It's best not to take any risks, as some heart attacks may not present with typical chest pain.
Many delay seeking help for a heart attack. If symptoms are experienced don't wait – prompt medical attention can prevent further heart damage or even death.
When a heart attack is suspected, an ECG is done, and blood is drawn to look for cardiac enzymes. Oral medications are administered to relieve chest pain and prevent new blood clots.
Treatment for heart attacks involves medication and may include medical therapy or early cardiac catheterization.
If a blockage is found, percutaneous coronary intervention (stenting) may be done and if not, coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) may be an option.
Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle due to the narrowing or partial blockage of coronary arteries.
Angina and heart attack often have the same cause, but angina is a temporary condition.
It is a sign of heart disease and can be treated with lifestyle changes, medication, medical procedures, and surgery to reduce the risk of complications.
Symptoms of heart failure usually develop over time, as the heart becomes weaker and less able to pump the blood the body needs. Heart failure usually results in enlarged heart walls.
Heart failure is a life-long condition but can be managed. Getting good medical care and following a treatment plan will help have the best quality of life.
Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition where the pressure in the arteries is higher than it should be.
High blood pressure is usually asymptomatic (80% of the time) but may cause headaches, light headedness, dizziness and fainting when severe.
It increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. Hence it is important to have one’s blood pressure checked regularly and to follow a doctor’s advice.
Arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm. It could be so brief that it doesn’t change the heart rate. Or it can cause the heart rate to be too slow or too fast.
An electrical impulse is what starts each heartbeat. An abnormal heart rhythm happens when those impulses don’t fire at the right time.
When it’s very brief, an arrhythmia can have almost no symptoms. It can feel like a skipped heartbeat which is barely noticed.
| Bradycardia | Tachycardia |
| fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting or near-fainting. | shortness of breath, chest pain, light headedness or loss of consciousness. |
| If severe, it can also cause cardiac arrest. | If severe, it can also cause heart attack or death. |
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is often used to diagnose abnormal heart rhythm. You may be asked to wear a Holter monitor. It’s a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart’s activity for 24 to 48 hours.
More sophisticated tests may also be used depending on symptoms.
Screening is an important step in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease and managing lifestyle and risk factors.
Modifiable risk factors include:
Very few individuals have ideal risk levels on all screening tests. However, if you do have several of these risks, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re destined to develop a serious cardiovascular disease. Instead, it signifies that you are now ready to start making positive changes toward maintaining good health.
Incorporating this into your life will reduce the likelihood of cardiovascular disease and contribute to a long, healthy life.
If you're an individual who has a history of heart attack, heart failure, rhythm problems, stroke or any other heart condition you may need more regular screening.
Some body measurements, blood pressure, blood tests and a detailed history will be taken at your initial screening followed up with additional tests depending on your condition.
Coronary angioplasty is a procedure that opens blocked coronary arteries and restores normal blood flow to the heart muscle without open-heart surgery. It’s a small surgery. It’s done by inserting a catheter, through a small cut on a leg or arm, to the heart. When in place it inflates a tiny balloon at the site of blockage in the artery. This widens the artery and improves blood flow.
Angioplasty can be done in an emergency such as a heart attack or as an elective procedure.
Patients with blockages in their heart arteries may need angioplasty if they are having angina or if their blockages put them at risk of a heart attack. A person who is having a heart attack will benefit from emergency angioplasty.
CABG is a procedure in which healthy blood vessels from another part of the body are used to ‘bypass’ blocked or narrowed coronary arteries to the heart muscle.
