These new findings suggest that people with high-risk plaques that are likely to rupture could benefit from the procedure as a pre-emptive measure rather than waiting for a heart attack or other severe reduction in blood flow to occur. During PCI, an operator inserts a stent into a blocked artery through a catheter in the groin or arm.

Cardiovascular CT's non-invasive nature allows patients to avoid being admitted to a hospital for imaging, which makes it more convenient and patient-friendly. Invasive catheterizations, commonly employed, may fall short in identifying obstructions that prior CT imaging of the coronaries can catch.

Some groups will state that any heart events at less than 55 years of age for males and less than 65 for females define early heart disease. A heart attack in a 56-year-old male is early in anyone's books. However, the above age cut-offs give a good idea of what we consider the early presentation of heart disease.

Common conditions that can cause our pump to become defective are: A previous heart attack – a heart attack means that a part of the heart has died and therefore, the pump has in some way become weaker Heart valve disease – if our heart valves are abnormally narrowed then they make it a lot more difficult for the heart to pump blood out.

Have you wondered what causes a heart attack? 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). So, how do you recognize a heart attack?
