MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: RECOGNIZE DANGEROUS SIGNS FOR TIMELY EMERGENCY TREATMENT WITHIN THE GOLDEN 3 HOURS
Last update 01/03/2025 - 11:07
With over 20 years of experience in cardiac resuscitation, Dr. Ngo Chi Hieu, Clinical and Interventional Cardiology Department at 香港六合彩开奖网, stated: "Recognizing myocardial infarction (heart attack) in its early stages and providing emergency treatment within the golden first 3 hours can minimize heart damage and save patients from this life-threatening condition."
A heart attack may occur suddenly or begin with mild chest pain and discomfort. According to the American Heart Association, when experiencing abnormal symptoms, patients or their families should call emergency services immediately or take the patient to the nearest medical facility. Warning signs of a heart attack include:
- Chest discomfort: A feeling of discomfort in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes, which may stop and return. Patients often feel their chest being squeezed, full, or in pain.
- Discomfort in other areas of the body: Pain or discomfort may spread to the arms, back, jaw, or stomach.
- Shortness of breath: This may occur with or without chest discomfort.
- Dizziness, cold sweats, fainting.
In women, heart attack symptoms may be atypical. Women experiencing a heart attack may show other signs, such as:
- Nausea or vomiting: Patients may feel as though they need to empty their stomach entirely. This symptom is often mistaken for digestive issues.
- Pain in the neck, jaw, or back: Women may experience pain in these areas instead of chest pain, which can worsen with physical activity.
- Fatigue: Women may feel exhausted and unable to perform daily activities in the days leading up to a heart attack.
- Sleep disturbances: Over 50% of women report difficulty sleeping or waking up during the night weeks before a heart attack.
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat: Often seen in postmenopausal women.
Some patients may ignore these symptoms, assuming they are "false alarms." However, hesitation can be life-threatening.
Cardiologists recommend that women aged 40 and above have regular heart check-ups to detect early signs of heart disease. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are essential for maintaining heart health.
