A member asked:
Why do heart muscles hibernate and how to reactivate them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart muscle active: Your heart muscle never hibernates (goes to sleep for a period of time). The heart muscle works according to the demand made upon it. Normally, if you are sitting or resting peacefully the heart does not have to beat rapidly or forcefully. If you are exercising or blood pressure is elevated the heart muscle must produce more force and in the case of exercise more speed as well.
