Heart attacks become one of the common diseases known to the public. Unfortunately, not many know the cause of this deadly disease.
The occurrence of heart attacks resulting from fatty areas around the arteries that can clog the bloodstream. It also causes blockage of blood vessels that make the heart's performance abnormal.
Heart attacks can be experienced by patients at any time. Especially if someone already has a risk factor, from one of the habits Unhealthy lifestyle.
Chairman of the Indonesian Association of Cardiology Intervention (PIKI) Dr. Achmad Sunarya Soerianata, SpJP (K) said, heart attacks are sudden and unpredictable. If not immediately helped, would also cause death.
"At the heart attack there is a growth of fat that accumulate, so that the narrowing of the blood vessels of the heart.Because narrowing, blood supply to blood vessels is reduced," said Dr. Achmad on the sidelines opening of ISICAM-INALive in Gandaria City, South Jakarta, Saturday (14 / 10/2017).
However, heart disease is not just an attack. There are many other types of heart disease also equally cause death.
Among the general public, heart attacks are very often discussed. But many do not understand the correlation of this disease.
"Actually, heart disease is a lot of its kind, it can cause death," he explained.
Basically, the heart consists of pumping muscles. Beyond it, it is called a blood vessel with other components.
"Components of the heart such as valves and electrical heart can be disturbed, Heart adhesive can also be disrupted," he explained.
While the role of the heart pump as a driving force that can suddenly stop. Therefore, risk factors for heart attack should be prevented so as not to endanger themselves.
The symptoms of heart attacks are often faced by patients who begin to feel unusual pain in the chest and around the pit of the heart, shortness of breath, and cold sweat. But the people around him certainly do not have to panic.
"Unfortunately, many patients ignore the heart attack symptoms so it is considered not serious," said Dr. Achmad.
Give first aid in the form of CPR technique or artificial breathing and squeeze a little on the chest of the patient. After that, call the nearest clinic to call an ambulance.
If CPR help is done no more than 20 hours after a heart attack, the patient's life can be saved. This technique is also easy to learn by the closest family of heart patients.
"After doing CPR in the patient, immediately take it to the doctor for further help," he said.
But it would be better if doctors perform the action of the heart ring. Whereas by installing a heart ring can open the way in the area of blood vessels, so that heart blockage is open. If not immediately carried out the technique of heart ring installation, chances are heart attacks can recur in a time that is difficult to predict.
