Heart Attack Basics Advertisement You Just Watched: Replay Up Next: Starts in 15 Seconds Related Videos: Heart Attack Basics » It all boils down to blood flow, when it comes to a heart attack. But do you know what interferes with that blood flow? Watch this to learn the basics. Transcript: A heart attack occurs when blood flow to your heart is REDUCED OR INTERRUPTED. Sure, there's a lot more... A heart attack occurs when blood flow to your heart is REDUCED OR INTERRUPTED. Sure, there's a lot more that goes into it than that, but it all boils down to blood flow. There are two things that can interfere with blood flow:First--disease in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This is known as CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE. And SECOND, a severe arterial spasm. Coronary artery disease is the MOST common cause of a heart attack. The coronary arteries bring blood and oxygen TO the heart, and if you have coronary disease, this means those arteries are narrowed by a waxy plaque buildup. Blood platelets can stick to this plaque, which is made up of cholesterol and other cells, causing clots to form-or chunks of the plaque itself can be become dislodged and form a FULL arterial blockage. But in other cases -- for instance, when you're stressed or in the midst of strenuous activity - REDUCED blood flow due to plaque buildup can also cause a heart attack. Risk factors for developing coronary artery disease include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, poor diet, lack of physical activity, depression and chronic stress....and fortunately you can control MANY of these risk factors. Coronary artery SPASMS, although rare, CAN happen in people who have heart disease AND in people with healthy hearts. In those cases, the spasms may be triggered by tobacco use, exposure to cold, emotional stress or drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine. If you think you or someone else is having a heart attack, call 9-1-1 RIGHT AWAY. This will allow for possible life-saving emergency treatments, such as drugs that'll break down the clot, or angioplasty, a procedure that opens narrowed arteries. In severe cases, heart bypass surgery may be performed. After a heart attack, your chance of having another one is higher, and your doctor will fill you in on lifestyle changes and possible medications.

Find out more about this connection by watching this video. Transcript: With all the talk of how cigarette smoking causes lung cancer and other respiratory problems, it's easy... With all the talk of how cigarette smoking causes lung cancer and other respiratory problems, it's easy to overlook the impact it can have on your heart and the rest of the cardiovascular system. In the United States, about 20 percent of deaths from heart disease are directly related to cigarette smoking. The heart is damaged by smoking because the chemicals in cigarette smoke encourage the buildup of plaque - a fatty substance-- along artery walls. Over time, the plaque thickens and hardens, narrowing the arteries and reducing blood flow to the heart. This sets the stage for angina, stroke and heart attack. The nicotine in cigarettes is another heart attacker. It increases blood pressure, heart rate and blood clotting, while it decreases levels of available oxygen. The result is damage to cells that line coronary arteries and other blood vessels. If you happen to be a smoker who also has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or are overweight, well, your chances of developing heart disease are even greater. The MORE you smoke, the greater your risk for developing heart disease, period. People who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day are more than twice as likely to have a heart attack as nonsmokers. But your risk of heart disease is cut IN HALF just ONE YEAR after quitting. For more information on preventing heart disease, watch the other videos in this series.

"If only preventing a heart attack were as easy as sipping on a nice pinot noir. Well, it may be. According to much enjoyed research, red wine -- in moderation -- is thought to prevent heart disease, which in turn, could prevent heart attacks. One study, conducted by researchers from the Israel Institute of Technology found that blood flow to the heart was improved when participants drank at least one glass of red wine a day for three weeks. This is because cell death, known as apoptosis, was reduced and antioxidants in the wine may help protect the lining of blood vessels in the heart. Another study, done by researchers at the University of Ulm in Germany, found that resveratrol, a substance in red wine, may reduce risk of cardiovascular disease in moderate drinkers. Seems that resveratrol increases levels of ""good"" heart-protecting HDL cholesterol and protects against artery damage. Resveratrol is also thought to prevent blood clots, which are a main cause of heart attacks. To gain the benefits, the researchers recommend that men average about 10 ounces of wine a day and women, about 5 ounces. Remember though, neither the American Heart Association nor the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommend that you START drinking alcohol to prevent a heart attack. Alcohol can be addictive, and contribute to a wide range of health problems, including high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy, liver damage, obesity and various cancers If you'd rather not indulge in a glass of wine, you can opt for a glass of grape juice, since resveratrol is found in the grape's skin, or for adding peanuts, blueberries and cranberries into your diet, all of which contain resveratrol,If you are on medication or have chronic health issues, talk with your doctor about the potential risks and benefits of drinking wine.

Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough oxygen. Angina is not the same thing as a heart attack, although its symptoms can sometimes appear similar. Angina occurs when the coronary arteries, the primary source of blood for the heart, become partially blocked by a build up of fatty deposits called plaque. This build up reduces the flow of blood to the heart, decreasing the supply of oxygen and causing the pain we experience as Angina.

