Newsletters Heart Attack Symptoms and Warning Signs Spanish version: Sintomas del ataque cardiaco/signos de alerta A blockage in the heart's arteries may reduce or completely cut off the blood supply to a portion of the heart. This can cause a blood clot to form and totally stop blood flow in a coronary artery, resulting in a heart attack (also called an acute myocardial infarction or MI). Irreversible injury to the heart muscle usually occurs if medical help is not received promptly. Unfortunately, it is common for people to dismiss heart attack symptoms. The American Heart Association and other medical experts say the body likely will send one or more of these warning signals of a heart attack: Uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes. Pain spreading to the shoulders, neck or arms. The pain may be mild to intense. It may feel like pressure, tightness, burning, or heavy weight. It may be located in the chest, upper abdomen, neck, jaw, or inside the arms or shoulders. Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath.

You've had a Heart Attack - What Now What Information do You NEED to Know? What Information do You WANT to Know? What is a heart attack? A heart attack occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, become blocked. Blood carries oxygen to the heart muscle. When the blood flow is stopped or slowed down, the muscle does not receive the oxygen it needs, and pain, called angina, occurs. If the flow of blood and oxygen are stopped long enough, some of the heart muscle will die. This is a heart attack. Damage to the heart may be slight, with little impact in the ability of the heart to function. A "massive" heart attack significantly reduces the ability of the heart muscle to pump. It may also effect the functioning of the valves in the heart. Typical symptoms include chest tightness, burning or pressure. Often this discomfort is also felt in the left shoulder, left arm and hand, and sometimes in the neck and/or jaw. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, sweating, dizziness, and skin that is cold to the touch. Somtimes symptoms are not typical, and include shortness of breath and fatigue.

What causes a heart attack? What are the symptoms of a heart attack? What are the complications of a heart attack? ... Heart Attack At A Glance What is a heart attack? A heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction) is the death of heart muscle from the sudden blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot. Coronary arteries are blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen. Blockage of a coronary artery deprives the heart muscle of blood and oxygen, causing injury to the heart muscle. Injury to the heart muscle causes chest pain and pressure. If blood flow is not restored within 20 to 40 minutes, irreversible death of the heart muscle will begin to occur. Muscle continues to die for 6-8 hours at which time the heart attack usually is “complete.” The dead heart muscle is replaced by scar tissue. Approximately one million Americans suffer a heart attack each year. Four hundred thousand of them die as a result of their heart attack.

Help EDITIONS Change to UK Tuesday, 3 September, 2002, 07:10 GMT 08:10 UK Wine prevents repeat heart attack How to ward off heart attacks? Scientists say they have found a way for coronary patients to minimise the risk of a second heart attack - drink wine every day. Previous research has shown that drinking wine in sensible amounts may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. But the new research suggests that it might also be an effective way to reduce the risk for people who have already had one heart attack. French researchers found that middle-aged men who had had one heart attack and who drank two or more glasses of wine regularly were 50% less likely than non-drinkers to have a second attack. Dr Michel de Lorgeril, of the Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble, France, and colleagues studied 353 men aged 40 to 60 who had just had heart attacks. There were no significant differences in how severe their heart attacks had been, what drugs they used to treat heart disease or what they ate. The main differences lay in whether the men drank wine.

HOME SITE INDEX CONTACT US TIPS ... Publications Facts About Angina What is angina? ANGINA PECTORIS ("ANGINA") IS A recurring pain or discomfort in the chest that happens when some part of the heart does not receive enough blood. It is a common symptom of coronary heart disease (CHD), which occurs when vessels that carry blood to the heart become narrowed and blocked due to atherosclerosis Angina feels like a pressing or squeezing pain, usually in the chest under the breast bone, but sometimes in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. Angina is usually precipitated by exertion. It is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed angina medicine. What brings on angina? Episodes of angina occur when the heart's need for oxygen increases beyond the oxygen available from the blood nourishing the heart. Physical exertion is the most common trigger for angina. Other triggers can be emotional stress, extreme cold or heat, heavy meals, alcohol, and cigarette smoking. Does angina mean a heart attack is about to happen?
