Heart Attack A heart attack is when low blood flow causes the heart to starve for oxygen. Heart muscle dies or becomes permanently damaged. Your doctor calls this a myocardial infarction.Causes Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries bring blood and oxygen to the heart. If the blood flow is b
Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of your body in vessels called arteries. The pumping action of the heart must create enough force to push blood through the major arteries, into the smaller arteries, and finally into the tiny capillaries, where the porous walls permit fluid exchange between the blood and body tissue. The actual mechanisms which explain why the blood pressure is high ha
Although acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is rare in women of child-bearing age, pregnancy can increase a woman’s risk of heart attack 3- to 4-fold, according to a study published in the July 15, 2008, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

A study by scientists at the University of California-Davis indicates that men or women who have a glass of beer a day can cut their risk of heart attack and stroke by up to 40 percent. The researchers say a glass of beer raises HDL, which is the good type of cholesterol, while reducing the risk of blood clots forming in a heart artery.The study points out that moderate consumption is the key to enjoying the healthful benefits of beer and other forms of alcohol.

Ziagen, a GlaxoSmithKline AIDS drug which is among the most widely-used worldwide, may boost heart attack risks.
Ziagen (also known as abacavir) is a common component in the 'cocktail' of anti-retroviral treatments that keep the AIDS virus at bay.
Researchers looked at data from an ongoing probe into the health of more than 33,000 people with HIV being followed at over 200 clinics. The risk of a heart attack among people taking Ziagen was 89 percent higher than among those who did not take the drug. A less-used drug called Videx (didanosine) resulted in a 49 percent increased risk.
Early and persistent treatment necessaryPeople with diabetes have the same high risk for heart attack or stroke or cardiovascular death as people who’ve already had a heart attack, researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.“The increased risk was observed in people at all ages with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes who were receiving insulin or other drugs to reduce levels of sugar in the blood,” said Tina Ken Schramm, M.D., lead author of the study and research fellow at the Gentofte Hospital in Hellerup, Denmark.“When people with diabetes do have heart attacks, they are twice as likely to die as non-diabetics,” Schramm added.“We’ve talked about ‘the lower, the better’ for cholesterol and blood pressure to reduce the risk of heart atta

A new study by the American Heart Association warned Monday that cocaine use in young or otherwise healthy patients could sometimes cause heart attack symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, anxiety, palpitations, dizziness, nausea, heavy sweating and palpitations. Cocaine use also results in increased blood pressure that can increase the risk of bleeding into the brain if a patient is given clot-busting drugs. According to the government's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the number of cocaine-related users visiting ERs rose 47 percent from 1995 to 2002, increasing from 135,711 to 199,198. The majority of these visits are of younger people, around the age of 35. "More commonly, these are younger people. The most common age group is about 35 to 44 for p
My Health - Cholesterol is fatty substance (lipid) which is part of outer cell membrane in animal tissues. It is also found in human blood circulation. Two main sources cholesterol in the blood is from foods and liver production.Food cholesterol comes from meat, chicken, fish and dairy product. After a meal, cholesterol is absorbed by bowel into blood circulation and gets covered by protein. The cholesterol encased in protein is called chylomicron.Computer model of cholesterol molecule.Liver can remove cholesterol from blood circulation and also make cholesterol and secrete cholesterol into the circulation. After you eat, liver removes chylomicron from blood circulation. In between lunch time, liver produce and secretes cholesterol back into blood circulation.Bad Cholesterol, Good Choleste
In this video, Dr. David Holt, the leading U.S. physician in German New Medicine, explains that the conventional explanation for heart attacks may not be accurate at all. Conflicts involving territorial loss -- such as losing a family member, your home, or your financial stability -- cause changes in the coronary arteries of all animals -- including humans.
Depressed heart attack patients have a higher risk for sudden death in the months following a heart attack. Now a team led by researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that the risk continues for many years. "There's a two- to four-fold increase in a person's risk of dying following a heart attack if they also happen to be depressed," says Robert. M. Carney, Ph.D., lead author of the new study and professor of psychiatry at Washington University. "Previously we thought the impact of depression was strongest for the first three to six months following a heart attack and then gradually dropped off within a couple of years. Instead, we found that the effect lasts for at least five years." Carney, with colleagues from Duke University Medical Center, Harva

This week, we tell about a new test for patients with heart disease. We also tell about progress in fighting an infectious disease. And we tell about the environmental friendliness of North American colleges and universities.American researchers say they have developed a simple test that can tell if a person with heart disease is likely to suffer a heart attack. The researchers say the test measures levels of a protein in the blood. They say people with high levels of the protein are at high risk of heart attack, heart failure or stroke.Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo of the University of California in San Francisco led the team of researchers. They studied almost one thousand patients with heart disease for almost four years. During that time, more than two hundred fifty of the patients suffered a heart attack, heart failure or stroke. Some of them died.The researchers tested the heart disease patients for a protein called NT-proBNP. Patients with the highest levels were nearly eight times mo

