Heart attack
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, preventing the heart from receiving oxygen. This is usually due to a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries over many years. Eventually, plaque can rupture inside an artery and cause a blood clot that blocks blood flow. If the blockage is not quickly treated, the portion of heart muscle begins to die. Risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and family history. Diagnostic tests include ECGs, blood tests, and coronary angiography. Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow through clot-busting drugs or angioplasty to open the blocked artery.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK
Heart Diseases in Men and Women are the number 1 cause of death in United States. 1 out of 4 deaths in U.S are caused by Heart Diseases. But this can be controlled or avoided if proper medical attention were given at the right time. In some cases, various symptoms are seen prior to serious heart issues, which could be treated or controlled by getting medical attention from a doctor.

Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a condition where the artery walls thicken due to a build-up of fatty materials like cholesterol. It starts when damage occurs to the inner layer of the artery from issues like high blood pressure, smoking, or high cholesterol. This damage allows plaque to form and build up in the artery wall over time from substances like macrophages, cholesterol crystals, and calcium deposits. Left untreated, it can block blood flow and potentially cause heart attacks or strokes since many people do not notice symptoms until a serious event occurs. Risk factors include age, family history, and lifestyle habits, and it can be treated through medication, procedures like stenting and bypass surgery, and lifestyle changes.
Coronary Artery Disease Cvs 2 Es (1)
The document discusses coronary artery disease, angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction (MI).

Myocardial infarction occurs when blood flow to the heart is obstructed, causing death of heart muscle tissue. It is usually caused by atherosclerosis leading to coronary artery occlusion. Risk factors include conditions like diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol, and family history. Symptoms include chest pain and potential complications are arrhythmias, heart failure, or cardiac rupture. Diagnosis involves cardiac enzyme and troponin levels, electrocardiogram, and other imaging tests. Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow, reducing risk factors, managing pain and symptoms, and monitoring for complications.
Acute Myocardial infarction
This document provides an overview of acute myocardial infarction (MI), also known as a heart attack. It discusses the definition, causes, risk factors, pathogenesis, classification, diagnosis and management of MI. The diagnosis involves taking a patient history, examining signs and symptoms, electrocardiography, serum analysis and echocardiography. Management is staged and involves pre-hospital, emergency department and post-discharge care, with a focus on reperfusing the blocked artery as quickly as possible, such as through percutaneous coronary intervention or thrombolytic therapy. The goal is to correctly identify the type of MI, treat the patient according to guidelines and manage any complications.
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION-MANAGEMENT
Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, results from a critical imbalance between oxygen supply and demand in the heart muscle. The primary cause is coronary artery occlusion due to atherosclerosis, vasospasm, or embolism. Symptoms may include chest pain, dyspnea, sweating, and anxiety. Diagnosis is made based on elevated cardiac enzyme levels and ECG changes. Initial treatment focuses on pain relief, oxygen, fluids, and aspirin while long-term prevention includes medications like beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, antiplatelets, and statins to reduce risk of future heart attacks and heart failure.
Heart Disease
Heart disease is the number one cause of death worldwide. It is caused by a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. This buildup is known as atherosclerosis and can lead to coronary artery disease. Risk factors include age, family history, high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity. To prevent heart disease, one should eat a healthy diet low in fat and cholesterol, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, not smoke, control blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and see a doctor to monitor risk factors. Making lifestyle changes can significantly reduce risk and help live a longer, healthier life.

