My Mom is in the hospital for angina/BP 193/110. She has an IV site in for iv push meds. I thought they were
supposed to be clamped off when not in use but hers was not. Can you tell me why hers would not be clamped off and should I tell the nurse that I think it needs clamped off?
p.s. she does not have any meds running through it.
Yes, it is better to clamp it off or disconnect the tubing when not use (not the needle that attach to the skin, just the tubing). An IV site is an opening the artery in the body that can be easily contaminated and caused serious illness. Do not be afraid to ask the nurse why the IV isn’t clamped or disconnected. There might be a very good reason to it or they simply forgot to. If you have any concern, do not be afraid to ask. Nurses are taught to educate the patient and the family members. If you think there is something wrong, then go with your instinct because most of the time there is something wrong. Even when there is nothing wrong, it is still better to know what is going on so you can relief your stresses and concerns. Hope this help.

My stress test says: no angina but significant depression in leads II,aVF during exercise?
While reading the reports I found above statement on the stress test report — can anyone tell me what it means — thanks
No angina means no chest pain, VF is ventricular Fibrillation, and depression in Leads II I’m not sure what that means… Is this only while you were doing exercise? A fibrillation isn’t too serious if your DR knows about it. It just means your heart beat is a little abnormal.
OUR BABIES WEIGH OVER 700 LBS / 318 KG! (Maury) Part 4/5
Just wondering if anyone can help.I booked a holiday and insurance and was later found to have angina,I informed my insurance and I had to pay a supplement, which is understandable.I now have to have Angioplasty so do I need to inform them and will I have to pay extra again?
Thanks for any info.
I would definitely tell them. You would not want to find out after the fact of needing the insurance that it was invalidated because you did not disclose something. While you are on the phone with them, make sure that the insurance covers emergency air transport. Make them show you the wording, not just tell you yes.
I am so glad you get to take a holiday! Sounds like you could use some R&R…Mexico, right?
Over the last several years I have had chest pain, sharp, pinching type, but nothing in my left arm. When I asked the doctors abour it a couple years back, they said I just had “air bubbled” that somehow escaped my lungs and were bursting in the chest cavity. I pretty much ignore it when it happens, roughly every 6-8 months, but it has happened 2X in the last three days which is very unusual. I have a family history of angina problems, and I am 31. Is it possible I am having an attack?
it is happening now….
I don’t take any meds for it… I went to the Doc once and they blew it off… I was dealing with Navy Doc, the current one is really caring though even came to house to check on me once…
Any time any one ever mentions chest pain on this forum you always have at least one person pipe up and advise that you rush to the ER. All pain that eminates from the chest is not cardiac in source.
Typical angina is prompted with activity and improved with rest. It often is described as a tightness, a heaviness, or a fullness – occassionally a burning sense (rather than pain at all) in the central chest. (Never sharp pain) There are all sorts of variants to this, however. Neck and jaw sensation, shoulder, arm (more often left but could be either or both), epigastric and midscapular sensations are all possible in conjunction with cardiac symptoms. If you are experiencing cardiac discomfort it is almost always associated with shortness of breath. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweating, and a sense of “impending doom.” Cardiac discomfort also is almost never at a single point – in other words if you can point to the spot that hurts, it is very unlikely to be cardiac. Angina is more generalized.
Additionally we use risk factors to help identify the likelihood of cardiac pain. The big five are: Diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, and family history of early heart disease. If you have one or none of those risk factors, are a woman in her thirties, and have a sharp pain, then I would not give cardiac sources another thought – it is very, very unlikely.
If you have several of these risk factors then there is no time like the present to start working on them…call you doctor to discuss it.
Other than nitroglycerin medication, acupressure offers a remedy for angina, the pressing or gripping sensation in the chest. If an attack occurs unexpectedly and no medication is available, try pressing the middle of your left wrist about two inches from the base of the hand. Press hard with the nail tip of the right thumb until pain subsides. Of course, seek medical attention immediately.
Atherosclerosis – Symptoms, Causes, prevention and Treatment
By atherosclerosis the inside of the arteries are thickened, hardened and stiffened, causing the space for blood flow to be narrowed or closed. This will decrease the oxygen supply to local or distant tissues.
