Heart attack and how to fight against



The heart is a muscle that pumps blood around the body. In a heart attack (myocardial infarction), part of the heart muscle getting to die while not getting blood. To stay healthy, the heart requires oxygen and nutrients carried by the other's blood. This is obtained through the arteria (blood vessel) coronary, which wrap the outside of the heart.
If the work system of the heart is damaged, the normal rhythm of the heart can become chaotic and the heart began to tremble with uncertainty or experiencing fibrillation. This abnormal rhythm known as arrhythmia is a deviation from normal heart rhythm. This will cause the heart to lose its ability to effectively pump blood to the brain. Within ten minutes, brain death and the patient was beyond help.

In addition to coronary heart disease due to fat deposition in the arterial wall, there are also other heart diseases caused birth defects. For example imperfect heart, heart valve disorders, weakened heart muscle. Another cause is the bacteria that cause infections of the heart.


If the symptoms of heart attacks happen to you:


Recognize any of these symptoms occur whether chest pain, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations.

Immediately stop all work no matter what you are doing and sit or lie down while you breathe deeply.

If you are alone while the symptoms lasted more than a few minutes immediately contact the local emergency phone number and say you have a heart attack. Or contact the people around you to give the same information.

If anyone can take you to the hospital faster than the arrival of paramedics, immediately asked for assistance to go take you to the emergency room at the hospital. Faster would be better handled.

But if you wait for paramedics to come, so while waiting, you can loosen tight clothing, including belts or ties. Create yourself in a position that feels comfortable.

Remain calm, no matter you are the victim or benefactor. Panic can increase the likelihood of arrhythmia or heart rhythm irregularities that threaten life.

The symptoms are perceived if you have coronary heart disease include pain or pain in the chest where most people thought it was just as indigestion. Then the other symptoms of feeling depressed in the middle of the chest for 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Another thing is the cold sweat, palpitations, dizziness, and felt like fainting. These symptoms are not always perceived the sufferer. Other warning signs are gasping for breath during exercise.

For several months before a heart attack heart disease usually often feel very tired. Do not assume these symptoms are caused by lack of sleep and stress of the job.

Pain or feeling pressured in the chest, called angina, gave warning to half of those who suffer a heart attack. Some people experience breathless or exhausted and feeling weak as the symptoms, indicating that the heart is not getting enough oxygen because of coronary blockage.

Usually a few days before having a massive heart attack, a person will experience muscle contractions suddenly in the chest which is a small attack or a mild heart attack. Generally mild heart attack occurred before the major attack a few days later.

Overcoming Heart Disease


If you feel the early symptoms of heart disease or had suffered a mild heart attack, do not ignore it. You really need early treatment by trained medical personnel. This can save the heart from further damage and can even prevent more fatal consequences such as death.

But if heart attack symptoms begin to occur, it is important to seek immediate medical assistance. Greatest risk of death from heart attack is within one hour after a heart attack. Treatment quickly and accurately from the medical team could save the heart muscle from damage that can not be repaired. The more heart muscle is saved, the more effective heart pumping will return after the attack. Do not put off getting medical help because of fear is considered absurd.

If the blockage has occurred, the medical action is generally taken with the installation of catheterization and the ring that prevents coronary arteries are not clogged. However, there may be some blockage in other arteries.