Slide 1: Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're driving home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, and frustrated……
Slide 2: YOU ARE REALLY STRESSED AND UPSET …. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw.
According to IMDB.com, Bobby Brown allegedly had a mild heart attack. Reportedly, Brown “felt chest pain and tingling in his arm on Tuesday afternoon and was taken to Tarzana Regional Medical Center in California by his manager/girlfriend Alicia Etheredge”. Brown’s spokeswoman Paedra Parks revealed he has been recovering nicely. Furthermore, “Brown is expected to be discharged from hospital later on Wednesday and still hopes to perform at the V100 Taste Of Soul concert in Los Angeles on Saturday”.
www.foxnews.comPeople who experience chronic job strain after a first heart attack double their risk of suffering from a second one, according to new research from the Universite Laval’s Faculty of Medicine in Quebec.Previous research had linked work-related stress to a first coronary heart disease event. But this latest study, published in the Oct. 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, is the first to find conclusive evidence that links stress to a second heart attack as well.For the study, the research team followed a group of 972 participants, ages 35 to 59, who had suffered a heart attack. Participants were interviewed six weeks, two years and six years after returning to work in order to collect data on their health, lifestyles, socioeconomic status and levels of work stress.A job was defined as stressful if it combined high psychological demands (heavy workload, intense intellectual activity and important time constraints) and little control over decision

The potential health risks associated with untreated indigestion are well documented, but acid reflux pain should serve as a strong reminder of those suffering from it, that they need to do something to correct the condition. The acid reflux pain is usually caused by stomach acid being refluxed into the esophagus and irritating its lining. It is typically a severe burning sensation that will seldom subside on its own.
The use of antacid tablets or other over-the-counter medication can often lessen the severity of the acid reflux pain but if left to linger for days it is strong enough to burn a hole through the lining of the esophagus. Easing past the lower esophageal sphincter is common with acid reflux, but when it flows continually upwards and makes it way through the upper esophageal sphincter, the pain in the throat may spread into the larynx and can cause acid reflux pain to radiate in to the ears.
It is not uncommon for those with indigestion to experience such severe acid reflu
After a heart attack, the risk of developing diabetes and so-called pre-diabetes rises steeply, a new study finds.In fact, recent heart attack patients are up to four-and-a-half times more likely to develop diabetes compared with the general population and more than 15 times more likely to develop high blood sugar, according to the report in the Aug. 25 issue of The Lancet."Having a heart attack means that the chances of getting diabetes later are increased," said Dr. Lionel Opie, director of the Hatter Cardiovascular Research Institute at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and author of an accompanying journal editorial. "We already know that diabetes predisposes one to heart attack, now we add that heart attacks predispose one to diabetes -- one nasty disease leads to another, and it's a two-way process."In the study, a team led by Dr. Roberto Marchioli, from the Laboratory of Clinical Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Disease, Consorzio Mario Negri Sud, Chieti, Italy, collecte

Studies involving Avandia were "too murky to merit drastic regulatory action" and other diabetes drugs may have similar risks.Apparently, causing hundreds of thousands of heart attacks, strokes, and death does not warrant regulatory action in the eyes of the FDA.FDA drug safety officer Dr. David Graham -- one of my heroes -- may have been the lone voice calling for Avandia's withdrawal from the market.

Are you at risk for a heart attack? Check out the interactive tool to measure your chance of having a heart attack in the next 10 years. Your chance of a heart attack is determined by information you enter to calculate your risk score.

According to this somewhat light-hearted article, just getting out of bed in the morning may be the worst thing you can do if you're trying to avoid a heart attack. There are a wide variety of events that can trigger an already susceptible heart to go into cardiac failure, including:
Dehydration
A bout of anger
Strenuous exercise
Infectious diseases, like pneumonia or the flu
Most heart attacks occur first thing in the morning upon waking, as your body releases stress hormones into your bloodstream to prepare your body to get moving. This rise may cause a cardiac event if your arteries are already sufficiently clogged with cholesterol-rich plaque.But, in order to prevent cardiac events, you really need to start at the prevention stage, rather than trying to avoid all triggers.About 20 percent of heart attacks go undetected, so you may want to check your susceptibility.

On any given day, you can hear an ambulance, with sirens blaring, on the way to an emergency. But in some emergencies, action should be taken before paramedics arrive. One of those is a heart attack. Bob McKenzie is the public information officer for the Nevada Department of Transportation. He clearly remembers the day he suffered a heart attack, the day after his 56th birthday. McKenzie says, "We were in a strategic planning meeting. And it felt like a spear had gone through my body. You feel pain on both sides, both the front and back." As with many heart attack victims, Bob tried to shrug off the symptom. But after a while, he asked someone to drive him to the hospital -- a decision that probably saved his life. "I really had no idea that I was having a heart attack until the doctor at Nellis, in looking at the EKG, says, do you realize at this moment you're having a massive heart attack?" Looking back, Bob now believes the signs should have been obv

It’s so bad, in fact, that I’ve started lying in bed, half asleep, and I get palpitations in my chest and a throbbing in my head. Then a big wave goes through my body and I wake up. I’ll lie there for a bit, then the same will happen again.
Now, is that an impending heart attack? Or am I paranoid? Am I worried about the baby? Can my body not slowly unwind and needs to do it in a big bang?

Sleep is modified by psychosocial settings stored up during routine daily activity. Just as that short-term memory plays a role in modify-ing sleep behavior, long term stress also instigates such disbalance. The degree of disbalance would mount assertively if the source of in-trigue also persists during sleep. Similarly an extreme degree of auto-nomic disbalance is eventuated, when somatic afferents fire at a greater frequency due to frictional electricity produced in the bed when particularly synthetic clothing and synthetic bed lenin is used. It is also anticipated that these influences would also instigate coronary vasospasm, nocturnal angina besides instigating cardiac irregulari-ties of all grades. These influences are likely to disrupt the normal sleep; dream and even the sensual behavior other than sleep apnea related problems due to failure in rhythmogenesis.Sleep – Related Respiratory Disorders:One of the remarkable developments in medicine has been the recog-nition of a div
