BEWARE THE DANGERS OF HEART ATTACK

CLOSER TO KNOW ABOUT HEART

     The heart is a muscular organ , cone -shaped , hollow and with its base above and below the peak . Its apex ( peak ) tilted to the left. Heart weight of approximately 300 grams . For the heart to function as an efficient pump , the heart muscles , upper cavity and a lower cavity to contract alternately . The rate of heart beats or pump operation is controlled naturally by a " regulatory rhythm " . It consists of a group specifically , called sinotrialis node , located in the wall of the right atrium . An electrical impulse is transmitted from the node to the second platform sinotrialis make them contract simultaneously . An electric current is then passed on to the walls of the chamber , which in turn makes the chambers to contract simultaneously . This period of contraction called systole .

     Furthermore, this period was followed by a short relaxation period - approximately 0.4 seconds - which is called diastole , before the next impulse came . Sinotrialus node generates between 60 to 72 impulses like this every minute when the heart is relaxed . Production of impulses is also controlled by a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system , which works out of our desire . Built-in electric systems is what produces contractions of the heart muscle called beirama heart rate .

HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS

     Prevention is better than cure , this is the right motto used so that one does not have a heart attack . By knowing early on, then prevention will also be done with as soon as possible .

Angina is a feeling of tightness in the chest or squeezing chest feeling , which arises when the heart muscle does not get enough blood . The type and severity of pain or discomfort varies in each person . Some people who experience a lack of blood flow can not feel pain at all ( a condition called silent ischemia ) .

• Shortness of breath is a symptom commonly found in heart failure . Shortness is a result of the influx of fluid into the air spaces in the lungs ( pulmonary congestion or pulmonary

• Tiredness or fatigue. If the heart is not pumping effectively, blood flow to the muscles during activity will be reduced, causing the patient to feel weak and tired. These symptoms are often mild. To overcome this, the patient usually gradually reduce its activity or thought these symptoms as part of aging.

• Palpitations (heart palpitations)

• Dizziness and fainting. Decreased blood flow due to rate or abnormal heart rhythm or because of poor pumping ability, can cause dizziness and fainting.
