3 Lifestyle methods to prevent heart attack, heart failure..

 Heart attack - `He Slept well, but didn't wake up in the morning. We have been continuously hearing such stories of sudden death, 'He passed away in his sleep', 'He went for a walk in the morning and collapsed while clutching his chest...'. Sudden death occurs when the heart fails due to a heart attack.

'Most of the time, such sudden deaths occur due to cardiac arrest.'

Why do heart attacks occur?


It is through the many blood vessels in the heart that the heart receives blood and is transported to other organs. Blood clots in these blood vessels prevent blood flow to the particular area. This causes severe chest pain. This is what we call a heart attack. If someone has a heart attack and is brought to the hospital in time for treatment, their lives can be saved.

What is heart failure?

When a heart attack occurs, the blood flow to the heart is blocked, preventing blood from the heart to other organs including the lungs. Other organs stop working and the heart also stops functioning. Some people develop heart failure immediately after a heart attack. Then the concerned person will lose consciousness. Without immediate first aid, death can occur within minutes due to complete cessation of blood flow.

What is the connection between heart attack and heart failure?

Some people die from heart failure following a heart attack. Having a heart attack increases the risk of heart failure. Most heart attacks do not cause heart failure. But heart attacks are the most common cause of heart failure. Heart failure can also be caused by other conditions related to heart disease.

How to diagnose a heart attack?

There will be an intense pain in the chest that you have never experienced before. Some people think of heart attack chest pain as 'acidity'. Due to this negligence, by the time two or three days later the person arrives at the hospital with severe chest pain, many parts of the body will be paralyzed due to the blockage. Therefore, chest pain should not be ignored.

Treatment:

For those who are undergoing treatment for a heart attack, depending on its severity, angioplasty (Stent) is placed through the treatment method. By placing a spring-like stent in a blocked blood vessel, it expands and improves blood flow. If heart failure survivors have problems with their heart function, we implant an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) pacemaker.

This tool does not prevent heart attacks. In the case of heart failure, the device prevents heart failure by delivering electricity from the inside, like giving it from the outside.

90% of heart failure is caused by myocardial infarction. 10% of heart failure is due to tissue problem or genetic problem. Pacemakers are fitted for those with weak heart rhythms.

First aid

In the event of a heart attack or heart failure, by performing CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation-First aid) by pressing the chest with both hands and breathing through the mouth, the stopped heartbeat can be restarted.

“There are many causes of a heart attack. Among them, our lifestyle changes play an important part. Three things should be followed to protect the heart.
