While the medicines are clearly life-saving if given properly, the new work shows they can also prove fatal when nurses fail to administer the precisely correct dose at the right time a mix-up that apparently happens frequently in hectic emergency rooms.

An Explosive Situation A heart attack is sudden. The causes of the heart attack are not. Years of unhealthy heart habits suddenly, unexpectedly, catch up with you. Anywhere. Anytime. A diseased heart is like a ticking timebomb. The heart attack is its explosion. Technically, a heart attack occurs when the supply of nutrient-rich blood to the heart muscle is reduced or stopped. If the blood supply is shut down for a long time, muscle cells die from a lack of oxygen. If enough cells die, the victim will also die. Often, only a small part of the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen so the victim can recover. Why does the blood supply reduce or stop? There are many possibilities. One of the most common is arteriosclerosis , an arterial disease. If blood is unable to flow through the blood vessels, it cannot nourish the body and heart. Is there a way to predict a heart attack? Angina pectoris, or chest pain, is a warning sign of a possible heart attack. Any chest pain should be taken seriously and investigated. Heart attacks are frightening for both the victim and for the victim's companions.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Most heart attacks are caused by a clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that bring blood and oxygen to the heart muscle). The clot usually forms in a coronary artery that has been previously narrowed from changes related to atherosclerosis . The atherosclerotic plaque (buildup) inside the arterial wall sometimes cracks, and this triggers the formation of a clot, also called a thrombus. A clot in the coronary artery interrupts the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle, leading to the death of heart cells in that area. The damaged heart muscle loses its ability to contract, and the remaining heart muscle needs to compensate for that weakened area.

Heart Attack and Acute Coronary Syndrome September 2001 WHAT IS A HEART ATTACK (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION) AND WHAT CAUSES IT? The heart is the human body's hardest working organ. Throughout life it continuously pumps blood enriched with oxygen and vital nutrients through a network of arteries to all parts of the body's tissues. In order to perform the arduous task of pumping blood to the rest of the body, the heart muscle itself needs a plentiful supply of oxygen-rich blood, which is provided through a network of coronary arteries. These arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart's muscular walls (the myocardium Coronary artery disease is the most common cause of heart attacks, which occurs when blood flow to the myocardium is interrupted. In general, in patients with coronary artery disease, the presence of one of three of the following syndromes suggests different degrees of severity. Stable Angina. Angina is the primary symptom of coronary artery disease and is typically experienced as chest pain. Stable angina is predictable chest pain and can usually be managed with life-style measures and medications, such as low-dose aspirin. [ See Box Angina Acute Coronary Syndromes.

Previous population studies have found a Mediterranean diet one rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, grains and beans protects against coronary heart disease. The new study is published in Monday's issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. For nearly four years, researchers in France followed more than 600 men and women who had had one heart attack. They found those consuming the Mediterranean diet had a 50 to 70 percent lower risk of a second heart attack than those in a control group. The control group consumed a typical Western diet, where almost 34 percent of calories came from fat and almost 12 percent from saturated fat. The Mediterranean diet averaged 30 percent of total calories from fat and only 8 percent from saturated fat.

That changed the day she woke up at 4 a.m. feeling light-headed and clammy. She might have passed it off as a bout of the flu if it hadn't been for the tremendous pain in her upper back. Thankfully she read the pain as a warning sign and had her teenage daughter drive her to the emergency room. When Loving arrived at the hospital, the doctor realized she was having a heart attack and immediately administered a blood clot-busting drug. At 48 she'd had no previous symptoms of heart disease, but all the warning signs were there she smoked, was overweight, got little exercise, and had a stressful job and a family history of heart attacks. And at the hospital she found out her cholesterol was at 313, well above the healthy range.

