Now, for such purposes, there is no point in leaving the Russian Federation; the European level of procedures and service can easily be found in Crimea or the Moscow region.
