How not to earn a heart attack

In the autumn of the body is overloaded due to habituation to cold, making out start to get chronic diseases, in particular cardiovascular.


The apogee of heart diseases like myocardial infarction. He is guilty of approximately 63% of the deaths of our fellow citizens (according to who), more than any other disease, vynashivalsya Ukrainians. And now he is "rejuvenated": if some 10 years ago, the heart began to appear only after the fifth ten, now it is not uncommon, and 40-year-old. How not to become his next victim?





What causes


The heart always develops on the background of atherosclerosis. In cardiac (coronary or coronary) arteries are deposited plaques, preventing normal blood flow in the body. When the heart of a little blood, the person experiences pain is called angina, or coronary heart disease. Plaque makes itself felt before she completely block the vessel during hypertonic spasm, which have almost all the cores then the blood supply to the heart is reduced even more. If muscle spasms occur in the same location where the plaque, the vessel may perekrytiya, it is part of the heart remains without blood and opertive - this is called a heart attack.





If "stabbed"


The harbinger of a heart attack - pain in my heart. Before the heart attack it is the same as with angina - compressive, spinning, gives in left shoulder, arm and shoulder. Usually patients with angina are wearing a nitroglycerin or other first-aid preparation of nitro group (validol not perfect) - it is necessary to accept to sit 5 minutes alone. If it is a simple angina, the pain should go. If the heart does not let go" and after the third tablet, then this is clearly a heart attack condition and need to call the ambulance." But the beginning of a heart attack says the typical symptom is "a dagger of pain": experienced cores, what is in the heart "as if the knife hit. This does not necessarily ends in tragedy, but such a patient could be saved already heavier.





What's next?


After undergoing heart out, atherosclerotic plaque is not going anywhere, even if you will take the best medicine. In order not to expose themselves to the risk of a second heart attack, you need to consider surgical treatment. At the present time surgeons offer two operations: coronary artery bypass grafting (to a sick plot sew a new vessel, through which he begins to freely receive the blood) and stenting (in the lumen of the vessel with a plaque put "frame", which prevents the narrowing). Both of these operations are done in the state of cardiology and surgical institutions as free - budget option, it is limited, it is necessary to stand in line, and paid, in this case do without the queue, the cost of operations from 17 000 UAH.




Prevention





Prevention of heart attack is atherosclerosis prevention. Most development is guilty of a sedentary lifestyle, errors in diet, stress and bad habits. For the diagnosis of atherosclerosis need to do a blood test for triglycerides and cholesterol - if their levels increased, the process of sclerosis is already underway. And to hit it can not only heart, but also other organs. It is often the vessels of the brain, kidneys and legs.




To see more precisely the condition of blood vessels by research MRI in vascular mode". Its informational content of about 80%. If you are concerned about specifically the heart, the most complete picture of the condition of the vessel can be determined by the study entitled "coronary angiography" (ECG and veloergometry - only more research).




If plaque is not yet managed to appear, their appearance can be prevented by taking cholesterol-lowering drugs and products (or products) that contain polyunsaturated fatty acids - they don't give plaques deposited, reducing cardiac mortality by about 50%.
