heart attack causes and risk factors

heart attack
One of the most serious cardiovascular conditions is a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. Just like any other organ, the muscles in your heart also need oxygen to survive. A heart attack occurs when this oxygen supply is severely reduced or cut off completely due to the heart muscles becoming weak leading to their inability to pump blood. Though it’s a serious condition, when treated in time, you can live a normal and productive life.
Often the term ‘heart attack’ is used interchangeably with the term ‘cardiac arrest’, but they are not the same. While in a heart attack, the blood flow to the heart is constricted due to a circulation-related problem, cardiac arrest meaning is when the heart stops functioning suddenly due to a malfunction or an electrical problem.
what causes a heart attack?
Here are some causes of a heart attack:
- One of the most common causes of heart attack (CHD) is coronary heart disease, which is the clogging of your coronary arteries with deposits such as fat, cholesterol, and plaque. When this deposit ruptures, it leads to a blood clot that blocks the blood supply triggering a heart attack in the process. When this buildup, known as atherosclerosis, continues unchecked, it may lead to congestive heart failure. CHD is caused due to reasons such as:
- High cholesterol
- Consuming a high-calorie diet
- High blood pressure or hypertension
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Long-term use of stimulant drugs such as cocaine and meth. This is also one of the main causes of cardiac arrest.
- Poor lung function
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
2. Sudden spasms in the arteries that may cause twitching or cutting off of the blood supply may also cause a heart attack or heart failure.
3. Tears or ruptures in the arteries due to trauma or injury.
4. A blood clot from elsewhere in the body that gets trapped in the artery.
what are the symptoms of a heart attack?
Here are some heart attack symptoms to look out for:
1. One of the most common heart blockage symptoms is angina (chest pain). This could be mild or severe. This may start in the chest and radiate to your left (or both) arms, jaw, back, neck, and waist.
2. Shortness of breath is one of the common heart disease symptoms.
3. Stomach discomfort or nausea.
4. Palpitations are among the oft-cited heart problem symptoms.
5. Sweating
6. Dizziness, fainting, or light-headedness.
what are the risk factors of a heart attack?
Certain factors put some people at a higher risk of heart attacks than other people. These include:
1. Your age and gender play a major role in your being at risk for a heart attack. Men are at a higher risk post the age of 50 years. Women’s risk increases after the age of 50 and menopause.
2. Family history of coronary heart diseases (the most common type of heart disease) and heart attacks is one of the major risk factors.
3. Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as lack of physical activity and poor dietary choices put you at a higher risk of heart diseases. These include consuming too much sodium, sugar, fat and long-term dependence on alcohol and smoking.
4. Lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, when unchecked, may lead to a heart attack. The high levels of blood glucose damage the coronary nerves and blood vessels leading to this condition.
5. A history of high blood pressure, that causes your arteries to strain and get damaged, may lead to a heart attack when left untreated.
6. Obesity is a major risk factor that causes clogging of the arteries.
7. People who experience chronic stress, anxiety, or depression are at a higher risk of this condition. Your body produces cortisol under stressful conditions that contribute to increasing your blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and triglycerides, leading to a higher risk of a heart attack.
what are the different types of heart attacks?
Heart attacks are classified into three types:
1. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: Also known as STEMI, this occurs when one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked completely leading to a stoppage of blood flow. This is a serious form of heart attack that has symptoms such as chest pain, arm or back pain, anxiety, light-headedness, nausea, and cold sweats.
2. Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction: Known also as NSTEMI, this occurs when a coronary artery is partially blocked. This type of heart attack doesn’t show up on an ECG and is diagnosed through a blood test and elevated troponin protein levels.
3. Coronary artery spasm: Also known as CAS, unstable angina, or a silent heart attack, this occurs due to tightening of the coronary arteries leading to stoppage in the blood flow. While there is no permanent damage in this and they are not as serious as the other two types of heart attacks, this does increase the risk of another heart attack.
what is the treatment for heart attack?
Heart attack is a serious condition that needs immediate medical attention. Once the diagnosis is confirmed through equipment for cardiac care, your treatment will include:
- First aid for heart attack: This includes medications such as aspirin or thrombolytics to prevent clotting of blood, oxygen therapy, and pain relievers. You may also be advised beta-blockers or ACE inhibitors to help relax your heart muscles and reduce the stress on the heart.
- Treatment of myocardial infarction: Depending on the severity of your heart condition, treatment of myocardial infarction may include
- Coronary artery bypass surgery is a heart failure treatment that involves the sewing of veins or arteries around the narrowed artery.
- Coronary stenting and angioplasty is a heart attack treatment in which, a catheter is inserted to find and treat blockages.
Following a healthy lifestyle can prevent heart attacks and other coronary conditions. It is also advised to undergo routine check-ups to know the health of your heart to arrest cardiac problems before they become serious.

