Prevent Heart Disease.

1. HEART ATTACK – MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
(Key words: IHD–Ischemic Heart Disease, CAD­Coronary Artery Disease)
HEART ATTACK (Myocardial infarction) in simple
terms is Death of a part of heart muscle due to
Complete lack of blood supply (Nutrition & Oxygen)
to that part of the heart.
The Heart muscle gets its blood supply from small
blood vessels that come out of the Aorta, called as
Coronary arteries.

2. HEART ATTACK – MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
(Key words: IHD–Ischemic Heart Disease, CAD­Coronary Artery Disease)
If there is blockage of these vessels due to either
Clot, Cholesterol deposits or Spasm / constriction,
leads to reduced or complete lack of blood supply,
subsequently Chest pain and Heart attack.
There are 3 main coronary arteries Right, Left
anterior descending and Left circumflex artery,
which branch further, form a network and supply
different parts of the heart.

3. HEART ATTACK – MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
(Key words: IHD–Ischemic Heart Disease, CAD­Coronary Artery Disease)
Depending on the Site and Degree of blockage, the
area of Heart supplied by that vessel suffers damage.
As we put Effort in doing any work or exercise, our
Heart beats more to supply Oxygen and Nutrients to
body. Mean while the Oxygen demand of heart also
increases.
If the Oxygen demand is not met, it can lead to Chest
pain.

4. HEART ATTACK – MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
(Key words: IHD–Ischemic Heart Disease, CAD­Coronary Artery Disease)
Chest Pain related to heart (Angina Pectoris),
develops mostly during exertion, but sometimes can
appear at rest – like during Coronary artery spasm or
in Heart attack.
ANGINA is
→ Tightness, discomfort, or burning sensation at the
center of the chest, along with sweating.
→ Radiates to shoulder and hand, usually on left side.
→ Increases on exertion, reduces on resting after 15
min.

(Key words: IHD–Ischemic Heart Disease, CAD­Coronary Artery Disease)
If the Pain is present at rest for more than 20 min,

6. HEART ATTACK – MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
(Key words: IHD–Ischemic Heart Disease, CAD­Coronary Artery Disease)
If the blood supply is not restored on time,
the heart tissue can be permanently
damaged resulting in reduced efficiency of
pumping → Heart Failure leading to
weakness, breathlessness and reduced
ability to work.
Angina & Heart attack can be recognized by ECG, Echocardiography
(Echo scan), Elevated Cardiac enzymes (Troponin T & CKMB) and
Clinical symptoms.

(Key words: IHD–Ischemic Heart Disease, CAD­Coronary Artery Disease)
More than 50% of people DIE in their FIRST ATTACK
even before reaching hospital.

Indians Aged 30–39 have 10 times more risk of
having Heart attack than Westerners.
There are about 4 crore Diabetics in India, & there
will be 6.4 crore with Heart disease by 2015.
By 2020 the average age of Indian population would
be 29. More young at risk of Heart disease.
