The number of heart patients in India is very high and nowadays this disease is spreading among the youth as well, but sometimes people who look fit are also falling prey to it. For some time, many celebrities have lost their lives due to heart attacks, including the names of Siddharth Shukla, Puneeth Rajkumar, and Singer KK. If a person around you suddenly gets a heart attack, then what would be the right thing to do in such a situation so that his life can be saved, let us know about it in detail.
What is heart attack?
When there is a sudden obstruction in the supply of blood in our arteries, then this condition is called a heart attack. This blockage is actually due to the formation of a blood clot in the coronary artery. Due to this the supply of blood to the heart stops and there is severe pain in the chest.
What should be done after having a heart attack?
In the year 2022, when the postmortem of Singer KK took place after his death, the doctor told him that he had many blockages in the arteries of his heart and that if he was given CPR on time, his life could have been saved. In case of a heart attack, the patient should be immediately taken to the hospital, if medical help is not available nearby, then start giving CPR to the patient.
What is CPR after all?
CPR is called Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, in which pressure is applied to the chest of the unconscious patient, and artificial breaths are given so that there is no shortage of oxygen in the lungs. Due to this, a person's life can be saved in case of heart attack and shortness of breath. CPR is considered a medical therapy given in case of emergency. This is a tried and tested method which has saved the lives of people who often suffer from breathing problems.
Angioplasty will save a life
Usually, angioplasty or bypass surgery is done for heart attack patients. This is a process of cardiology in which the blockages of the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscles are opened by removing them. In many cases, stents are also inserted in the coronary arteries of patients so that there is no problem in blood flow.