The primary symptom of this is pain, poor organ function and bad general condition. The further consequences are tissue damage, sometimes acute damage because by stop of blood flow caused by a sudden blood clot formed in the narrowed areas.
THE MECHANISMS AND CAUSES OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
The inner walls of the arteries consist of an innermost layer of endothelial cells (surface cells) and under these a layer of smooth muscle cells. The changes by atherosclerosis take place under the endothelial cells and in this muscle layer. The changes consist of: A certain degree of cell proliferation or tumour, gathering of cholesterol and fat. Deposition of calcium salts. Deposition of blood elements like fibrin.
The deposits are called atherosclerotic plaque or atheroma. Atherosclerosis is one of several types of artery thickening and hardening. Generally thickening and hardening of arteries is called arteriosclerosis. Often atherosclerosis is also called arteriosclerosis.
The development of atherosclerosis probably begins by a damage in the endothelium. This damage causes cholesterol and fat to penetrate into the vessel walls and deposit there. This also induces cells to proliferate. Later also calcium salts are deposited.
Factors that cause endothelial damage and thus atherosclerosis are:
-High content of cholesterol in the blood.
-High content of blood fat and especially saturated fat.
-Inflammation in the blood vessels. A sign of such inflammation is the presence of a substance called c-reactive protein.
-High amount of oxidation agents in the blood.
-High blood pressure.
-High content of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in the blood serum, and low content of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in the blood. Lipoprotein is a combination of a protein molecule and fat or cholesterol. Lipoproteins carry cholesterol or fat from place to place.
-Diabetes.
-High age.
-Smoking.
-Men have a somewhat higher chance of getting this condition than women.
-High content of the amino acid homocystein in the blood serum.
Many of these factors are ultimately caused by a bad diet and lack of daily exercise.
THE SYMPTOMS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Since atherosclerosis can affect all body parts, the symptoms will vary. Symptoms from the affected body parts are:
-Decreased performance, easy to tire out.
-Pain by physical activity, so called anoxic pain.
-By severe impairment of blood flow, tissue damage or sores can occur.
When the heart is affected, the symptoms will be:
-General bad condition.
-Anoxic pain from the heart by physical activity called angina pectoris.
-Feeling of not getting enough air, or breathing problems.
Atherosclerosis can cause blood clots that close the blood flow. There are several ways this can occur:
-The atherosclerotic plaque can rupture, making a sore in the inner wall of the vessel. At such a sore blood can coagulate, making a blood clot.
-The atherosclerotic plaque itself can grow to close a blood vessel.
-Blood coagulated at an affected area can tear loose, float with the blood stream to another place and prop a blood vessel at the new place.
-A portion of the plaque itself can tear itself loose and clog another blood vessel.
When the heart is stricken by a blood clot, heart tissue is suddenly destroyed, a condition called heart infarction, causing sudden heart failure or death.
When a blood clot strikes the brain, brain tissue is destroyed or impaired, causing paralysis, decreased consciousness, coma or other sudden functional impairments.
THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Atherosclerosis can be prevented and to some extend be cured by these measures, of which most are lifestyle adjustments:
-Eating just a little or moderate amount of fat.
-Eating just a moderate amount of sugar.
-The fat eaten should be a blending of different types of unsaturated fat from sources like: Olive oil, rape oil, sunflower oil, soy oil, walnut oil and fish. Then you will get enough of mono-unsaturated fat, omega-3-unsaturated fat, and omega-6-poly-unsaturated fat, but not too much of any of them.
-Eating much fish and just a little red meat.
-Eating a good amount of fruit and vegetables each day.
-Supply of enough vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.
-Only consuming moderate amount of salt.
-Stop smoking.
-Getting high blood pressure treated if lifestyle measures do not bring blood pressure down.
-Daily exercise fitted for one’s own condition.
-Eliminate stress in the daily life and at the job.
-Stressing sown and getting enough rest.
By high cholesterol levels that do not react properly to lifestyle measures, cholesterol lowering medication can be used, such as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
By serious local narrowing of an artery, surgery to clean out or widen the artery is sometimes performed. Sometimes the artery is replaced by a graft taken from another body part or by an artificial vessel. When this is done in the heart, it is denoted as bypass surgery.