Programmes Last Updated: Wednesday, 5 May, 2004, 23:04 GMT 00:04 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Gene is linked to heart attacks A tiny mutation may be the key Scientists have pinpointed a gene which seems to play a crucial role in heart attacks. They found that a particular mutation of the gene occurs more frequently in people who have had a heart attack. It is thought the gene controls inflammation in the arteries supplying blood to the heart. A blockage here can trigger a heart attack. The research, by Toyko's Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, is published in Nature. The Japanese team hopes its work will prove to be a crucial step towards a better understanding of the underlying causes of heart attacks. The scientists found that the key mutation is caused by just one tiny change to the chemical components of DNA. Their work is based on an analysis of DNA samples from more than 2,600 heart attack patients. These were compared with samples from 2,500 volunteers from the general population. The heart attack patients were significantly more likely to carry a specific mutation in a gene that produces a protein called galectin-2.

31. ETS EXPOSURE INCREASES HEART ATTACK RISK 20% [08/16] ETS may be responsible for as many as 40,000 heart attacks a year. 13 of 14 recent epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk for coronary heart disease. http://ash.org/dangers/heartattack.html

ETS EXPOSURE INCREASES HEART ATTACK RISK 20% [08/16] The largest study of its kind to date has confirmed that married persons living with a smoking spouse increase their risk of heart attack by approximately 20%. This means that environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) may be responsible for as many as 40,000 heart attack deaths each year in the U.S. Below is a summary of the study: CIRC Environmental Tobacco Smoke and Coronary Heart Disease in the American Cancer Society CPS-II Cohort Circulation: Volume 94, Number 04; Pages: 622-628; August 15, 1996 Environmental Tobacco Smoke and Coronary Heart Disease in the American Cancer Society CPS-II Cohort Kyle Steenland, PhD; Michael Thun, MD, MS; Cathy Lally, BS; Clark Heath, Jr, MD BACKGROUND: Thirteen of 14 epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of ~20% for coronary heart disease (CHD) for never-smokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), but this association remains controversial. If true, ETS might account for an estimated 35 000 to 40 000 heart disease deaths per year in the United States. CONCLUSIONS: Results are consistent with prior reports that never-smokers currently exposed to ETS have about 20% higher CHD death rates. However, our data do not show consistent dose-response trends and are possibly subject to confounding by unmeasured risk factors.

WASHINGTON (AP) A second health care worker died of a heart attack after receiving the smallpox vaccine, and federal officials continue to investigate whether the vaccine is to blame for cardiac problems. The vaccine has never been associated with heart trouble before, but as a precaution, the federal government says people with a history of heart disease should not be vaccinated until further investigation is complete. The 57-year-old Florida woman died Wednesday from a heart attack about two weeks after receiving the smallpox vaccine, said Walter Orenstein, director of the National Immunization Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She collapsed and was not resuscitated for 20 minutes and later died, he said Thursday.

40. Zoloft An article about the findings of a study regarding the use of Zoloft in patients who have had a recent cardiovascular emergency. By Susan Conova. http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/news/in-vivo/Vol1_Iss14_sept11_02/zoloft.html

9/11 Anniversary Coping as a Cop Zoloft Healing Art ... POV Of the 1 million Americans hospitalized each year for a heart attack, about 20 percent will also suffer from depression that puts them at triple the risk of dying. Yet most of these patients are not treated with antidepressants because older antidepressants were known to be cardiotoxic and the effects of the new antidepressants were unknown. In the first study of an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant in 369 depressed patients recently hospitalized for heart attack, the drug sertraline (Zoloft) has been found to be safe and effective. In this limited-size trial, researchers also noted less life- threatening cardiac events in patients taking Zoloft compared with those on placebo, but the difference was not statistically significant. The findings of the study, which took place at 40 medical centers throughout the world, were published in the Aug. 14 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The landmark trial paves the way for a larger trial to determine if sertraline treatment reduces death and recurrent heart attack. "Doctors have been afraid to prescribe antidepressants to heart patients," says Dr. Alexander Glassman, professor of clinical psychiatry at P&S, staff member at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, and the paper's lead author and co-principal investigator. "But our results are very reassuring about the safety of sertraline. It's OK to go ahead and prescribe the drug to treat the depression." Dr. Christopher O'Connor, associate professor of cardiology at Duke University Medical Center, was also co-principal investigator.
