HEART ATTACK (also known as "MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION") HeartPoint animation: this will take approximately 1 minute to load. The proper use of the non-medical term "heart attack" is "Myocardial Infarction". Either term is scary. "Myocardial Infarction" (abbreviated as "MI") means there is death of some of the muscle cells of the heart as a result of a lack of supply of oxygen and other nutrients. This lack of supply is caused by closure of the artery ("coronary artery") that supplies that particular part of the heart muscle with blood. This occurs 98% of the time from the process of arteriosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries") in coronary vessels. Although it once was felt that most heart attacks were caused from the slow closure of an artery, say from 90 or 95% to 100%, it is now clear that this process can occur in even minor blockages where there is rupture of the cholesterol plaque. This in turn causes blood clotting within the artery, blocking the flow of blood. This sort of event is illustrated above. The heart muscle which is injured in this way can cause irregular rhythms which can be fatal, even when there is enough muscle left to pump plenty of blood. When the injured area heals, it will leave a scar. While the heart won't be able to pump quite as much as before, there is often plenty of good muscle left to take care of the job, and recovery can be quite complete. While heart attacks are clearly scary, with modern techniques, patients survive most of them. Furthermore, most can have a long and satisfying life, perhaps more satisfying than before.

Time.com People Fortune EW Studies: Viagra doesn't raise heart attack risk ORLANDO, Florida Despite concerns that the impotence drug Viagra could lead to heart attacks, several new studies show the drug doesn't hurt the heart in fact, it might help. In one study of 5,600 men in England, those who took Viagra were no more likely to have a heart attack than those who didn't. "Our analysis showed no evidence for an increased risk of [heart attack or ischemic heart disease]" the authors wrote. "The rates observed were similar to those for the general population of men in the [United Kingdom]." The research was done at the Drug Safety Research Unit, a private group in Southampton, England. The study was done at the request of the European Medicine Evaluation Agency, a regulatory agency of the European Union, and paid for by Pfizer, Inc., the company that makes Viagra, according to Dr. Saad Shakir, the lead author of the study. He added that Pfizer had no control over the study. The report was released at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology. After Viagra went on the market in 1998, reports came in to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of men taking Viagra, having sex, and then having heart attacks. At the time, cardiologists theorized that the men were having heart attacks because they weren't physically fit to have sex, but said more studies needed to be done.

DALLAS, Texas (AP) Unusual fatigue and sleeplessness might be early warning signs of a heart attack in women, a study suggests. The study, published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, surveyed 515 women who had heart attacks and found that 95 percent had such symptoms as much as a month before they were stricken. Chest pains can be early indicator of a heart attack, but 43 percent of the women in the study said they never experienced chest discomfort, said researcher Jean C. McSweeney. The study is the first time researchers have identified fatigue and sleeplessness as possible early warning signs of a heart attack in women.

Update This publication contains information to help you understand and live a heart-healthy lifestyle. Published for friends of the Texas Heart Institute. Recovering from a Heart Attack (En español) Studies have led to better therapies and more information about the heart after a heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI). Most patients stay in the hospital for about a week or less. Upon returning home, you will need rest and relaxation. A return to all of your normal activities, including work, may take from a few weeks to 2 or 3 months, depending on your condition. A full recovery is defined as a return to normal activities. This will depend on how active you were before your heart attack, the severity of the attack, and your body's response to it. You will recover more quickly if you avoid stress, temperature extremes, and conditions that place an added load on your heart. Some form of exercise is also important. You should slowly increase your level of physical activity as advised by your doctor. Many hospitals and clinics offer cardiac rehabilitation programs that include exercise programs, ways to reduce and cope with stress, and information about diet, sexual activity, the need for additional treatment, and other issues.

