All About Heart Attack: At present, cases of heart attack are increasing rapidly. From common people to celebrities are losing their lives due to heart attacks. This dangerous trend has been increasing rapidly in the last several years. The incidence of heart attacks is increasing rapidly due to wrong lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, smoking, and alcohol. It has become very important to protect against this. Heart attack is a dangerous condition, in which most people lose their lives. However, if the patient gets immediate medical help after a heart attack, his life can be saved. We will know from the cardiologist what people should do after a heart attack and how life can be saved.
According to Dr. Vivek Tandon, Additional Director, Department of Cardiology, Fortis Hospital, Greater Noida, taking the patient to the hospital within the first 60 minutes of a heart attack can save his life. The 60 minutes after a heart attack are called the 'golden hour'. This time is important to start treatment rapidly. After a heart attack, the heart muscles start dying within 80-90 minutes due to lack of blood.
If treatment is not started during this period, the heart gets completely damaged within the next six hours. People die due to this. The sooner the blood supply is restored after a heart attack, the less damage will be caused to the heart and other organs. After a heart attack, the patient should be immediately taken to the hospital for treatment, but if cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is given to the patient immediately after the heart attack, it doubles the chances of survival for the patient.
Such people are at greater risk of heart attack.
According to Dr. Vivek Shama, Associate Consultant, Department of Cardiology, Fortis Hospital, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the most common heart diseases, and the risk of death due to it is very high. Diabetic patients are at higher risk of coronary artery disease. According to some studies conducted in the country, there are 272 heart patients per one lakh population in India.
What is even more worrying is that people are becoming victims of heart disease at an early age. It is very important for people to understand that they should stay fit, take a proper diet, do light exercise, and stay away from smoking and alcohol. Apart from people who smoke and consume alcohol or lead a sedentary lifestyle, people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung fibrosis are more likely to develop heart disease.
