Heart Attack - Signs, Symptoms and Emergency
Treatment

• Heart attack, also known as myocardial
  infarction, is a severe condition where death of
  the heart muscle occurs because of the loss of
  blood supply. The blood loss usually happens
  because of the blockage of a coronary artery. Due
  to electrical instability, ventricular
  fibrillation is caused. Heart attacks may result
  in permanent brain damage or even death.

Few Reasons of Heart Attack Symptoms

• Symptoms of Heart Attack There are many early
  symptoms and signs of heart attack, which should
  be recognized. Symptoms of heart attack vary from
  person to person. Here is a list of the primary
  heart attack symptoms
• Chest Pain and Discomfort Chest pain is the
  basic symptom of a heart attack and occurs in
  different forms. The chest pain has a pressure,
  fullness and squeezing sensation and starts from
  the center of the chest. The pain may go away and
  re-occur and may spread down to other limbs of
  the body.
• Headache, Toothache The chest pain occurring due
  to a heart attack spreads all over the body and
  the jaw. Even the back and head are affected.
  Sometimes pain in these regions is present while
  chest pain is absent.
• Shortness of Breath A gasping sensation or
  feeling shortness of breath is another common
  sign of a heart attack. Such breathing difficulty
  is called dyspnea. The shortness of breath occurs
  before or during the chest pain.
• Nausea and Vomiting The feeling of nausea or
  sickness in the stomach is another possible
  symptom. It is accompanied by belching or burping
  and sometimes, the heart attack is associated
  with a feeling of indigestion. Nausea is more
  common in women. Vomiting also occurs alongside
  nausea.
• General Epigastric Discomfort In several cases,
  patients describe the pain of a heart attack as
  stomach pain. The pain is heavy and uncomfortable
  and persists for several minutes.

Emergency Treatment for Heart Attack 

• A person who has a heart attack should be rushed
  to a hospital.
• Several tests are carried out to detect the cause
  of the attack. A 12 lead EKG is carried out to
  supervise electrical activity within the heart
  and detect the damaged areas.
• Blood tests are undertaken to check enzymes and
  in certain cases, cardiac catheterization is
  required where pictures of the blood vessels are
  examined.
• Emergency medicines are given to the patient to
  stop the formation of blood clots and include
  aspirin, heparin and other drugs. Other medicines
  are given for thrombolytic therapy, which
  dissolve already formed blood clots. They work to
  reduce the heart damage. Nitrates are also used.