Alternative treatment to clean out the arteries is an option. There is for example a treatment consisting of using the substance EDTA to carry constituents of plaque away from the arteries. The molecules of this substance have the ability to grip around other molecules, for example cholesterol molecules, and carry them away. There is however a controversy about the effectiveness of this treatment, called chelating therapy.

What is the difference between angina pectoris and myocardial infarction?
angina pectoris is the chest pain located in the retrosternal area, that can or not be caused by exercise, and can or not calm with rest (that depends if the angina is stable or unstable)
angina can be a cause by myocadial infarction, or just because of ischemia of the muscle.-
infartion is the death by necrosis of the heart cells, cause by the lack of oxygen.-
Chelation Therapy is Proven to Prevent and Treat Heart Disease and Certain Types of Cancer
On a daily basis, your body comes in contact with harmful toxins that can cause numerous health challenges and a decreased quality of life. Heavy metals are in our environment and nothing can be done to change that. We can limit the amount of new heavy-metal toxins entering our planet (although we haven’t done anything about it yet), but the levels that already exist cannot be removed. And when heavy-metal toxins are in the environment, they are in your bodies, with a potentially devastating impact on your health.
They’re in your food, in your water, your air, your place of work and in your home – you cannot escape them! Lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, and nickel are in your food, water and air, which means they also are in your body.
So, what is the solution?
Chelation Therapy is the introduction of naturally occurring or synthetic organic chemicals into the human body in order to facilitate chemical reactions, which lead to the discharge of poisonous metals from the body and the rearrangement of essential metals in the body for the promotion of life’s chemical reactions. Chelation Therapy is an extremely useful treatment and preventive measure for at least 80% of peripheral circulation problems
Are Toxic Heavy Metals a serious health problem?
Toxic Heavy Metals have been linked to many health problems and diseases that plaque us today. These ailments that toxic heavy metals have been implicated with include degenerative diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinsons and ALS. Circulatory problems like hardening of the arteries, atherilsclerosis, athrosclerosis, Angina, Peripheral Neuropathies, High blood pressure and blocked arteries. Many toxic heavy metals such as Mercury are neurotoxins that disrupt and change electrical pathways in your body helping to cause many neurological disorders, dementia and even death.
Is chelation therapy new?
Chelation therapy is not new. It’s been around for a long time. EDTA chelation’s main ingredient, a synthetic amino acid, very similar to four molecules of vinegar—was synthesized in Germany in 1935. It was used during WWII for detoxifying lead from the men who worked in battery factories or painted ships with lead-based paints. Thirty years ago, Dr. Garry Gordon established the first intravenous chelation protocol. And today, EDTA is the standard FDA approved treatment for lead, mercury, aluminum and cadmium poisoning. The American Heart Association also recognizes chelation therapy as a treatment for heavy metal poisoning.
Can chelation prevent impotence, heart disease, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis and even cancer?
Chelation authorities now say that the therapy’s beneficial effects on blood circulation may also have positive effects on impotence, intermittent claudication, and vision problems like age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma. And new research suggests that removing heavy metals through chelation can treat and/or prevent many serious diseases, including pancreatitis, gout, both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis-even cancer.

Has anyone had EECP Therapy ?
I have had angina for several years now and it is getting worse, I have a 70% blockage but they say its ok. Just take pills, and more pills. I have had enough pills and side effects, They do not work,, It has put my life on hold and have been reduced to using a walker because the pain is so bad sometimes i faint and fall . A friend suggested for me to go for EEcp therapy , however not many hospitals offer this as treatments for people like me. Why is that ? and has anyone gone through it? Thank You
EECP will definitly help you. Why more doctors prefer this treatment. Cuz mostly doctors like invasive procedures for which they just earn a lot within hours and if they go for eecp , a single patient will give them nothing for 35 days. For more details visit http://www.eecpclinic.com

Atherosclerosis is a serious life-threatening form of heart disease that research shows may be treated by the enzyme Nattokinase, which is found in a special blended enzyme called Neprinol. Because heart disease is the leading cause of death in both women and men, it is an issue that all adults need to be aware of and seek to prevent. Genetic factors sometimes predispose certain individuals to heart disease, but most of the high risk factors, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure, which contribute to the onset of heart disease, are highly preventable and should be avoided. Neprinol cleanses the body from unhealthy cholesterol which creates a serious threat to atherosclerosis.
