A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when one of more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged decrease in oxygen supply caused by blocked blood flow to the heart muscle. The blockage is often a result of atherosclerosis - a buildup of plaque, known as cholesterol, and other fatty substances. Plaque inhibits and obstructs the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart, thus reducing the flow to the rest of the body. If the blood and oxygen supply is cut off severely or for a long period of time, muscle cells of the heart suffer severe and devastating damage and die. The result is damage or death to the area of the heart that became affected by reduced blood supply. What are the risk factors for heart attack? There are two types of risk factors for heart attack, including:

Infectious Diseases News Brief Division of Disease Surveillance May 9, 2003 Influenza A: British Columbia The Fraser Health Authority and the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) have confirmed that 21 people linked to the China Airlines flight from New Delhi to Vancouver via Taiwan on 19 April have been released from isolation. Influenza has been identified in a number of the specimens that were tested. Fifteen people in this group had travelled on the 19 April flight and had developed fever and cough shortly after arrival in BC. They became suspect SARS cases because Taiwan is considered a SARS-affected area by the World Health Organization; however, they had only spent one hour at Taipei airport. Six household contacts became ill with fever and a cough shortly after contact with their ill relatives. Eight of the 11 persons in this group on whom laboratory specimens were received for testing have tested positive for influenza A virus.

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.

Myocarditis is inflammation or degeneration of the heart muscle. Myocarditis may be a complication during or after various viral, bacterial, or parasitic infectious diseases, such as polio, influenza, rubella, or rheumatic fever. It is often caused by various diseases such as syphilis , goiter, endocarditis, or hypertension , however, myocarditis may appear as a primary disease in adults or as a degenerative disease of old age. It may be associated with dilation (enlargement due to weakness of the heart muscle) or with hypertrophy (overgrowth of the muscle tissue). Individuals who smoke cigarettes have a higher mortality and risk of myocardial infarction than individuals who do not smoke. In some cases of myocarditis may progress to congestive heart failure, requiring hospitalization, heart failure medications, or cardiac transplantation. Cause?

WRIGHT project Cardiovascular disease Location: WHO WHO sites Cardiovascular disease home Cardiovascular Diseases The mission of the WHO Cardiovascular Diseases Program is to provide global leadership in the prevention and control of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), and to assist Member States reduce the toll of morbidity, disability and premature mortality due to CVDs. CVDs are disease which affect the proper functioning of the heart and blood vessels, chief among which are: myocardial infarction (heart attack), cerebrovascular diseases (stroke), Transient ischaemic attacks (TIA), peripheral vascular diseases to mention a few important ones. An estimated 17 million people die of CVDs, particularly heart attacks and strokes, every year. A substantial number of these deaths can be attributed to tobacco smoking, which increases the risk of dying from coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease 2–3 fold. Physical inactivity and poor diet are other risk factor which increase individual risks to cardiovascular diseases. The risk increases with age and is greater for women than for men. In contrast, cardiac events fall 50% in people who stop smoking and the risk of CVDs, including acute myocardial infarction, stroke and peripheral vascular disease, also decreases significantly over the first two years after stopping smoking.

93. Medicine & Behavior In about 50% of individuals with CAD, these first clinical manifestations of heartdisease include myocardial infarction (MI) and sudden death (Lerner and http://www.medicineandbehavior.com/mb991223.html

Effects of Stress on Myocardial Ischemia by Elizabeth Gullette Cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease (CAD), is responsible for almost half of all deaths in the United States each year (American Heart Association, 1998). According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 1999), up to 40% of deaths worldwide will be related to cardiovascular diseases/heart disease by 2020. The first indication of disease, which generally appears in middle to late adulthood, often occurs suddenly, without warning and with devastating effects. In about 50% of individuals with CAD, these first clinical manifestations of heart disease include myocardial infarction (MI) and sudden death (Lerner and Kannel, 1986). Traditional risk factors, such as elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and cigarette smoking, do not fully account for the development of CAD, nor for the occurrence of adverse cardiac events. A number of psychosocial and behavioral factors have been implicated as contributors to the development of CAD. These include social isolation, anxiety, job stress, depression and hostility. In 1994, for example, Kawachi et al. reported an almost doubled risk of CAD and an almost fivefold increased risk of sudden cardiac death among men with anxiety in the Normative Aging Study. Similarly, in a 1995 study, Frasure-Smith et al. found that depression and anxiety significantly predicted cardiac events independent of disease severity. In a similar study reported in 1995, Kark et al. examined the relation between a life-threatening stressor-Iraqi missile attacks on Israel during the Gulf War in 1991-and subsequent mortality. The number of daily deaths during the four-month period surrounding the war increased from December through January and subsequently declined through mid-March. In particular, there was a sharp increase in the number of deaths on Jan. 18, the day of the first strike on Israeli cities, with a total of 147 deaths as compared to the expected number of 92.9 deaths. This represented a significant 58% increase in mortality risk on the first day of the attacks. Analysis of the cause of these deaths indicated that the increase was mainly due to coronary heart disease, other cardiovascular diseases and what were likely sudden cardiac deaths.

Rabinovitch Congenital heart disease patients are prone to coronary artery disease similar to the rest of the population; however, these patients are prone to infarcts resulting from supply-demand imbalances that result from the natural history of their disease. We report the case of a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) with known coronary artery disease but with an infarct in an area remote from the myocardial distribution of the diseased coronary artery.