Cardiovascular Disease.ppt
The document discusses various diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It describes the structure of the heart and how diseases can affect the heart's chambers, valves, arteries and muscle. Some of the most common heart diseases mentioned are coronary artery disease, heart attacks, heart failure, arrhythmias, and congenital heart defects. It also discusses various diseases that can affect the blood vessels, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, aneurysms, and peripheral arterial disease. Finally, it provides an overview of several common heart scanning techniques used to diagnose heart conditions, such as echocardiograms, stress tests, angiograms, CT scans, MRI and PET scans.
Lesson 5 control of heart rate in humans me
The document summarizes the control of heart rate in humans. It discusses how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work with the cardiovascular center in the medulla oblongata to control heart rate. The cardiovascular center receives input from pressure, chemo, stretch, and thermo receptors and sends signals along the accelerator and vagus nerves to increase or decrease heart rate. It also discusses how the hormone adrenaline influences heart rate by binding to receptors on heart muscle cells.
Final ppt
The document proposes a heart attack prediction system using fuzzy C-means clustering. The system takes in a patient's medical attributes like age, blood pressure, and artery thickness from their records. It then uses a fuzzy C-means algorithm to cluster this data and predict the patient's risk of a heart attack. The system is intended to help doctors make earlier diagnoses compared to only relying on their experience and a patient's records.
Arterial clearance therapy
This document discusses non-surgical treatments for heart disease, including Arterial Clearance Therapy (ACT) and Enhanced External Counterpulsation (EECP) Therapy. It describes ACT as a modern non-surgical treatment that uses FDA-approved medicines to clean arteries and improve blood flow. ACT is given through intravenous treatments and is much safer than bypass surgery. EECP therapy is also non-surgical and improves blood flow through daily one-hour sessions over 35 days without pain or medications. The document provides information on heart structure and disease, symptoms of heart attack, risk factors, and treatment options at the Shanikrupa Heartcare Centre which offers ACT and EECP therapy at multiple locations.
Choking
Choking occurs when something blocks the flow of air into the lungs, preventing breathing. If someone is choking, remain calm and ask if they can speak or breathe. If not, call for help and perform abdominal thrusts by standing behind them and thrusting inward and upward into their abdomen until the object is dislodged or they can breathe on their own. If they become unconscious, tilt their head back, lift the chin, and give two breaths before checking breathing and continuing abdominal thrusts or a finger sweep if still blocked.

Heart diseases & dietary intervention & recommendations
This document discusses heart disease and dietary recommendations for prevention. It defines different types of cardiovascular diseases and risk factors like atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes. Lifestyle factors that can increase risk are discussed such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, and excessive alcohol. The document provides dietary recommendations from reducing saturated fats, sodium, and sugar intake to eating more fruits/vegetables and whole grains. Physical activity guidelines and maintaining a healthy weight are also summarized as important prevention strategies.
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is the hardening and narrowing of the arteries caused by the slow buildup of plaque on the inner walls. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances in the blood. Over time, plaque buildup can severely restrict blood flow or cause blockages. Atherosclerosis has no symptoms until it significantly narrows or blocks an artery. It is a leading cause of death and is diagnosed through medical history, exams and tests. Risk factors include age, family history, high cholesterol, smoking, and others. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications and procedures to open blocked arteries and improve blood flow.
Heart Disease and Heart Rhythm Management
Heart Health Initiative is a project for educating consumers world wide about the importance of combating cardiovascular disease.
Heart
Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States. It is caused by atherosclerosis which leads to a build up of fatty deposits in the arteries. This can partially or fully block arteries leading to conditions like coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (heart attack), or congestive heart failure. Risk factors include age, family history, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity. The risk of heart disease can be reduced by adopting a healthy diet low in saturated fat and sodium, engaging in regular exercise, and not smoking.

heart-deseases-10442.pdf
Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It is caused by a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This buildup is called atherosclerosis and can restrict blood flow, potentially leading to heart attack or stroke. The risk of heart disease can be reduced by maintaining a healthy lifestyle through a balanced diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, regular exercise, not smoking, and controlling conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. Making these lifestyle changes can significantly lower risk even for those with a family history of heart disease.
Heart murmurs: what you need to know
There are two main types of heart murmurs: innocent murmurs and abnormal murmurs. Innocent murmurs are common in children and caused by rapid heart development, exercise, or pregnancy. They often disappear over time. Abnormal murmurs can be congenital or develop later in life due to conditions like heart valve abnormalities, septal defects, rheumatic fever, or infections. Symptoms of abnormal murmurs may include shortness of breath, swelling, or fainting. If you think you have a murmur, see a doctor who can listen to your heart sounds and determine the type and severity using specialized diagnostic software.
Heart failure
Congestive heart failure is a condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It affects about 5 million Americans each year. The heart works less efficiently and fluid builds up in the lungs and other organs. Common symptoms include weight gain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and coughing. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes and medications to manage symptoms and prevent worsening of the condition.
Heart disease and its risk factors
Heart disease refers to conditions that affect the heart and impair its function. The main types of heart disease are coronary artery disease, angina, heart attack, heart failure, and arrhythmia. Risk factors for heart disease include smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, being overweight, physical inactivity, and an unhealthy diet. Lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, eating healthy, exercising regularly, losing excess weight, and reducing stress can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
