On arrival, blood pressure was 165/94 mmHg and blood glucose was 108 mg/dL. During hospitalization, his home amlodipine and losartan medications were discontinued with the goal of maintaining a blood pressure target of 140‐160 systolic indefinitely, to minimize the risk of hypoperfusion cerebrally. His NIHSS was 6.

However, angiograms often reveal no major blockage in the heart’s blood vessels, indicating a different mechanism. Myocarditis symptoms can also mimic a heart attack, and small blood clots may cause pain. Improving Heart Health After COVID-19: After a COVID-19 infection, a follow-up exam is crucial.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Persistent high blood pressure forces the heart to work harder to pump blood. Medications Medications are often the first line of treatment for cardiomegaly and can include: ACE inhibitors or ARBs , which help lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.

A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when an artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This blockage is often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood. What is a Heart Attack?

Hypertension Hypertension, or high blood pressure , is often referred to as the “silent killer” because it typically shows no symptoms until it leads to more severe health issues. Regular blood pressure checks and lifestyle modifications, such as a heart-healthy diet and exercise, are essential for managing this risk.

Three coronary arteries supply blood to the heart. When one of these arteries becomes completely blocked by a blood clot, it results in a heart attack, also known as MI (Myocardial infarction). Medical and Surgical Treatment in a Heart Attack An MI occurs when a blood clot entirely obstructs a blood artery in the heart.
