A myocardial infarction, or heart attack, occurs when one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked, preventing oxygenated blood from reaching an area of the heart muscle. This prolonged lack of oxygen can cause the death of heart muscle tissue. The most common cause of a heart attack is a buildup of fatty plaque in the coronary arteries. Risk factors that can lead to this blockage include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. Symptoms of a heart attack can include chest pain, pain in other areas of the upper body, shortness of breath, sweating, weakness, and nausea. An electrocardiogram is often used to diagnose a heart attack and determine its location in order to
The document discusses various aspects of cardiac anatomy, physiology, and high blood pressure. It describes tests used to evaluate the heart like electrocardiograms and echocardiograms. It also discusses how high blood pressure in pregnancy can endanger both mother and fetus, listing conditions like preeclampsia. Further, it outlines complications of uncontrolled high blood pressure like heart attack, stroke, and aneurysm. The document also examines different classes of blood pressure medications like ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics.
The document provides warning signs and symptoms of heart attacks. It notes that up to 60% of heart attacks are "silent" with no noticeable symptoms. Common symptoms include chest pain and discomfort in the left arm, but heart attacks can occur without chest pains. Less common warning signs include abdominal pain, fatigue, nausea and cold sweats. The document recommends calling emergency services immediately if a heart attack is suspected and provides tips on first aid measures and equipment that can help prevent death from a heart attack.
The document discusses heart attacks, including what they are, their causes, symptoms, and how to manage someone having a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery becomes blocked, starving part of the heart of oxygen. Common symptoms include chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath, and pale or sweaty skin. If someone is having a heart attack, it is important to call emergency services, keep the person comfortable, and provide first aid such as oxygen until help arrives.
This document discusses emergency care related to cardiac arrest and CPR. It describes the heart's location and function, as well as the signs and types of cardiac arrest including ventricular fibrillation, pulseless electrical activity, and asystole. The importance of early intervention through the chain of survival is emphasized, including early access to emergency care, early CPR, early defibrillation if needed, and early advanced care. Proper CPR techniques are outlined including compression depth and rate varying based on the patient's age. Potential complications of CPR are also noted.
Joel P.D. presents on understanding the differences between a heart attack, cardiac arrest, and stroke. A cardiac arrest is an electrical disorder where the heart stops beating due to irregular electrical activity. A heart attack is a circulation disorder where blood flow to the heart is blocked, but the heart continues beating. A stroke is a brain disorder where a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked or ruptures. The document outlines the symptoms of each condition to distinguish between them and stresses the importance of understanding their differences to seek proper treatment.

Angina and its types by Abu Raihan ShamsMdshams244
This document discusses the different types of angina, including stable angina, unstable angina, variant angina, and microvascular angina. Stable angina is the most common type and is triggered by physical activity, with pain relieved by rest. Unstable angina can occur at rest and is more dangerous, as it suggests a heart attack may soon happen. Variant angina is rare and caused by coronary artery spasms, while microvascular angina occurs when the smallest coronary arteries are not working properly. The document also covers the definition, symptoms, causes, pathophysiology, risk factors, and references for further information about angina.