Because atherosclerosis is a progressive condition that develops gradually, the symptoms often go undetected until it begins to present serious problems in blood circulation. Symptoms may then present as:
• Numbness in the limbs
• Erectile dysfunction in men
• Slurred speech
• Pain or chest discomfort (also known as angina)
Clear arteries are able to function as intended by circulating life-giving oxygen and much needed nutrients from the heart through the rest of the body. However, when these vessels harden, they become inflexible and can greatly restrict the natural circulation of blood. This hardening of the arteries condition is medically referred to as arteriosclerosis. A specific type of this arteriosclerosis is atherosclerosis, which is characterized by fat deposits that cause a restriction of blood circulation and, instead, begin to form plaque on artery walls. When these plaques erupt, they often cause blood clots that create further blockages and increase low blood circulation while gravely endangering the heart and other organs in the process. Atherosclerosis is both treatable and preventable through natural treatments.
Neprinols special blend of enzymes boosts the body’s ability to dissolve blood clots, which otherwise threaten circulation and can lead to Atherosclerosis. Available in oral doses and without a prescription, Neprinol contains no animal derivatives and is safe to use with other natural supplements and other prescription drugs, with the exception of pharmaceutical anticoagulants and blood-thinners.
Did you know, Atherosclerosis-related diseases are a leading cause of death and impairment in the United States, affecting over 60 million people.While some people currently take daily aspirin doses in an attempt to reduce blood clots and thwart a heart attack, some report allergic reactions to aspirin, as well as gastrointestinal bleeding, a persistent ringing in the ears and even hearing loss as a result of aspirin therapy. Neprinol may be more suitable for people who are sensitive to aspirin intake as it also works to thin the blood, but does so without many of the side effects associated with daily aspirin use.
Recently a new enzyme with potent fibrinolytic activity that rivals pharmaceutical agents has been discovered and shows great potential in providing support for hypercoagulative states. Although heart disease is the primary reason for death in women and men, it can be avoided and treated if already diagnosed with Neprinol. Discover how live blood video microscopy is providing the proof patients are lookung for.

I’ve never even heard of someone having a fever as high as he has, he was admitted at 108 degrees. His heart rate was close to 200 bpm, he was suffering angina and he also has parkinson’s. Apparently he doesn’t know what’s going on around him. Doctors have no idea what is causing this, and I am worried sick. He’s been like my father and is the kindest man I’ve ever known.
What happens to the body with such an extreme fever? Is there any chance he could survive this and if so could he possibly ever be the same? Has anyone else ever heard of/experienced these symptoms? What on earth could be happening to him?
I’m so upset and it’s difficult to not know what’s going on, I also live across the country from my family who are all at the hospital with him. If anyone could offer some insight I would be grateful.
It’s some kind of powerful acute infection, possibly encephalitis. It is very serious when the temp. gets so high and the longer it remains there the more damage it does to the brain. But doctors and hospital staff know how to control high fevers. They’ve been doing it for decades. Still, this is a very severe illness and may very well have lasting effects on his mental capacities. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
A woman returned home from a visit to the doctor. She was in floods of
tears. Her husband asked what was wrong and she explained that, after the
doctor had given her a full examination, the doctor had said that she had
quite a nice pussy. The husband was outraged and stormed off to see the
doctor. He demanded to know why the doctor had said such a thing to his
wife. The doctor said, “Well, I didn’t exactly say that. I said that she
had acute angina”.
Very few people spend much time in consciously controlling their breathing
In fact for the majority of people, breathing is simply an automatic process that happens unconsciously. Unfortunately, this includes breathing in an unhealthy way.
Most of us are well aware of our body’s need for oxygen. Without it we would very quickly become unconscious and die.
But contrary to popular belief, carbon dioxide is just as essential to life as oxygen.
When we breathe incorrectly, we reduce the amount of carbon dioxide available to us and this can have a profound and harmful effect on our body – and our mind.
You see, if there is insufficient carbon dioxide in the blood, it creates ‘alkaline blood’, which causes a constriction of the blood vessels.
And this in turn allows less oxygen to reach the vital organs.
Incorrect breathing that decreases the carbon dioxide available to our bodies can cause a whole range of health problems.
Included in these are cardiac problems, including ‘angina’ and palpitations.
