What causes a heart attack?
Myocardial infarction is considered a serious medical emergency that requires immediate medical assistance to avoid a fatality. Heart attack is a condition that occurs due to interrupted blood supply to the heart. Interruption in blood supply may be due to various reasons, the most common reason being the arteries have blockages. A lack of blood supply can lead to muscle death, and it eventually results in a heart attack that will require emergency heart attack treatment at a hospital nearby.
How can a heart attack be identified and diagnosed?
Though heart attacks do not show any early symptoms before the onset of a
heart attack, they can be associated with a few symptoms like:
Chest pain
Severe difficulty in breathing
Discomfort in the stomach
Feeling of anxiety
Profuse sweating
Fluctuations in the heartbeat
These signs can help in detecting a heart attack prior to it becoming severe. To analyze the condition,
the cardiologist may require one to undergo a few diagnostic tests that can help determine the
heart s severity and condition.
Diagnosis before heart attack treatment:
The specialist may ask about the family’s history of health conditions with regards to cardiac health.
These lab tests involve determining heart condition:
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Blood Tests
Angiogram
Heart MRI
What is involved in heart attack emergency treatment?
As one begins to notice attack symptoms, it is important to bring the person that experienced the heart
attack to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment. After proper analyses of the condition and a few
diagnostic tests, the specialist may recommend treatment that well suits the patient’s condition.
Angioplasty:
- This angioplasty procedure is performed to broaden the heart arteries which have blocks in them. The blood vessels in the heart are called coronary arteries.
- This procedure begins with medicines to control the pain and avoid loss of blood during this procedure.
- A small catheter is placed in the upper arm, along with the contrast dye that highlights the arteries in the heart is passed through the catheter.
- The procedure area is numbed, and a tiny incision is made, and a balloon is passed through it.
- Balloon angioplasty is a procedure where the balloon is blown after reaching the site of the procedure and this helps in clearing the narrow passage and widens it.
- Angioplasty depends on the number of blockages present in the arteries.
Stent treatment for heart attack:
- Like balloon angioplasty, stent placement is also a procedure that involves a stent that looks like a small metal mesh-like structure, which helps prevent recurring blockages and also helps in heart attack emergency treatment.
- The stents are usually present around the balloon in the angioplasty.
- When the balloon is inflated after breaking blockages, these stents expand and make place for itself.
- These stents are placed permanently in the arteries to avoid the artery narrowing back.
The cardiologist can also recommend medications to give the patient a quick recovery and relief.
