Does anemia lead to a fast heart rate?

Anemia may lead to a rapid heart rate.

When anemia occurs, the hemoglobin content in the blood decreases, and the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin decreases, resulting in hypoxia of the whole body tissues and organs. In order to meet the needs of oxygen metabolism of the body tissues and organs, myocardial contraction increases, and the heart rate increases, thereby increasing cardiac output. However, a prolonged increase in heart rate may damage the heart, leading to the occurrence of anemia heart disease.

Anemia patients go to the hospital daily to find out the cause and treatment to alleviate the phenomenon of rapid heart rate. Patients with this disease should also supplement nutrition and eat more iron-rich foods.
