Typical symptoms often not present with a heart attack

Typical symptoms often not present with a heart attack

When symptoms are atypical, patients delay seeking medical attention. Since early intervention is the key to a good outcome with a heart attack, people with known or suspected coronary artery disease should be aware of the common "atypical" presenting symptoms reported in this study.

Diabetics may have special risk factors for heart disease

Blood studies now suggest that chronic inflammation in diabetics may predispose to coronary artery disease.

  1. The main reason for such a large heart attack and stroke mortality rate is only because of the ignorance of the pre-symptoms. Sometimes, a little knowledge regarding the immediate actions to be taken may help your near and dear ones to survive in such incidents. The response a person takes to treat a victim decides the probability of his/her survival. It’s been my personal experience fighting to survive against a heart attack. Because of having many heart problems, I was enrolled in a concierge Healthcare program from elite health. I was attacked by a severe heart attack in a party, luckily surrounded by many people. Some of the sudden changes in my body was recognized by me and anticipated immediately. I got a very severe chest pain which was almost unbearable for more than a minute. I got the suspicion that I might be having heart attack, and immediately called my physician on the phone, and explained my condition and its severity. Because of the immediate guidance, I was directed immediately to have an aspirin which I used to carry with me as prescribed by my physician. It was quite a frightening experience for me to face such a heart attack, but somehow I managed to be calm until 911 arrived. I was immediately taken to the nearest hospital, where already my physician were present and have got everything setup according to my medical history. And it was in some matter of seconds that everything was in control. A doctor, who already have the complete knowledge of the medical history and fitness of the person, extra ordinarily ameliorate your recovery process. Hence such a concierge level program from Elite health, helped me a save my life, like many others.
