Abnormal Heart Rhythm / Arrhythmia

Abnormal Heart Rhythm / Arrhythmia - How to prevent?

How is abnormal heart rhythm / arrhythmia prevented?

While arrhythmias may not always be prevented, having regular health screening or checkups with your doctor can help you note on any irregularities in heart rhythms.

It is also advisable for lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of a heart disease, which can in turn prevent arrhythmias. Some ways to lead a heart-healthy lifestyle include:

Stop or not start on smoking
Take two servings of fruits and three servings of vegetables daily
Achieve and maintain a healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) between 18.5 to 22.9 kg/m2
Exercise at least 150 minutes a week, of moderate intensity exercise
