How to identify the possibility and the best treatment of a heart Attack?

A heart attack is a major tragedy where there is an absolute stoppage in the supply of blood by an artery to a particular region of your heart. The primary reason behind the blockage is a blood clot that disrupts the supply of the blood from a single artery to the heart muscle. In order to ensure the operational efficiency of your heart, it is crucial that blood is circulated and supplied in an effective manner throughout your heart and body. Impediment in the processes as mentioned earlier can put an individual under the risk of having a heart attack. While it is possible for a person to survive a one or two incidents of a heart attack, but it is a life-threatening condition, and some of the patients are not able to survive even a single heart attack.

Old age people are more susceptible to the possibility of a heart attack as the inner walls of the arteries tends to deteriorate with the decline in age owing to the accumulation of plaque. A part of this plaque build-up detaches, passes through the bloodstream, attaches with the damaged portion of the inner wall of arteries and leads to the formation of blood clots. A heart attack occurs as a result of complete blockage of the blood supply to the heart. That’s why a patient experiences extreme chest pain and other related problems before a heart attack takes place.

Therefore, it is essential to revive the normal blood supply and improve the blood flow to prevent permanent damage to the heart.

Blood tests are done to identify the presence of certain enzymes responsible for causing damage, which leads to heart damage.

The treatment for the heart is given to the patient conforming to the severity of their condition. The two main types of heart treatments include:
