Medical Video: BODY WARNS ONE MONTH BEFORE A HEART ATTACK – WARNING SIGNS YOU MUST KNOW
Maybe some of you are thinking what is safe if you do the heart ring installation, or even actually can increase the risk of getting a heart attack again. Well, it might be confusing but don't worry. Check out the reviews below to make you understand more about the things that need to be considered after attaching a heart ring.
What is a heart ring and a heart attack?
Heart attack is a condition when oxygen-rich blood flow suddenly cannot pass through blood vessels in the heart muscle. Usually this condition is caused by blood vessels experiencing blockages. If the condition is not returned quickly, the part of the heart muscle will start to die.
Well, one way to overcome this is by installing a heart ring. Heart ring or cardiac stent is a small device that is inserted into the coronary arteries in the part that is blocked. The blockage generally comes from the formation of plaque (plaque from fat or cholesterol piles, called atherosclerosis).
With a ring attached, the blood vessels that are closed due to plaque can be reopened so that the blood supply can return smoothly and prevent a heart attack.
Keep in mind that the heart blood vessels (coronary arteries) consist of many branches, so that it allows blockages not only to occur in one vessel but also in other blood vessels.
After attaching the ring, is it still possible to experience a heart attack again?
Maybe or not? Of course it's still possible. Because the pairs of heart rings in the heart arteries are not a drug but this is a tool for blood circulation in blocked blood vessels.
As long as the fat level is too high then it clogs another branch of blood vessels, so it is still very possible that a heart attack will occur again.Therefore, if you have used a heart ring but are not followed by a healthy lifestyle, the chances of a subsequent heart attack are still large.
There are various factors that can affect this condition starting from high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and also excessive body weight can influence the possibility of whether someone will experience a heart attack again after attaching the ring.
Occasionally, a heart attack occurs due to ring mounting
Reported in National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute people who use the heart ring may have blood clots around the location of the heart ring installed.
This blood clot can become a blockage which then makes a heart attack, stroke or other serious problems. The risk of blood clots forming occurs most often in the first few months after the ring is installed.
That's why doctors generally recommend that you take aspirin and blood thinning drugs like clopidogril. These drugs prevent blood clots from occurring.
The length of time you need to take anti-clotting drugs depends on the type of ring you attach and your health condition. There are also people recommended to always take the drug throughout his life.
Although the heart ring is thought to increase the risk of blood clots, studies have not proven that this ring will increase the chances of a heart attack or death if used as recommended.
If the part of the vein that has been installed in the ring has another blockage causing a heart attack, you need another action, namely bypass surgery.
The ringing of the heart that has been done, also does not rule out the possibility that in the other parts of the blood vessels the blockage will occur to trigger a heart attack. It all depends on lifestyle.
What should be done to maintain a healthy heart that has used the ring?