While it may be possible for a physician to determine if you have Angina just from the physical exam and history, tests will often need to be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. These tests may include an EKG, which measures the regularity of your heartbeat, stress tests to see how your heart responds to exercise, and diagnostic blood tests. For patients suffering from Angina, there are several effective treatment options available. The first and simplest option is a lifestyle change. Your doctor can advise you on how to make dietary changes, lose weight, and change your physical activities to avoid angina episodes. Your doctor may also be able to prescribe medications that can help with your angina. For example, nitrates can be used both to relieve pain during the onset of an episode and to actually prevent an episode. When other methods do not work, Angioplasty or Surgery may be necessary to treat Angina.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance found among the lipids in the bloodstream and in cells throughout the body. Cholesterol is not inherently "bad" - in fact, cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance in the body that plays a critical role the formation of cell membranes and the manufacture of hormones. But the body only needs a small amount of Cholesterol to carry out these functions. When the body has too much Cholesterol that is when it becomes a potential health risk. To see why this is, it helps to understand a bit more about how cholesterol interacts with the body. Cholesterol and other fats cannot dissolve in the blood stream. So, they need to be transported in to and out of cells by special carriers called lipoproteins. Cholesterol is carried by two of these, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is the primary carrier of Cholesterol, while HDL moves only about one third of the cholesterol in the body. When the amount of cholesterol in the blood stream increases, the body needs to create additional lipoproteins to transport them. LDL has become known as "bad" cholesterol because when there is too much of it in the blood stream it tends to build up on the arterial walls, forming plaque. This plaque buildup clogs and hardens the arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis. This can lead to heart attack or a stroke. HDL has been dubbed "good cholesterol" because it seems to actually aid in removing cholesterol from the body, by carrying it away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it's passed from the body. Determining your cholesterol level is easy, and can be done with a simple blood test. The "normal level" of cholesterol for any individual depends upon their age, weight, and sex, but typically an LDL level of above 160 is considered high. Similarly an HDL level below 40 would usually be considered too low. Either high LDL levels or low HDL levels can put you at risk for plaque buildup. Although our bodies do naturally make a small amount of cholesterol, most of our cholesterol comes from ingesting fatty foods. The first and easiest way to reduce cholesterol is to restrict your fat intake. High cholesterol is an important factor in heart disease and stroke, and managing your cholesterol is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. The good news is that there are many effective ways to manage high cholesterol, as you can see from other films in this library. However, an important first step toward a heart healthy lifestyle should be to see your doctor and find out your Cholesterol level.

Heart Disease affects more than 20 million Americans, and is one of the leading causes of death in this country. But what exactly does the term heart disease mean? When most people talk about heart disease, they usually mean coronary artery disease, the illness which causes both angina and heart attacks. However, there are also other conditions that can affect our cardiovascular system, such as congestive heart failure and aneurysms. To better understand each of these diseases, it helps to review how the heart works. Basically the heart is a pump. Its purpose is to circulate blood to all of the organs of the body. The heart is made up of four chambers, two ventricles that pump blood out of the heart, and two atria, which hold the blood returning to the heart. The heart receives its entire supply of blood through the three coronary arteries. Coronary artery disease occurs when there is a buildup of fatty plaque known as atherosclerosis inside the coronary arteries. When the buildup is sufficient to restrict, but not stop, blood flow into the heart, the result is angina, a discomfort or pain in the chest. Angina isn't actually a disease, but rather is a symptom of coronary artery disease. When the buildup of atherosclerosis is sufficient to interrupt blood flow to the heart, the result is the death of heart muscle cells, commonly known as a heart attack. So, both angina and heart attacks are really caused by the buildup here, in the coronary arteries. Congestive Heart Failure, on the other hand occurs when the heart is pumping inefficiently and can no longer meet the body's need for blood. The ventricles, which are the main pumps within the heart, often are to blame for the insufficient blood flow. The "congestive" part of Congestive Heart Failure comes from the backup of blood in the veins leading into the heart. This backup causes the kidney to retain fluids. Other, less common diseases affect other parts of the heart. For example, when a patient is suffering from an aneurysm, that means that their aorta has swollen, creating a bulge in the artery. Understanding heart disease is an important first step towards prevention. It may also be worthwhile to learn how high blood pressure and cholesterol can impact your heart health, and to incorporate some of the lifestyle tips on preventing heart disease available in other videos in this library. Remember, heart disease is both complex and serious, and you should always consult a physician if you are concerned about your cardio health.

Transcript: When someone has a heart attack, they need to receive medical attention as soon as possible. How can... When someone has a heart attack, they need to receive medical attention as soon as possible. How can you tell when what you are experiencing is a heart attack? How should you respond? It can sometimes be hard to differentiate between the symptoms of a heart attack and more common occurrences like chest pain or severe heartburn. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to help tell the difference. While all three conditions are characterized by intense pain in and around the chest, there are several distinctive symptoms associated with a heart attack. Often, people suffering from a heart attack describe the pain they feel as radiating outward and leading to intense pain in the back, throat, or jaw. There can also be pain running down the left arm. Many heart attack sufferers also feel weakness and a distinct shortness of breath because the heart is no longer effectively circulating blood. Nausea, vomiting, a feeling of dizziness, and profuse sweating are also common symptoms of heart attack. All of these symptoms can be better understood in the context of what happens during a heart attack. The heart itself is a muscle, and its job is to circulate blood throughout the body. Oxygen-rich blood comes into the heart through two passages, known as the coronary arteries. Heart attacks occur when the fatty deposits or plaque build up in these arteries rupture and cause a clot in the artery. Without this oxygen-rich blood, the heart muscle begins to die, which is the source of the pain during a heart attack. Given this, it is not surprising that one other common symptom of heart attack is a rapid or an irregular heartbeat. The right response to a heart attack is simple. First, call 911 immediately, and ask for emergency help. Second, while you are waiting for the ambulance to arrive, take one regular strength aspirin tablet. This will prevent blood clotting that can worsen a heart attack. Being able to quickly recognize a heart attack will help you to respond fast, and the sooner you get proper treatment, the better your chances are of avoiding permanent damage to the heart. Remember, heart disease is both complex and serious, and you should always consult a physician if you have concerns.