Update This publication contains information to help you understand and live a heart-healthy lifestyle. Published for friends of the Texas Heart Institute. Heart Attack (En español) About 1.1 million Americans have heart attacks every year, and more than 40 percent of these people will die before reaching a hospital. But for those who do get to a hospital, advances in treatments have helped lower the number of deaths from heart attack. Today, those who recover from a heart attack are better able to return to their past state of health than ever before. What causes a heart attack? Many heart attacks, or myocardial infarctions (MI also called acute myocardial infarction or AMI), are caused by a complete blockage of a vessel in your heart, called a coronary artery. A blocked coronary artery prevents oxygen-rich blood and nutrients from reaching a section of the heart. If blood cannot reach the heart muscle, it will die. Prompt medical treatment can reduce this damage, but once a section of heart muscle dies, the damage lasts forever. Heart attacks may be caused by A fatty buildup called plaque, which severely narrows or blocks a coronary artery. The blockage shuts off all blood flow to the section of heart muscle fed by the artery.

The US-born star had been making records since the 1950s and was best-known for his enduring hits War and Contact. Starr, who was one of the first artists to be signed to the Motown record label, died at his home near Nottingham, his manager Lilian Kyle said. He had lived for many years in the UK. The 1970s rock star Suzi Quatro, who has known Starr since she was a teenager in Detroit, led tributes to the singer. It's a bitter irony that the man who wrote the words "War what is a good for, absolutely nothing" should die at a time when the majority of the world is repeating his very words Rahul, UK Send your tributes She said: "He was the best. There was nobody better on stage and he was the nicest man you could ever wish to meet." Starr had been due to play the Womad festival in Reading in July.

Heart Attack: Getting Back Into Your Life After a Heart Attack Printer-friendly version Email this article How soon can I get back into my regular activities? Most people can return to work and the activities they enjoy within a few months of having a heart attack. Others may have to limit their activity if the heart muscle is very weak. The amount of activity you can do will be based on the condition of your heart. Your doctor will work with you to develop a recovery plan. You will need to start slowly. For the first few days after your heart attack, you may need to rest and let your heart heal. As your heart heals, you'll be ready to start moving around again. A few days after your heart attack, your doctor may want you to move around more. You may do stretching exercises and get up and walk. You'll then slowly become more active based on advice from your doctor. Once you've gotten through the early period after a heart attack, your doctor may talk to you about how to be active within your limits. Your doctor will probably want you to do an exercise test, also called a stress test. During this test, your doctor will ask you to exercise (usually walking on a treadmill) while he or she monitors your heart. Based on the results, your doctor will develop an exercise plan for you.

TOP He Usually Lived With a Female by George Garrigues Internet version A series of articles based upon the life of Charles Harris (Brick) Garrigues as revealed in his letters and other writing A Los Angeles cop once wrote about Brick Garrigues: "Joined C.P. summer of 1936. Sent by Grover and Gladys Johnson to S.F. to investigate for C.P. in murder trial . . . Member C.P. fraction Newspaper Guild . . . This is the man whose ears were knocked down by Tom Cavett in 1936. Age 30 - 6 ft. 2 in. 195 lbs. Red sandy hair. Unscrupulous writer. Usually lives with a female. Not active lately." Brick's son wrote: I held a mystery in my hand: two sheets of aged paper, browned by the passage of some seventy years, bits and pieces flaking off in my fingers, scattering on the carpet. As I contemplated these brittle pages, I came to realize that I had to find the answers, to find the man behind the words: This man whom I had known for so many years, but had scarcely known at all. This comforter of small children. This wearer of hats and smoker of pipes. This reader and writer of books. This twentieth century man, this flawed man; my father, Charles Harris Garrigues. And so I went looking for him.

From Rhonda Rowland CNN Medical Unit BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) Drinking at least two cups of tea a day may dramatically reduce a person's chances of dying following a heart attack, a study suggests. Researchers said they suspect properties found in black and green tea may be protecting the heart. "The results were more dramatic than I anticipated," said Dr. Kenneth Mukamal, who led the study, which was published Monday in the American Heart Association's journal, Circulation. "Even if the true effect of tea is less than what we found, it could still make a sizable difference in heart attack survival." The heavy tea drinkers in the study those who drank two or more cups of tea a day had a 44 percent lower death rate following their heart attack, compared with nondrinkers. The study found even a benefit in moderate tea drinkers. Those who drank fewer than 14 cups a week had a 28 percent lower death rate.
