We often think that heart attack is always accompanied by sharp pain, heaviness in chest and lack of breath. These are classic symptoms of heart attack. But do you know that these symptoms are not seen in every heart attack? Heart attacks that do not have typical symptoms are called “silent heart attack”. They do not have a significant chest pen, but they are equally dangerous, because they are often confused with other diseases and are not treated on time.

An example is the silent myocardial ischemia, in which oxygen-rich blood reaches the heart. During this time there are no pain or other symptoms, but may be abnormal, such as ECG or echocardiogram.

What do doctors say

Dr. Sunil Wadhwa, Associate Director, Cardiology, Max Hospital, Gurugram says that the number of sudden cardiac events is increasing and it is a matter of concern for public health. This means that it is very important to raise awareness and to improve screening and treatment, especially in AT-Risk Population.

5 things to keep in mind

• Heart attack may occur when sleeping or waking up.
• Silent ischemia is a strong indicator of mortality; About 70–80 per cent incidents occur without symptoms.
• Due to lack of pain, patients do not seek medical help on time, which increases morbidity and mortality.
• Women, elderly, patients with diabetes mellitus, and who have previously underwent heart attack or re -treatment, are more prone.
• Evidence of silent myocardial ischemia is found in 15 to 30 percent of patients and 30 to 40 percent of patients with unstable angina have been found first myocardial infarction.

Symptoms of silent heart attack (flu -like)

• Chest or back pain
• Jaw, hand or top pain
• Indigestion
• Shortness of breath
• Round head
• Uncomfortable body
• Cold sweat
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fatigue without reason for several days

Reason

The main reason for silent heart attack is to become lipid-rich plaques and become a clot in coronary arteries. Other risk factor includes:

• Excess weight (body mass index 25 plus)
• Unhealthy lifestyle
• Diabetes Mellitus, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol
• Excessive intake of processed food
• Chronic anxiety, depression
• Tobacco intake (cigarette, vepping)
• Preclampsia in pregnancy
• Infection: UTI, Pneumonia
• Coronary Vasospasm, vasculitis, injury, medicines like cocaine
• Severe anemia
• Obstructive sleep apnea

Clinical presentation

• Type i: Without symptoms, first myocardial infarction
• Type II: Without symptoms, first symptomatic myocardial ischemia
• Type III: It is known about it, symptomatic or asymptomatic coronary artery disease

Diagnostic check

ECG, stress tests and blood tests can help identify silent heart attacks. If you are at risk or feel the symptoms mentioned above, it is necessary to get a doctor evaluated immediately.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of heart attack in the world, but it often develops gradually and without any clear symptoms. This occurs when fatty deposits or plaques accumulate in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, which reduces circulation and increases the pressure on the heart. It is often not visible in the initial phase, but the body slowly sends signs which should never be ignored.

Timely identification and lifestyle changes such as heart-haldi diet, regular exercise, stress control and regular medical examination can slow the progress of coronary artery disease. If any signal appears, it is very important to take medical attention immediately.

Chest pen

Angina or chest pain is the most common sign of CAD. It often looks like pressure, tight feeling or squeeezing, such as a heavy object is sitting on a chest. This pain is usually between the chest or on the left side and can be trigger by physical activity, stress or heavy food. If this pain is persistent or acute, contact the doctor immediately, as it may be a warning sign of heart attack.

Shortness of breath

Lack of breath may be a sign of heart problem after mild activity or while resting. When heart blood does not pump properly, oxygen reaches less in the tissues of the body, which leads to lack of breath.

Chest

Heart -related pain is not always in the chest. Sometimes it can spread to the hand, shoulder, top back, neck, jaw or upper abdomen. This is called referred pain. Such pain is often considered muscle stretch or indigestion, but if it is frequent or without reason, it can be a sign of CAD.

Dizzy

Repeated dizziness or light head feeling is a sign that heart is not able to send blood to the brain properly. Poor circulation reaches less oxygen, which can also cause weakness or unconsciousness.

Sweat without reason

Sudden cold sweating without physical exertion is the indication that there is pressure on the heart. If sweat chest is accompanied by pain, nausea or dizziness, it can be an indication of early heart attack.

Ankle

Abnormal swelling or puffiness may occur in ankle, legs or thighs. This happens when the heart blood is not able to pump properly and the fluid is stored in the body.

persistent cough

Continuous cough that increases while lying down may be associated with heart problem. Fluid in heart failure can cause chronic cough or wheezing due to accumulation of fluid in the lungs.

Irregular heartbeat

Skipped beats, fast fluttering or Racing heart rhythm can be ArrhythMias. If this affair, chest pain or unconsciousness, a doctor should be evaluated immediately.

Throat

Pain in the throat or jaw alone is usually not associated with heart disease. But if this chest is with tightness or pressure, it can be a sign of angina or heart attack.

Digestive discomfort

Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain are often considered digestive problems, but it can also be associated with CAD, especially in women.

Coronary artery disease is often called a silent killer because it develops slowly and hides behind the Everyday Symptoms. Identifying these subtle signals can make a difference between Early Intervention and Medical Emergency. Timely diagnosis, Proper Medical Care and Healthy Lifestyle – Balanced Nutrition, Regular Exercise, Stress Control and Tobacco – You can protect your heart and arteries.
