Re: Aikido and heart illness
<nurse health education mode on>
First of all, disrhythmia is not an indication for a bypass. A bypass is a surgical intervention to deal with a blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the heart. Alterations in the rhythm of the heart are caused by electrical misfiring and are usually treated with either medication or an implanted pacemaker.
<nurse health education mode off> Now as to aikido....
After a person has been through any kind of medical treatment or surgical procedure, a plan for rehab should be developed with the doctor and physical therapist. There are certainly many people who have incorporated aikido into their lives after being both medically stable and physically rehabbed enough.
