World News ~ The heart is an organ that is essential for humans, because the heart is required to pump blood throughout the body so that the body get the oxygen and nutrients needed for metabolism. Therefore, the heart needs to be maintained in order to perform its functions properly. One that needs to be avoided is that coronary heart disease is a dangerous disease that can cause heart attacks. To do so, we need to know how to keep our heart healthy, what to avoid and what can be done to maintain heart health.
Every year, millions of people world wide suffered heart attacks. Not all heart attacks result in death. However, generally any patients who have had heart attacks suffered several subsequent impact. While the rest beyond help.
Heart
The heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout the body. In a heart attack (myocardial infarction), part of the heart muscle dies when deprived of blood. To stay healthy, the heart needs oxygen and other nutrients carried by the blood. This is obtained through the artery (blood vessel) coronary, which wrap around the outside of the heart.
Diseases can affect any part of the heart. However, the most common disease is a chronic disease of the coronary arteries is called atherosclerosis. Therefore, heart disease commonly known and most common is coronary heart disease or coronary artery disease. The disease is the most frequent cause of heart attack in someone who can cause death. The cause is narrowing of the coronary arteries, which vessel serves to provide blood to the heart muscle. Narrowing caused by piles of cholesterol or other proteins derived from foods that enter the body. This buildup causes the coronary arteries become stiff. Rigidity is called atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis occurs when a buildup of plaque or fatty deposits in artery walls. Over time, plaque can accumulate, harden and narrow the arteries and block blood flow to the heart. Coronary artery disease or coronary artery disease (CAD) that sets the stage for most heart attacks.
A blockage in one or more coronary arteries can cause a heart attack suddenly. The reason for the heart for oxygen exceeds the available triggering a heart attack. Why? If the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen for a long time, the surrounding tissue may be damaged. Unlike other tissues, the heart muscle does not regenerate. The longer the attack, the more damage to the heart and the greater the chance of dying.
Even in the arteries that are not too narrow because timbungan plaque and fat, accumulation of plaque can rupture and form a crust of blood or thrombus. In addition, diseased arteries are also likely to experience sudden muscle contractions. Thus, a piece of a blood crust can be formed in a contraction, releasing chemicals that then lead to the narrowed artery walls, triggering a heart attack.
If the working system of the heart is damaged, the heart's normal rhythm can become chaotic and the heart begins to tremble with uncertainty or experiencing fibrillation. This abnormal rhythm known as arrhythmia is a deviation from normal heart rhythm. This will cause the heart's ability to pump blood effectively to the brain. Within ten minutes, brain death and the patient was beyond help.
In addition to coronary heart disease due to fat deposition in the arterial wall, there are also other heart diseases are caused by abnormalities at birth. For example imperfect heart, heart valve disorders, weakening of the heart muscle. Another cause is the bacteria that cause infections of the heart.
If the symptoms of a heart attack from happening to you:
- Recognize any of these symptoms do occur chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations.
- Cease immediately all work no matter what you are doing and sit or lie down while you draw a deep breath.
- If you are alone while symptoms last more than a few minutes immediately contact the local emergency phone number and say you are having a heart attack. Or contact the people around you by giving the same information.
- If no one can take you to the hospital sooner than the arrival of paramedics, immediately ask for help going to take you to the emergency room at the hospital. Faster would be better handled.
- But if you wait for paramedics to come, so while waiting, you can loosen tight clothing, including belts or tie. Create yourself in a position that feels comfortable.
- Stay calm, no matter you are the victim or his salvation. Panic can increase the possibility of arrhythmias or heart rhythm irregularities that threaten life.
To reduce risk of coronary heart disease, you can do the following things:
- Healthy diet
Wherever possible, the food products we eat low-fat or nonfat. Choose milk, cheese, butter or other foods that are low in fat. Fry using olive oil has a little fat so it can be an option when to process food by frying.
In addition to avoiding fatty foods, also avoid foods with a high sugar content such as soft drinks. Do not consume tertalu many carbohydrates, because in the body, carbohydrates are broken down into fat. By contrast, consumption of oats or wheat that can help keep the heart healthy.
Keep your diet is not excessive in order to avoid obesity, as someone who has a waist circumference over 80 cm, are at greater risk of developing this disease.
- Quit smoking
- Avoid Stress
office or at home.
- Hypertension
- Obesity
- Exercise regularly
- Consumption of antioxidants
- Ancestry
Overcoming Heart Disease
If you feel the symptoms of early heart disease or have experienced a mild heart attack, do not ignore it. You desperately need early treatment by trained medical personnel. This can save the heart from further damage and can even be fatal avoid consequences like death.
But if the heart attack symptoms begin to occur, it is important to seek immediate medical assistance. The risk of death from heart attack is within one hour after a heart attack. Rapid and precise treatment of the medical team could save heart muscle from damage that can not be repaired. The more heart muscle that is spared, the more effectively the heart will pump after the attack. Do not delay in getting medical help for fear of appearing ridiculous.
If there has been a blockage, the medical action is generally taken with the installation of catheterization and rings that keep coronary arteries are not clogged. However, there may be a blockage in another artery.
