When the flow of blood to the human heart is reduced or shut off, the heart is deprived of
required oxygen. If
blood flow is not restored within minutes, parts of the heart
muscle will start to die, causing permanent damage to the heart muscle. This
process is called myocardial infarction, and more commonly
called a heart attack. Because this happens when the coronary arteries
cannot provide the heart with needed oxygen, doctors also call a heart attack
a "coronary." With the beginning of a heart attack, the primary symptom is a consistent deep,
often severe sharp pain in the chest that can spread to the left arm,
jaw, neck, and the region between the shoulder blades. The pain may
last for up to 12 hours. Many persons who have had heart attacks
describe it as a heavy, substernal pressure that makes it feel as if
the chest is being squeezed. Other symptoms include: breath shortness, sweating, nausea, and vomiting.
Also, a heart attack
can cause abnormal heartbeat rhythms which are known as arrhythmias. Arrhythmias
cause in over 500,000 deaths in the USA every year
and that number is rising, in spite of improved cardiac
resuscitative techniques. There are three basic scenarios that can
produce a heart attack. The first, and the most common, is
partial or complete blockage of one of the arteries that supply the
heart with oxygen, very often by a blood clot. Normally the arteries
have been narrowed by years of coronary artery disease where
plaque, which is composed of cholesterol rich fatty deposits,
proteins, and excess smooth muscle cells, builds upon the
arterial walls. The arterial walls then thicken, slowing and reducing the flow of
blood to the heart muscle. The roughening of arterial walls by
deposits of plaque not only narrows the arteries, but also makes it
much easier for blood clots to form on the inner surfaces. When a clot
grows, or detaches from its place of origin and travels through the
blood vessels, the clot may block a coronary artery entirely thus
causing a heart attack. In the second heart attack scenario, an arrhythmia
may set in, so that the heart is no longer pumping enough blood to
ensure a proper supply. In the third, a weak spot in a blood vessel,
called an aneurysm, may break or rupture, causing internal bleeding and
disrupting normal blood flow. Anything that puts extra stress on the
heart and/or blood vessels an emotional crisis, a heavy meal,
over-exertion from exercise or heavy lifting may serve as a trigger for
a heart attack, but such factors are not the underlying cause Persons
considered to be at greater than normal risk of heart attack are those
with a family history of heart disease; those who smoke
and/or abuse drugs; people with diabetes, high
blood pressure, high cholesterol
and/or triglyceride levels; sedentary people "couch potato",
and those who are under stress
and/or who have "type A" personalities Over 30% of all
heart attacks occur without any warning at all. The remainder are preceded by
months or even years of symptoms, most commonly angina pectoris chest
pain that is typically aggravated by stress or physical exertion and
relieved by rest Like a heart attack, angina is caused by a lack of
oxygen in the heart muscle, but the amount of oxygen deprivation is
not enough to actually damage the heart tissue Many people complain of
intermittent angina, shortness of breath, and/or unusual fatigue in
the days or weeks leading up to a heart attack. A constant sensation
of heartburn that persists for days and
from which antacids provide no relief can be a sign of an impending
heart attack The lifestyle changes listed on this webpage and dietary
supplements can help prevent heart problems and also provide good
health overall.
