Scientists have uncovered the secret of how not to die from a heart attack in old age

MOSCOW, October 22 - RIA Novosti . The chances of death from heart attack or stroke in the elderly can be significantly reduced, even when engaged in the most simple physical exercises or charging, Canadian cardiologists say in an article published in the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention.

"This is good news for people with existing heart problems, who are hard to constantly do aerobics, charging or maintain other forms of physical activity. Even a small improvement in their physical training will be enough to dramatically reduce the chances of having a stroke or heart attack. It is not necessary to be supersportsmenom to obtain the advantages of charge, "- said Daniel Qurna (Daniel Curnier) from the University of Montreal (Canada).

Cournot and his colleagues came to this conclusion after analyzing the state of health of two hundred and four elderly men of dozens of women in the recent past have experienced a stroke, ischemic heart disease, coronary insufficiency, or a number of other problems with the cardiovascular system.

Scientists: 15 minutes of charging per day reduces the risk of premature death by 22%

All these people have agreed to undergo a simple test of physical training - rotate the pedals on a bicycle simulator, during which scientists monitor the condition of their heart, blood vessels and other body parts.

As shown by these observations, people with relatively normal levels of physical training, even those whose physiological parameters were 20% below normal, much better handle the load than the rest of the experiment. This, as noted by cardiologists, several times reduces the likelihood of a second heart attack or stroke.

Scientists try to "resurrect" dead brain with the help of proteins

"In our clinical practice we often meet people who come to the centers of cardiac rehabilitation in an absolutely obscene shape, which never engaged or not engaged in charging This negatively affects their health, and lead to further problems in the future." - Says Maxim Karoo (Maxime Caru), another author of the paper.

According to Kara and Cournot, the easiest way to avoid these problems, follow the existing WHO recommendations, according to which a healthy person should spend 150 minutes per week for light exercise. In this case, the probability of death from heart problems and blood vessels is extremely low, the scientists conclude.
