cause
Spasm of the artery: Your blood vessels have a muscle lining that allows
them to become wider or narrower as needed. Those muscles can
sometimes twitch or spasm, cutting off blood flow to heart muscle.
Rare medical conditions: An example of this would be any disease that
causes unusual narrowing of blood vessels.
Trauma: This includes tears or ruptures in the coronary arteries.
Obstruction that came from elsewhere in the body: A blood clot or air
bubble (embolism) that gets trapped in a coronary artery.
Electrolyte imbalances: Having too much or too little of key minerals like
potassium in your blood can cause a heart attack.
Eating disorders: Over time, an eating disorder can cause damage to your
heart and ultimately result in a heart attack.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Discomfort, pressure, heaviness, tightness, squeezing, or pain in your
chest or arm or below your breastbone
Discomfort that goes into your back, jaw, throat, or arm
Fullness, indigestion, or a choking feeling (it may feel like heartburn)
Sweating, upset stomach, vomiting, or dizziness
Severe weakness, anxiety, fatigue, or shortness of breath
Fast or uneven heartbeat
Unusual fatigue
Shortness of breath
Nausea or vomiting
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Discomfort in your gut. It may feel like indigestion.
Discomfort in the neck, shoulder, or upper back
RISK FACTORS
Age. Men age 45 or older and women age 55 or older are more likely to have a heart attack
than are younger men and women.
Tobacco. This includes smoking and long-term exposure to secondhand smoke.
High blood pressure. Over time, high blood pressure can damage arteries that lead to your
heart. High blood pressure that occurs with other conditions, such as obesity, high cholesterol
or diabetes, increases your risk even more.
High blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels. A high level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) is most likely to narrow arteries. A high level of triglycerides, a
type of blood fat related to your diet, also increases your risk of a heart attack. However, a
high level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ("good" cholesterol) may lower your
risk.
Obesity. Obesity is linked with high blood cholesterol levels, high triglyceride levels, high
blood pressure and diabetes. Losing just 10% of your body weight can lower this risk.
Diabetes. Not producing enough of a hormone secreted by your pancreas (insulin) or not
responding to insulin properly causes your body's blood sugar levels to rise, increasing your
risk of a heart attack.
Metabolic syndrome. This syndrome occurs when you have obesity, high blood pressure
and high blood sugar. Having metabolic syndrome makes you twice as likely to develop heart
disease than if you don't have it.
Family history of heart attacks. If your siblings, parents or grandparents have had early
heart attacks (by age 55 for males and by age 65 for females), you might be at increased risk.
Lack of physical activity. Being inactive contributes to high blood cholesterol levels and
obesity. People who exercise regularly have better heart health, including lower blood
pressure.
Stress. You might respond to stress in ways that can increase your risk of a heart attack.
Illicit drug use. Using stimulant drugs, such as cocaine or amphetamines, can trigger a
spasm of your coronary arteries that can cause a heart attack.
A history of preeclampsia. This condition causes high blood pressure during pregnancy and
increases the lifetime risk of heart disease.
An autoimmune condition. Having a condition such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus can
increase your risk of a heart attack.
COMPLICATIONS
Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Electrical "short circuits" can develop, resulting in
abnormal heart rhythms, some of which can be serious, and may lead to death.
Heart failure. A heart attack might damage so much heart tissue that the remaining heart
muscle can't pump enough blood out of your heart. Heart failure can be temporary, or it can be a
chronic condition resulting from extensive and permanent damage to your heart.
Sudden cardiac arrest. Without warning, your heart stops due to an electrical disturbance that
causes an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Heart attacks increase the risk of sudden
cardiac arrest, which can cause death without immediate treatment.
PREVENTION
Medications. Taking medications can reduce your risk of a subsequent heart attack and help
your damaged heart function better.
Lifestyle factors. Maintain a healthy weight with a heart-healthy diet, don't smoke, exercise
regularly, manage stress and control conditions that can lead to a heart attack, such as high
blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes
.
NURSING MANAGMENT
• Balancing of myocardial oxygen supply as per demand
• Medication administration as per order
• Continuous monitoring of cardiac function
• Continuous ECG monitoring, hemodynamic monitoring
• Monitoring and recording input/ output.
• Provide emotional support
• Nutritional support
• Bed rest for couple of days, reduce stress factors
• Provide heath education
• Asses the patient level of pain, location, duration.
• Prevention of the complication
CONCLUSION
A patient named shyam shankar 40 years of male was admitted in BHAGWATI
HOSPITAL with chief complains of chest pain radiating towards shoulder,
shortness of breathe and vomiting. He was admitted on CCU for proper
treatment and care. He was undergone the medication i.e Tab. Ecospirin, Tab.
Clopid, Inj.Ondem. His general condition was much improved through out the
treatment procedure being hospitalized.
