Heart Stroke :
A heart stroke is an emergency medical condition that describes a heart attack. The causative factors of a heart stroke include blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle and rupture of a blood vessel, all of which happen due to the accumulation of cholesterol or plaque. The significant signs of a heart stroke include nausea, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and pain and discomfort in the back, neck, or jaw region, and the shoulder. Various investigations such as echocardiogram, chest X-ray, MRI, CT, electrocardiogram, blood investigations and coronary angiogram are performed. Preventive measures to prevent a heart stroke include exercising regularly, managing stress, having regular health checkups, quitting smoking and alcohol consumption, and having a balanced diet. The treatment options to manage a heart stroke involve taking medications, surgical procedures like coronary angioplasty, stent placement, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and cardiac rehabilitation.
