Heart Stroke :
Heart stroke is said to occur when there is a blockage in an artery due to a blood clot or when a blood vessel has ruptured. In both these situations, there may be apotential threat to the life of an individual which requires immediate medical attention.
Symptoms associated with heart stroke include chest pain, discomfort, heartburn, cold sweat, fatigue, etc. Heart stroke can be effectively treated by injecting tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) which causes the blood clots to break down, thus allowing smooth passage of blood to the heart.
