While specific criteria to assess hemodynamic stability include the presence ( or absence ) of arrhythmia-related hypotension, chest pain, shortness of breath, and/or mental status changes — an overall “Gestalt” assessment from “being there” (ie, at the patient’s bedside ) needs to be consciously made.

Smith and Myers found that in otherwise classic Wellens syndrome – that is, prior anginal chest pain that resolves with subsequent dynamic T wave inversions on the ECG – even the T waves of LBBB behave similarly. [2] LBBB is typically the result of preexisting hypertrophy, ischemic heart disease, or cardiomyopathy.

However, recent studies have observed that people below 40 are also experiencing heart attacks due to high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and social and mental stress. So, how do you recognize a heart attack? Obesity or being overweight can increase the risk of heart disease.

One of the most effective treatments for severe coronary artery disease, a type of cardiovascular disease, is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a procedure designed to restore blood flow to the heart. The reason is simple: both the heart and the penis rely on healthy blood flow to function properly.

Results revealed that women are twice as likely to exhibit myocardial ischemia in response to mental stress compared to traditional stressors like exercise or pharmacologic stress. Moreover, women under 50 years old are four times more likely to experience MSIMI. Combining behavioral and pharmacological treatment is most effective.