The respitory functions may also be affected producing chest pain, shortness of breath and asthma. Also, muscular cramps, tremors and fibrositis may be experienced
As if this weren’t enough, psychologically speaking, incorrect breathing that limits the amount of carbon dioxide available can create real tension, anxiety, sleep disturbances and a lack of concentration.
All of these things are good reasons for you to learn how to breathe in a proper and healthy way.
Here’s a simple 5 step approach to healthy breathing.
1. Inhale and exhale through the nose whenever possible, even during physical exercise. Simply because the nostrils are smaller than the mouth, the volume of air is greatly reduced.
2. Change from breathing with the chest to breathing with the abdomen or belly. An easy way to do this is to relax in a chair, put one hand on your tummy and the other on your chest and then breathe so that the hand on your chest hardly moves while the hand on your stomach rises and falls gently.
Once you have mastered this way of breathing, work on doing it while standing and then move on to learning how to use it when walking and moving around.
3. Focus on making your breathing shallow. Try to minimise the movement of the hand resting on your tummy.
4. Make your breathing slow in order to minimise your breathing. The aim is to breathe around 6 to 8 breaths per minute – or about 1 every 10 seconds.
5. Focus on developing a regular and steady rhythm. This will cause you to stop holding your breath for irregular periods and then ‘sighing’.
Practice breathing like this for a minimum of 3 times a day for at least 10 minutes.
Be patient!
It takes time to change anything as entrenched as our breathing habits, but with persistence you can certainly do it.
The effort really is worthwhile and, as the supply of oxygen to your body’s vital organs improves so will your physical – and psychological health.

I need doctors advice HELP PLEASE, Here is my Question,?
If a man of 56 is on 15-18 tablets aday for the last 15yrs for serious back pain, nerves and depression and angina, what effects would the body take if he was told to stop taking all the tablets bar the 2, one for back pain and one for nerves and depression….. could it be dangerous
you have been given your pills for a reason. it’s because the doctor thinks you need them. if you remain relatively healthy while taking the pills, why stop them?
DRUGS Class and Mechanism: Amlodipine is in a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. These drugs calcium transport in the block of smooth muscle cells along the coronary arteries and arteries of the body. Since calcium is important in muscle contraction, blocking calcium transport relaxes artery muscles and dilates the arteries coronary arteries of the body. With the relaxation of coronary arteries, amlodipine is useful in preventing chest pain (angina pectoris) resulting spasm of the coronary artery. Relax the muscles along the streets the rest of the body reduces blood pressure, which reduces the load the heart that pumps blood to the body. Reduce the workload on the heart reduces heart muscle oxygen demand, and also helps prevent angina pectoris in patients with coronary artery disease. For more information related to coronary heart disease, please see chest pain, cholesterol, heart attacks and items.
STORAGE: Amlodipine should be stored at room temperature in a steep, container-resistant light.
Hint: chest pain (angina) is caused by lack of oxygen to heart muscles. Insufficient oxygen may be the result of an obstruction or coronary artery spasm, or physical exertion which increases heart oxygen demand in a patient with coronary artery stenosis. Amlodipine is used for treating and prevention of angina pectoris due to coronary spasm, and by the effort. Amlodipine is also used to treat high blood pressure.
DOSAGE: Amlodipine can taken with or without food. Amlodipine is metabolized by the liver and dosages may need to be reduced in patients with impaired liver.
Drug Interactions: In patients with severe coronary artery disease, amlodipine can increase the frequency and severity of angina or actually cause a heart attack on rare occasions. This phenomenon usually occurs during the first starting amlodipine, or when the dose increase. Decreased blood pressure in excess of the initiation of treatment with amlodipine may occur, especially in patients already taking other medication lowers blood pressure. In rare cases, congestive heart failure was associated with amlodipine, usually in patients already on beta-blocker. For more information on beta-blockers, Please read propranolol (Inderal) article.
PREGNANCY: Generally, amlodipine prevents pregnancy and nursing women and children.
Breastfeeding: In general, amlodipine prevents pregnancy and nursing mothers and children.
SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects of amlodipine are generally mild and reversible. The two most common side effects are headache and edema (swelling) in legs. Less common side effects include dizziness, hot flashes, fatigue, nausea and palpitations.
What happens to your body with high blood pressure?
What's happening in your body if the pressure pressure is controlled?
