Angina and MI And 2 Common Causes of Chest Pain

 Chest pain has two causes there are many causes of chest pain, but the most common are angina, and MI. Coronary arteries carry oxygen and remove waste products. Fat deposits on the walls of blood vessels can cause them to become narrow or hard - often both. This combination calls atherosclerosis and causes several heart problems.

Many Anginas: Chest pain from angina caused by temporary. Loss of oxygen to the heart muscle due to reduced blood flow. The lack of circulation causes an increase in carbon dioxide and lactic acid. This causes chest pain like a 'cramp' in the heart muscle and a drop in oxygen.

Angina episodes are often triggered by exercise. But that means jogging on the bus, not running a marathon. , the chest pain disappears again when the person rests. The workload of the heart reduces nitroglycerin. You can help people manage it as first aid. But don't decide to give what you find out of your pocket!

Angina pectoralis can be stable or unstable

Stable angina is the most common type. It follows a familiar and predictable pattern. Exercise reduces emotion or other triggers and usually rests for 2-5 minutes.

Unstable winds are worse. Enlarged blood vessels can lead to heart disease. Pain can vary in intensity or 'come and go'. Unstable wind cannot relax and rest. An MI can be a warning sign of an MI or heart attack. Done!

A more severe myocardial infarction or heart attack. This is the damage or death of the heart muscle due to the complete cessation of blood flow. Bleeding, embolism, seizures, swelling. The lack of blood flow to the muscles can cause death. Heart failure and death can occur depending on the area affected and how much of the heart affects. Acute MI is a common cause of death and effective CPR is. Defibrillation and ACLS are important to reduce the likelihood of this happening.

The first step in managing both of these conditions is recognizing them!
