A heart attack is a serious and life-threatening condition caused by problems with the circulation of blood to the heart. Since the Kovid-19 epidemic, the risk of heart disease in people is seen increasing rapidly. Health experts say corona infection along with disturbances in lifestyle and diet has greatly increased the risks of heart disease in people, so even young people are falling prey to heart attacks.
If CPR and other treatments are available on time after a heart attack, the patient's life can be saved. Although surviving life does not mean that you have become completely healthy. After a heart attack, many types of changes start coming into the body, which needs to be taken care of seriously.
Many more heart problems can increase
If you have recovered from a heart attack, then you need to take extra care of your heart. Heart attacks, in most cases, result from either an immediate blockage of an artery or a long-standing blockage. As a result, the supply of nutrients and blood to the heart muscle may continue to be disrupted even after a heart attack. This can increase the risk of problems like irregular heartbeat, and weakness of the heart muscle.
The problem of brain aging starts increasing
Recent research has shown that rapid mental health decline after a heart attack can be equivalent to brain status 6 years later. The study, published in JAMA Neurology, specifically examined the effects of a heart attack on the normal process of brain aging. As people age, their thinking ability, memory, and ability to concentrate begin to decline. This risk increases rapidly after a heart attack.
What did the study find?
Researchers have linked cognitive disorders to cardiovascular problems such as heart attack and stroke. Heart attack participants were at increased risk of early decline in thinking memory and ability to concentrate compared to other people. This risk has been seen to be even higher in women with heart attacks than in men.
Life expectancy may decrease
After a heart attack, many problems in your vessels increase along with the heart, which can reduce your life expectancy. Researchers say that after a heart attack, life expectancy can be reduced by 8-10% as compared to normal people. For example, a heart attack can reduce life expectancy by 10%, or 8.5 years, for a person without heart disease who dies around age 85, although many other factors play a role...
