Slide Content
“HEART ATTACK ” Myocardial Infarction
The Heart › Is a muscle the size of a clenched fist › Is located behind the breastbone › Pumps about 100,000 times a day › Pumps about 7,600 litres of blood er day
What Is Heart Attack? › Occurs when the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle become blocked. › Partially blocked it causes angina. ›When fully myocardial ttack! blocked infar ction it causes a or a heart

Other warning signs of a heart attack Shortness of breath Sweating Nausea Light- headedness
Warning Signs › Chest pain (angina) › Heaviness, tightness, pain, burning, pressure or squeezing ° behind the breastbone or in the arms, neck, or jaws › Perhaps no pain
Consequencess › Lack of oxygen due to ischemia (lack of blood supply) › Narrowing of coronary arteries › Heart responds with angina › Finally, heart attack (myocardial infarction) ¿Possible permanent damage
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation › Help during a cardiac arrest › Give breaths and pump the heart › Done by ordinary people › Saves lives
Unchangeable Risk Factors › Age- the older you get, the greater the chance. › Sex- males have a greater rate even after women pass menopause. › Family history- if family members have had CHD, there is a greater chance.
Normal vessel Hypertension “Blood measures hard pushes pressure how blood against the blood vessel walls.” /,› •-
Blood pressure has TWO numbers › Top number = pressure when heart contracts (systolic) › Bottom number = pressure when heart relaxes (diastolic) › Example: healthy BP = 120 80

Cholesterol › Waxy fat substance in the blood › Our body needs cholesterol to function › Liver makes all the cholesterol it needs to survive › Other sources of cholesterol come from food › Cholesterol is found in animal products such as meat, eggs and whole milk dairy products › If the level of cholesterol gets to high, it can stick to artery walls and cause serious health problems

Good Cholesterol › HDL is known as the good cholesterol. It helps carry some of the bad cholesterol out of the body. › It does not have the tendency to clog arteries. › Levels should be >35. › High levels of HDL >60 can actually negate one other risk factor.
Bad Cholesterol › LDL is known as bad cholesterol. tendency to increase risk of CHD. It has a › LDL's are a major component atherosclerotic plaque that clogs arteries. of the › Levels should be <130
Most important High cholesterol does not have any symptoms. If neglected, it can produce serious problems like Angina Heart attack Stroke Tackle the cholesterol now Tomorrow it might be too late
How can I bring down my cholesterol levels ? Proper diet Exercise regularly Stop smoking Reduce alcohol Follow the medication prescribed by your doctor Remember, what is good for you, your doctor knows the best
Obesity › Associated with diabetes mellitus hypertensicn cholesterol abnormality › Body mass index Weight (km) Height (m2) 20- 25 : Ideal > 28 : Overweight ¿30 : Obesity
Obesity › People who are obese have 2 to 6 times the risk of developing hypertension. › Location of the body fat is significant.

Diabetes › 2- 4 fold risk for CHD › Asymptomatic CHD - 30- 40% › Painless AMI, arrythmias, CCF, longer hospital stay › CHD- A major (60%) cause of mortality
Physical Inactivity › Increasing physical activity has shown to decrease blood pressure. been › Moderate to intense physical activity for 30- 45 minutes on most days of the week is recommended.
Smoking › Causes an increase in blood pressure › Lowers the levels of HDL › Within 1 year of quitting, CAD risk decreases, within 2 years it reaches the level of a nonsmoker.
Smoking › Contributes to development of atherosclerosis › Lowers levels of HDL ° causes deterioration of elasticity of vessels ° Responsible for 20% of all deaths from heart disease Female smokers have a higher risk than male smokers
Alcohol Intake › In small amounts it acts as a vasodilator. › In large amounts it acts as a vasoconstrictor & adds to the caloric intake › The good & Bad affects of Alcohol are divided with a very fine line!
Alcohol not too good either! 51 Alcohol kills brain cells Damages liver Increases BP Añects heartbeat Increases risk of hea¥ axack 190 170 160 150 130 110 70 50 180 140 120 100 80 60

What you must do? › Call for help › Do not attribute it to “Gas” › Reach a hospital as soon as possible › Insist on an ECG › Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
› Aspirin is an antiplatelet agent › Aspirin should be given in a dose of 75- 325 mg/day to all patients with ACS unless there is a contraindication › Clopidogrel is a potent antiplatelet agent › Give 300 mg loading dose followed by 75 mg/day
Prevention - Diet › Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. ( 5 servings - they are naturally low in fat and high in vitamins and minerals) › Eat a variety of grain products › Choose nonfat or low- fat products. › Use lean meats- choose chicken, fish, turkey and lean cuts of beef and pork. › Switch to fat- free milk- gradually reduce the fat content of the milk you drink.
Diet › Choose fats with 2 gms or less of saturated fats per serving such as liquid and tub margarines, canola oil and olive oil. › Balance the # of calories you eat with the number of calories you use each day. › Maintain a level of physical activity that keeps you fit and matches the # of calories you eat.
Diet › Limit your intake of foods high in calories and low in nutrition, including foods like soft drinks and candy. › Limit foods high in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol. › Eat less than 6 gms of salt a day. › Have no more than one alcoholic drink a day.
Exercise › Adults aged 18- 64 should accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate-to- vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity per week in bouts of 10 minutes or more › Be active most days of the week › Consult a healthcare before starting an activity program professional
› Avoid Smoking › Blood Pressure Control, BP < 140/90 › Physical Activity › Lipid Control. Cholesterol < 200 Mg/DI › › LDL HDL < 130 Mg/DI > 35 Mg/DI › Diabetic Control › Weight Reduction › Aspirin in High Risk Groups › Diet . Cholesterol Free Diet with plenty of fruits vegetables and fibres
BP Blood Sugar BMI Salt
Conclusions › Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer. › It is highly preventable and controllable with diet and exercise.