Virginie BARON
To whom this letter of recommendation may concern.
Dear Sir,
I would like to share our very positive feedback concerning your business partner Vinay Venugopal.
He has been nothing but diligent and efficient in organising PCR tests for the whole family on behalf of Portea. And this several times being particularly proactive in paving the way through the registration and payment processes of the company, smoothing the way out for us right form the start until we received our results.
Kindly take this recommendation as a priority as Vinay Venugopal is certainly an added value to any company he would offer his services to.
Not to mention being able to communicate in English with him really took the stress off the whole medical process, which can certainly not be said for other laboratory partners.
This is one of the reasons we will carry on giving our business to Portea.
Best regards,
Johanna SALVADO and Family

Raghav Pant
Dr. Neeraj
I, Raghav Pant got tested positive for COVID 19 on the 19th of April. Post that I was admitted to the hospital for continuous dip in my saturation / oxygen levels. I was admitted for 9-10 days where I underwent treatment.
During the course of my treatment in the hospital I was introduced to Dr. Neeraj (Physiotherapist), with whom I had few physiotherapy sessions in the hospital. Dr. Neeraj is a highly professional doctor, he not only understood the need of the hour i.e. my treatment but also counselled and motivated me to get better , something I believe was more important than anything else at that time.
Through Portea I was fortunate enough to get Dr. Neeraj as my physiotherapist once I got discharged from the hospital. Both my mother and myself took 5 days of session with the Doctor and after 5 days our saturation level peaked to 97/98, all thanks to the dedication , motivation provided by Dr. Neeraj to my mother and myself who have now completely recovered.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Portea and Dr. Neeraj for helping us in our road to recovery post COVID 19.
Thank you
Raghav Pant

I got my bloodwork done at Portea. The whole process was smooth and professional. My appointment was booked for 12 noon and the person came by 11:55am. They sanitized themselves and all the equipment was new and sealed. The blood draw was painless and fast. The whole process lasted just 5 mins. The next morning I received all my bloodwork via email. This is the most convenient and high quality experience of blood diagnostics I’ve had. Highly recommend to anybody and everybody! I will never visit a clinic for this again.

“I am Ishita’s Mom , Tanya vardhan. I work as a Principal for a preschool. It was 26th May when I discovered that Ishita has foot drop and I was shattered, down and lost all the hopes. Meanwhile, we approached Portea for Physiotherapy and we met Mangala Fale as our Physiotherapist . She came like an angel and turned around the table so beautifully. Today my daughter is almost recovered. You can say it’s 97% on track. Ishita has gained her confidence back and I see Mangla Fale’s perseverance and hard work has changed her life 360°.
When professionalism and expertise shake hand with love and care you can get an expert professional like Mangla Fale who cures you magically. I don’t have words to extend my heartfelt thankfulness to Mangala and Portea team. Please keep up the good work as getting Professionals are easy but getting loving Professionals is rare.”

Alekhya is a very good physiotherapist. She is very good at her work. She explained every step she was doing and how it would help me in reducing the pain. She was patient and listened to the problems that was causing the pain and suggested some alternatives to the way I was doing things. She also taught me some exercises which have helped me to improve flexibility and has built muscle strength.
She was also on time for all the physiotherapy sessions.

I had severe pain on the left leg and hip, due to which it was difficult for me to sit and walk. When I requested for physiotherapist from Portea. Dr. Vinay Chandra had been assigned. He is a thorough professional who not only analyzed the problem but also explained the details. By the end of the 2nd session, I was able to walk and sit properly. He explained and guided me in doing the exercises, which I follow daily. This has helped me a lot and I don’t have any discomfort while sitting or walking.

I had 2 physiotherapy sessions with Dr. Chandni for the two days that I was in Delhi for my trigger thumb. Wanted to express my appreciation for her expertise and the good work that she did.
Without being negative on the therapist who has been doing the work in Bangalore, I should mention that Dr Chandni was more than twice as good as the therapist in Bangalore.
Chandni, thank you also for all the pictures you have sent me for the exercises to be done

Hirak has been a sincere and effective physiotherapist. Please pass on my sincere thanks to him. Initially we did not get a great physio, but with Hirak coming in, we were comfortable.

