~ Heart Attack
Heart attack is a condition when the damage suffered by the heart muscle (myocardium) due to a very sudden loss of blood supply to it. Reduced blood supply to the heart suddenly can occur when one of the coronary artery blockage was for some time, either due to spasm - coronary arteries to tighten - or akibar blood pergumpalan - thrombus. Section of heart muscle that is usually supplied by a pulse terblokade cease to function properly immediately after splasme subsides by itself, the symptoms disappeared completely and the heart muscle to function completely normally again. This is often called crescendo angina or coronary insufficiency. Conversely, if the blood supply to the heart stops altogether, the cells in question experienced a permanent change in just a few wad only and referred to the heart muscle is severely degraded or damaged permanently. Dead muscle is called infarction.
~ Symptoms of Heart Attack
These symptoms can be different for each person. A heart attack may begin with a vague pain, vague discomfort, or tightness in the front center chest. Sometimes, a heart attack caused only mild discomfort at all so it is often mistaken for indigestion, or even escape the attention at all. In this case, the only way that allows the detection of a heart attack is when an ECG should undergo examination for other reasons that may not be related. On the other hand, heart attacks may bring the worst pain ever experienced - a remarkable tightness or feeling pinched in the chest, throat or stomach. Can also heat or cold sweat, longlegs painful and fear that the end was approaching. Also may feel more comfortable when sitting than when lying down and breathing may be so crowded that can not be relaxed. Nausea and dizziness and even vomiting, and even more of when to collapse and unconsciousness.
There are some more specific symptoms, including:
* Pain. If the muscles are not getting enough blood (a condition called ischemia), then the oxygen is inadequate and the result of excessive metabolic causes cramps or spasms. Angina is a feeling of tightness in pappa pappa or squeezing feeling, which arises when the heart muscle not getting enough blood. The type and severity of pain or discomfort will vary in each person. Some people experience a lack of blood flow could not feel any pain at all (a condition called silent ischemia). * Shortness of breath is a common symptom in heart failure. Shortness is a result of the entry of fluid into the airspaces in the lungs (pulmonary congestion or pulmonary edema). * Fatigue or tiredness. If the heart is not pumping effectively, the blood flow to muscles during activity will be reduced, causing the patient to feel weak and tired. These symptoms are often mild. To overcome this, the patient usually gradually reduce their activity or thought that these symptoms as part of aging. * Palpitations (heart palpitations) Dizziness & fainting. Decreased blood flow due to rate or abnormal heart rhythms or because of poor pumping ability, can cause dizziness and fainting.
Early Warning Signs
However, one very idea that a heart attack came like lightning in broad daylight. Heart attack is the culmination of a process of catastrophic damage that lasts a long time, which often involves emotional surprises, chaos physiological and mental fatigue. Early warning signs are so subjective and so subtle, so that even doctors who are trained to objectively measure everything can still be ignored.
Based on the perceived symptoms, a doctor can make a rational estimate of whether the symptoms suggest a heart attack or not. Suspicions may be confirmed by the appearance of the patient, the level of blood pressure and heartbeat sounds. The doctor will probably send him to the ECG examination and blood test, but if still feel the pain, the doctor will probably give an injection penghilangrasa pain before the examination. It's scary because the pain can be brought to the brink of a deeper, which can cause cardiac symptoms. The pain can also cause long-term psychological impact. The first ECG may show no signs of heart attack and that the examination may be repeated. Sometimes a second test still showed no change, and during this, the diagnosis will rely on blood tests. The heart, like all other body cells, contain special chemicals called enzymes. When heart cells are damaged, enzymes are released together with circulating blood flow. After a heart attack, levels of some enzymes is straight up, but then these enzymes quickly break down and therefore not detected again after a day or two days; there is a new enzyme that released some wad or a few days later to stay in the blood for several days or even a few weeks.