The document discusses various components of the central nervous system (CNS), including the tentorium cerebelli, cerebral blood flow, cerebral perfusion pressure, intracranial pressure, and the body's reaction to increased intracranial pressure. It notes that as intracranial pressure increases, cerebral perfusion pressure decreases, potentially leading the brain to herniate through openings in the skull. It also describes Cushing's triad, a sign of rising intracranial pressure marked by increasing blood pressure, changes in respiration, and decreasing heart rate.
The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. The pumped blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body, while carrying metabolic waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs. In humans, the heart is approximately the size of a closed fist and is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest.
Heart disease describes a range of conditions that affect your heart. Heart diseases include:
Blood vessel disease, such as coronary artery disease
Heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias)
Heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects)
Heart valve disease
Disease of the heart muscle
Heart infection
Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.
This presentation is about heart disease. Heart attack is the most dangerous non-communicable disease in this time. Here you can know what are the symptoms and how to prevent heart attack.
Chest pain or discomfort
Common presenting symptom of cardiovascular disease
May be cardiac or noncardiac in origin.
Cardiac – angina, MI, pericarditis, mitral valve prolapse, dissecting aortic aneurysm
Non cardiac – anemia (physical exertion), cervical disc disease, anxiety, trigger points etc
Follows pattern of ulnar nerve distribution (heart supplied by C3-T4 spinal segments)
Radiating pain to neck, jaw, upper trapezius, upper back, shoulder or arms (commonly left
Angina pectoris, commonly known as angina, is a sensation of chest pain or pressure due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle from obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries. It is usually caused by coronary artery disease, an atherosclerotic process affecting the arteries feeding the heart. Angina is classified as stable angina, which occurs with exertion, or unstable angina, which occurs at rest or with minimal exertion and is more severe. Signs of angina include chest discomfort, pain in the epigastrum, nausea, and pallor. Risk factors include age, smoking, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and certain medications. Diagnosis involves tests such as ECG,
The document provides guidance on evaluating patients presenting with cardiovascular symptoms such as chest pain. It discusses taking a focused history and performing a thorough cardiovascular examination. The examination should follow a systematic approach and focus on listening to heart sounds and murmurs at different locations. Common cardiovascular conditions are reviewed, including how they may present on examination. For example, aortic stenosis may cause a slow rising pulse with a systolic murmur best heard at the right sternal border, while aortic regurgitation can lead to a collapsing pulse and diastolic murmur in the lower left sternal area. The document emphasizes practicing examination techniques and considering differential diagnoses.
Coronary heart disease is caused by a buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries that supply the heart, limiting blood flow. Over time, this narrowing can completely block an artery and cause a heart attack. The main risk factors for coronary heart disease include family history, diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, smoking, and lack of exercise. Symptoms may include chest pain or discomfort that worsens with exertion. Diagnosis involves tests like electrocardiograms, stress tests, and angiography. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications, procedures like angioplasty and bypass surgery, and controlling risk factors.
Angina pectoris is a medical condition causing chest pain or discomfort when the heart does not receive enough blood supply due to plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. There are two main types: stable angina occurs during physical exertion and unstable angina can occur at rest. Risk factors include diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and lack of exercise. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms through medications like nitrates, surgery like angioplasty, and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and healthy diet.
The document discusses first aid for heart attacks. It defines a heart attack as occurring when the coronary arteries become blocked, causing the heart muscle to die from lack of oxygen and nutrients. Signs of a heart attack include chest pain, shortness of breath, paleness, sweating, anxiety, irregular pulse, nausea and vomiting. The first aid treatment is to immediately call an ambulance, have the casualty chew an aspirin to help break up clots unless allergic, place them in a resting position, monitor their condition, and be prepared for further deterioration.
Angina is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, usually due to plaque buildup in the arteries. A heart attack occurs when an area of the heart muscle dies from complete blockage of blood supply. Angina is typically relieved by rest, while heart attack symptoms may be more severe and not relieved by rest. Both can cause chest pain along with other signs like shortness of breath and sweating. Treatment for angina focuses on resting and using medication, while a heart attack requires immediate emergency medical care. Lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, exercise, smoking cessation, and stress reduction can help prevent further episodes.
Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome of chest pain or pressure caused by temporary myocardial ischemia without infarction. It occurs when cardiac oxygen demand exceeds supply, as seen in narrowed coronary arteries. There are three main types - stable angina triggered by exertion, unstable angina from blood clots blocking arteries, and vasospastic angina from coronary artery spasms. Symptoms include chest pain or discomfort that may radiate to other areas along with shortness of breath, nausea, and sweating. Diagnosis involves typical symptoms, ECG showing ST segment changes, stress testing, and angiography. Treatment focuses on risk factor modification, antiplatelet drugs, beta-blockers/calcium channel blockers, nitro
Syncope is defined as a sudden, transient loss of consciousness caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the brain. The pathophysiology involves increased catecholamines during stress or pain, which causes blood vessels to dilate in the muscles and pool blood in the periphery. This decreases venous return to the heart and cardiac output, lowering blood pressure and cerebral blood flow. Compensatory mechanisms attempt to maintain brain blood flow but can fail, resulting in reflex bradycardia, further drops in cardiac output and cerebral ischemia, causing loss of consciousness. Prevention focuses on reducing stress, maintaining proper temperature and positioning, while treatment involves stopping any stimuli, loosening clothes, placing the patient head-low with legs elevated, and administering
An arrhythmia occurs when the electrical impulses that coordinates your heartbeats don't work properly, resulting in your heart to beat too fast, too slow or abnormally.

Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle. The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw.
This document discusses pain, specifically chest pain, and how to assess and evaluate chest pain. It defines pain and describes characteristics of chest pain such as location, quality, radiation, and associated symptoms. It provides an O-X format for assessing chest pain and evaluating for potential cardiac causes versus non-cardiac causes. Key assessments include vital signs, cardiovascular risk factors, history of previous cardiac issues, and characteristics of the chest pain. The goal is to determine the cause of chest pain through history and physical exam and initiate appropriate treatment.
This document discusses several cardiovascular disorders including deep vein thrombosis, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, angina, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, and myocardial infarction. For each disorder, it lists common signs and symptoms, potential causes, treatment options, and aspects of nursing management such as monitoring vital signs, administering medications, providing education and assessing pain. The document serves as a reference for nurses caring for patients with various cardiovascular conditions.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for over 1 million deaths in 2004. Sudden cardiac death accounts for over 40% of cardiovascular deaths. The patient is a 67-year-old male experiencing crushing chest pressure radiating to his jaw, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea, with no previous cardiac history. Based on the patient's symptoms and risk factors, the emergency responder suspects the patient may be experiencing an acute myocardial infarction.
Heart attacks are one of the leading causes of death in America. With most of us suffering from various kinds of health conditions and adding a lot of extra stress to the heart through our lack of activity and poor eating habits, it is no wonder that many of us are just ticking time bombs before we are able to experience a heart attack ourselves.
Mother Nature has taken hundreds of thousands of years of evolution to develop your heart along with the rest of your body.
Heart attack symptoms vary. Not all heart attacks begin with a sudden, . The warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack aren't the same for everyone. Many heart attacks start slowly as mild pain or discomfort. Some people don’t have symptoms at all (this is called a silent heart attack).

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is caused by a build-up of plaque in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over time, plaque can harden or rupture, reducing blood flow. Reduced blood flow can cause chest pain called angina or lead to a heart attack if a large section of heart muscle dies from lack of oxygen. Symptoms may include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling. Tests like EKGs, stress tests, echocardiograms, and angiograms can diagnose CHD. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications, and procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery to reopen blocked arteries.
A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery becomes blocked, preventing blood and oxygen from reaching the heart muscle. Over time, fatty deposits can build up in the arteries and eventually rupture, forming a clot that causes a complete blockage. Common symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain or discomfort that may spread to the arms, shoulders, neck or jaw. Treatment focuses on quickly restoring blood flow through clot-busting drugs, angioplasty, stents or bypass surgery. Lifestyle changes and cardiac rehabilitation are important for recovery.
This document discusses the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen. It is usually a symptom of coronary artery disease. The document describes the different types of angina and how doctors diagnose angina through tests like EKGs, stress tests, blood tests, and angiography. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications, procedures, and cardiac rehabilitation to reduce pain, prevent heart attacks, and treat the underlying heart condition.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a disease in
which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary
arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle.
When plaque builds up in the arteries, the
condition is called atherosclerosis
(ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). The buildup of plaque occurs over many years. Over time, plaque can harden or rupture
(break open). Hardened plaque narrows the coronary arteries and reduces the
flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. If
the plaque ruptures, a blood clot can form on its surface. A large blood clot
can mostly or completely block blood flow through a coronary artery. Over time,
ruptured plaque also hardens and narrows the coronary arteries. If the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your
heart muscle is reduced or blocked, angina
(an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) or a heart attack
can occur.
Angina is chest pain or discomfort. It may
feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. The pain also can occur in your
shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina pain may even feel like
indigestion.
A heart attack occurs if the flow of
oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle is cut off. If blood flow isn’t
restored quickly, the section of heart muscle begins to die. Without quick
treatment, a heart attack can lead to serious health problems or death.
What is Heart Attack and its symptoms ?Lab Provider
Cases of heart attacks in young Indians under 50 are rising exponentially, indicating an impending epidemic. Lifestyle changes and lack of awareness are major factors. Urgent action is needed to spread awareness, encourage lifestyle changes, and make heart health screening mandatory to avert a public health crisis.
The document discusses coronary artery disease and angina. It defines coronary artery disease as a narrowing of the coronary arteries due to plaque buildup, reducing blood flow to the heart. It describes the different types of angina like stable angina brought on by exertion and unstable angina, a form of acute coronary syndrome. It provides details on symptoms, classifications of angina severity, and differences between angina and a heart attack.
Ischemic heart disease is caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle due to blockages in the coronary arteries. The most common cause is atherosclerosis which narrows the arteries over time due to plaque buildup. Symptoms include chest pain and shortness of breath. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like exercise and diet, medications to reduce risk factors and surgery to open blocked arteries.
Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It is a symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina, which may also be called angina pectoris, is often described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in your chest. Some people with angina symptoms describe angina as feeling like a vise is squeezing their chest or feeling like a heavy weight has been placed on their chest. Angina may be a new pain that needs evaluation by a doctor, or recurring pain that goes away with treatment

Heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can develop over time as the heart's pumping action weakens due to conditions like coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes damaging the heart. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause, reducing symptoms, and preventing worsening through lifestyle changes, medications, medical procedures if needed, and ongoing monitoring.
The document discusses heart disease, including what it is, its causes, symptoms, tests used for diagnosis, and treatment options. It notes that heart disease occurs when cholesterol, fat, and calcium build up in the arteries. Symptoms include chest pain and shortness of breath. Tests mentioned include stress tests, echocardiograms, CT scans, and coronary angiography. Treatments discussed are lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and quitting smoking, as well as procedures like angioplasty and stents.
Heart attack v/s cardiac arrest ❤ -medical information martinshaji
People often use these terms interchangeably, but they are not synonyms. A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly. A heart attack is a “circulation” problem and sudden cardiac arrest is an “electrical” problem.

thank you .......
The document discusses cardiovascular disease and heart problems. It notes that cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer worldwide and discusses various treatments for heart disease like bypass surgery, stents, and transplants. However, it states that these treatments do not address the underlying causes of heart disease. The document emphasizes that stress and an overactive nervous system can lead to heart problems by disrupting the brain's regulation of the heart rate. Maintaining an appropriate heart rate during exercise is important to avoid potential heart issues.
Myocardial infarction is the medical name of a heart attack. A heart attack is a life-threatening condition that occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is abruptly cut off, causing tissue damage. This is usually the result of a blockage in one or more of the coronary arteries.Symptoms include tightness or pain in the chest, neck, back or arms, as well as fatigue, lightheadedness, abnormal heartbeat and anxiety. Women are more likely to have atypical symptoms than men.
Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes and cardiac rehabilitation to medication, stents, and bypass surgery.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

7 silent signs of a heart attack
1.
2. During a heart attack, blood flow
to the heart is reduced, putting
extra stress on the muscle, which
could make you feel exhausted,
according to WebMD. Don’t be
afraid to ask your doctor to do an
electrocardiogram (EKG), which
checks heart activity. “Sometimes
when people present with
lethargy, doctors won’t
immediately order an EKG, which
can detect a heart attack; but you
should request one from your
doctor, just to be safe,”
3. When heart muscle cells begin
to run out of oxygen during a
heart attack because of a
blocked artery preventing
oxygenated blood from feeding
that muscle, they begin to send
off pain signals through the
nervous system. Your brain
may confuse those nerve
signals with signals coming
from the arm (or the jaw,
shoulder, elbow, neck or upper
back) because of the nerve
proximity.
4. If you feel short of breath
right after waking up,
that’s also a sign that
something could be
wrong. The heart plays a
key role in transporting
oxygen to the rest of
your body and removing
carbon dioxide from
tissues, so blocked blood
flow to the heart could
affect your breathing.
5. If you have an occasional
heartburn flare-up after a
heavy pizza lunch, it’s
probably nothing to worry
about, but if it’s out of the
ordinary or heartburn has
never bothered you before,
call your doctor because it
could signal a heart attack.
Angina, a heartburn-like
chest pain, is caused by lack
of blood flow to the heart,
which is what happens during
a heart attack.
6. Heart attack symptoms
can sometimes mimic
stomach problems like
nausea, vomiting, or
overall GI upset—
especially in women. If
you don’t feel well,
always call your doctor. It
could be that taco you
had at 10 p.m. but it can
also be a heart attack,
which could turn out to
be catastrophic.
7. Heart attack patients
have told, they have a
feeling of doom—like
something’s just not
right, Listen to that little
voice in your head. If
something feels off, it’s
always better to be
overly cautious and call a
doctor, some of patients
have reported feeling
“less mentally sharp”
right before a heart
attack.