I was treated by Dr. Vinay Chandra for physiotherapy. He is very knowledgeable, treats the patient with a lot of patience and is very punctual. He helps and encourages the patient during painful times. With his treatment, my frozen shoulder has been nearly cured. Of course the remaining bit has to be cured through daily exercises. I would strongly recommend Dr. Vinay Chandra for physiotherapy.

I wish to say a few words about the great service provided by Portea staff and especially physiotherapist Dr. Chetan Kumar. My father who is 70 yrs old with history of back problems had gradually worsening back condition since beginning of 2018 and could not even get up or sit up starting Feb 1st. We took x-ray and MRI and the diagnosis was minimal extrusion on L4-L5 and L5-S1. Doctor’s advise was bed rest and painkillers. Painkillers gave temporary relief but overall condition of my father deteriorated. With the expert physiotherapy session, his health has become better now.

“I am Ishita’s Mom , Tanya vardhan. I work as a Principal for a preschool. It was 26th May when I discovered that Ishita has foot drop and I was shattered, down and lost all the hopes. Meanwhile, we approached Portea for Physiotherapy and we met Mangala Fale as our Physiotherapist . She came like an angel and turned around the table so beautifully. Today my daughter is almost recovered. You can say it’s 97% on track. Ishita has gained her confidence back and I see Mangla Fale’s perseverance and hard work has changed her life 360°.
When professionalism and expertise shake hand with love and care you can get an expert professional like Mangla Fale who cures you magically. I don’t have words to extend my heartfelt thankfulness to Mangala and Portea team. Please keep up the good work as getting Professionals are easy but getting loving Professionals is rare.”

Swaroop Mukerjee, my Physiotherapist was a man with knowledge. He is a dedicated, professional, punctual and most of all gave me the confidence for speedy recovery unlike most others physiotherapist who had should limited knowledge or confidence. After the first three sessions I completely trusted Swaroop and I was looking forward to my session each day.
I also want to extend sincere my thanks to Baishakhi Mukherjee who clearly understood my problem of disc prolapse in my lower spine and helped

Alekhya is a very good physiotherapist. She is very good at her work. She explained every step she was doing and how it would help me in reducing the pain. She was patient and listened to the problems that was causing the pain and suggested some alternatives to the way I was doing things. She also taught me some exercises which have helped me to improve flexibility and has built muscle strength.
She was also on time for all the physiotherapy sessions.

My wife had GBS attack during 1st week of January. She has recovered fully due to Physiotherapy efforts from Dr. Yogini and also her affectionate behaviour towards the lady. Her improvement was endorsed by Dr. Tushar Raut (Attending Neurologist at Kokilaben Dhirabhai Hospital ), during follow-up consultation with him.

I had severe pain on the left leg and hip, due to which it was difficult for me to sit and walk. When I requested for physiotherapist from Portea. Dr. Vinay Chandra had been assigned. He is a thorough professional who not only analyzed the problem but also explained the details. By the end of the 2nd session, I was able to walk and sit properly. He explained and guided me in doing the exercises, which I follow daily. This has helped me a lot and I don’t have any discomfort while sitting or walking.

I had 2 physiotherapy sessions with Dr. Chandni for the two days that I was in Delhi for my trigger thumb. Wanted to express my appreciation for her expertise and the good work that she did.
Without being negative on the therapist who has been doing the work in Bangalore, I should mention that Dr Chandni was more than twice as good as the therapist in Bangalore.
Chandni, thank you also for all the pictures you have sent me for the exercises to be done

Hirak has been a sincere and effective physiotherapist. Please pass on my sincere thanks to him. Initially we did not get a great physio, but with Hirak coming in, we were comfortable. Hirak has been much better than a Manipal physio who came for a few days, and was recommended by her treating doctor.

I was treated by Dr. Vinay Chandra for physiotherapy. He is very knowledgeable, treats the patient with a lot of patience and is very punctual. He helps and encourages the patient during painful times. With his treatment, my frozen shoulder has been nearly cured. Of course the remaining bit has to be cured through daily exercises. I would strongly recommend Dr. Vinay Chandra for physiotherapy.

I wish to say a few words about the great service provided by Portea staff and especially physiotherapist Dr. Chetan Kumar. My father who is 70 yrs old with history of back problems had gradually worsening back condition since beginning of 2018 and could not even get up or sit up starting Feb 1st. We took x-ray and MRI and the diagnosis was minimal extrusion on L4-L5 and L5-S1. Doctor’s advise was bed rest and painkillers. Painkillers gave temporary relief but overall condition of my father deteriorated. With the expert physiotherapy session, his health has become better now.
