course has made many people passed away in different parts of the world. One of them is heart attack. Of course, based on those
data, heart disease refers to a disease that is worrying and needs to be aware

Heart attack Treatments and Preventions
Heart attacks,
medically known as myocardial infarction, is a condition in which the blood
supply to the heart is blocked. This is an emergency medical condition that is
usually caused by a blood clot or the amount of fat, cholesterol, and other
elements. Impaired blood flow to the heart can damage or destroy the heart
muscle and can be fatal. To determine if someone is having a heart attack, it
will usually appear a combination of several symptoms. This condition does not
depend on the severity of chest pain that is felt. The chest pain that is felt
not always occur in all people who feel the heart disease. Sometimes the pain
is mild and mistaken for usual indigestion. Conversely, not all the chest pain
is due to the heart attack.
The main cause of
heart attack is coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease occurs because
of blockage of the main blood vessels that supply blood to the heart (coronary
arteries) due to the accumulation of cholesterol plaques. The crack plaque will
cause the blood clots. Finally, the inhibit blood will clot blood and oxygen
supply to the heart through the coronary arteries. This condition eventually
leads to heart attack. Some factors that may increase the risk of coronary
heart disease, such as smoking, diabetes, high cholestero, high blood pressure,
the habit of eating fatty foods, overweight or obese.
A heart attack is
an emergency medical condition that should be taken care immediately. Directly
to go to the nearest hospital if you or someone suspected of having a heart
attack. Heart attack symptoms that can occur are:
-
Hard to breathe.
-
Pain in the chest.

Chest feels depressed,
narrow, and scrunched in the middle. The pain is usually very severe, but there
are some people who simply feel a mild illness. Sometimes in women, the
elderly, and people with diabetes do not feel any pain at all.
-
Pain in other body parts.
Such as arms, especially the left, jaw, neck, back, and abdomen.
-
Feeling nauseous, occurs
indigestion, and abdominal pain.
-
Feeling weak and dizzy.
-
Agitated or anxious.
-
Cough.
-
Sweating.
All of the
symptoms mentioned above will not certain be experienced by all patients with
heart attacks. There are even some people who have no symptoms at all and
others are directly experiencing heart stopped. But the more symptoms that you
have, the more chances you'll have a heart attack.
Once you or
people around you suspect to the heart attack, go to the nearest hospital.
First treatment, For the first treatment, immediately taking aspirin at a
normal dose of 300 mg, but firstly make sure that the patient is not allergic
to aspirin. This medicine can help thinning the blood and reduce the risk of
further heart attack. The treatment given to patients with heart attacks is
drugs to dissolve blood clots and surgical procedures to restore the blood flow
to the heart. The Treatment done will be adjusted according to the severity of
the patients' condition suffered from heart attack.
Choosing healthy
food can be considered as the best way to prevent heart attack. Eating fatty
food can aggravate or increase the risk of heart attack. The fat from food will
form plaques in the arteries so that will block the blood flow. Immediately
stop the habit of smoking. Smoking is one of the factors that may increase the
risk of heart attack and increase blood pressure. In addition, smoking also
causes atherosclerosis, or the buildup of fat in the blood vessels.
