While this response is adaptive in the short term, chronic stress keeps your blood pressure elevated for extended periods, increasing your risk of hypertension (high blood pressure) and its associated complications, such as heart disease and stroke.

This can include our hearts, which may develop conditions like bradycardia or a slow heart rate. While a slow heart rhythm might not sound concerning, it can sometimes lead to alarming symptoms and even pose severe health risks. Bradycardia is a condition in which the heart’s rhythm is too slow.

So cardiomyopathies, valve problems, myocarditis and previous heart attacks all cause a problem with the pumping function of the heart. Patients with a completely normal CT scan are very unlikely to have a heart attack within the next 3-5 years. The problem with CT scanning is if you see something.

When discussing heart health, heart attacks and cardiac arrest are two terms that are often mistaken for one another. Understanding the difference between heart attack and cardiac arrest can help in recognizing symptoms, seeking prompt medical care, and even saving lives. What is a Heart Attack?

Additionally, binge drinking (defined as consuming four or more drinks in a short period) can lead to acute and chronic heart issues, including high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to high blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease.

Arrhythmias: Genetic mutations can also predispose individuals to irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or long QT syndrome, which may increase the risk of stroke or sudden cardiac arrest. How Do Genetic Factors Work?

Hence blockage of LAD can cause a major heart attack, which can sometimes be fatal. Ventricles are the lower muscular pumping chambers of the heart. When the LAD is blocked at its origin, the resulting damage to the heart muscle is large so that the pumping function may fail.

That event might have been a heart rhythm issue or even a cardiac arrest. Bring back the real emergencies, I say!

First degree heart block can also occur in a heart attack involving the lower part of the heart known as inferior wall myocardial infarction. Complete heart block needs a temporary or permanent pacemaker depending on whether disease causing it is reversible or not.

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.

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. Having no evidence of plaque on both of these tests reflects a very low risk of a heart attack in the next five to ten years.

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. They include coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and rheumatic heart disease. More than four in five cardiovascular deaths are caused by heart attacks and strokes, and a third of these deaths occur in people under the age of 70.

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?