You've probably heard that blood pressure may contribute to heart disease, stroke stroke and kidney failure. You can better understand the risks if you can visualize what is happening in your body.
In short, if your blood pressure is high, your heart must work harder than normal, putting the heart and arteries under greater pressure.
Its heart
If you work hard weightlifting, arm muscles grow. Similarly, when the heart must work harder over a long period, tends to grow. When blood pressure is too high, your heart must work harder to pump enough blood and oxygen to organs and body tissues to meet their needs. Stretching and thickened heart muscle and the heart stops working properly. A significantly enlarged heart has difficulty to meet the demands placed on it and can not.
Arteries
The arteries are the vessels that carry blood throughout the body. When blood pressure is too high, the arteries become scarred, hardened and less elastic. This occurs to some extent in all of us as the age, but blood pressure accelerates this process, called "Hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis.
Hardened or narrowed arteries may be able to provide the amount of blood organs body needs. If the organs do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, they can not function properly. There is also the risk that a clot blood can lodge in an artery narrowed by atherosclerosis, depriving part of the body's normal blood supply.
If the arteries feeding the heart become clogged, blood flow to parts of the heart slows. When a vessel is completely closed, the blood stops flowing to a part of the heart, and lots of heart muscle damage. It is a heart attack.
The narrowing of the arteries may also cause chest pain called chest. The narrowing of the arteries in the legs causes cramps and pain because the tissues do not receive enough oxygen.
Your brain
Move can be caused by the progressive narrowing of blood vessels in the brain. When blood flow becomes inadequate, brain cells are deprived of oxygen and die. The narrowing of the vessels also leads to a situation in which a blood clot can move through the arteries, it blocks the flow blood and deprives the tissue beyond oxygen. About 80% of strokes are caused by a blockage in an artery in the neck or brain.
People experiencing stroke are often left with paralysis on one side of the body and loss of speech.
A stroke is an emergency This is a heart attack. The symptoms are:
Weakness, numbness or paralysis of the face, arm or leg – especially on one side of body Difficulty speaking or understanding simple sentences Blurred or decreased vision in both eyes or Headaches, unexplained severe blow Dizziness, loss of balance or loss of coordination, especially when combined with another symptom Sudden nausea, vomiting and fever – a viral disease distinguished by speed of onset (minutes or hours rather than several days) brief loss of consciousness or period of impaired consciousness (fainting, confusion, convulsions or coma). Kidneys
High blood pressure can cause a narrowing of the arteries of the kidneys – as in other parts of your body – which can lead to kidney kidney. The main function of the kidneys is to filter toxic substances blood. This is done in specialized structures inside the kidneys. vessels of the blood pressure within these structures is essential for the proper functioning filtering.
When arteries are narrowed and thickened high blood pressure by blood flow, the filter structures is reduced to stop working correctly. The amount of fluid the kidneys can not filter is reduced, leading to kidney failure. The toxic substances accumulate in the body. People with kidney must undergo dialysis – using a machine as an artificial kidney – and, ultimately, may need to have a kidney transplant.
Kidney has its own feedback mechanism to maintain optimal blood pressure to ensure proper operation. When the detection mechanism of blood pressure that is too low, it tries to compensate by increasing blood pressure, which begins a deadly spiral of pressure higher and higher.
Your eyes
As in other parts of his body, blood vessels in the eyes may also be narrow and harden due to uncontrolled blood pressure. This may cause blood clots and bleeding in the eye, leading to a lack of vision and even blindness.

Also known as myocardial infarction, myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death worldwide. An average 1.2 million Americans suffer a heart attack a year and 40% of these people die. This condition is characterized by an interruption of blood flow to particular region in the heart. The interruption results from lack of oxygen, which causes tissue damage and death of cardiac tissue.
The persons with a history of stroke, atherosclerotic heart disease or angina pectoris and heart rate Abnormal have an increased risk of suffering a heart attack. The disease mainly affects men over age 40 and women over 50 years. There are also medical studies and scientific evidence indicating that women who use oral contraceptives have an increased risk of heart attack than those who do not use it. lifestyle of a person may also increase the risk of heart attacks. Smoking, drinking, drug abuse, the presence of high levels of triglycerides in the foods you eat, high levels of LDL and low HDL levels are risk factors that must learn to avoid.
