Features of Heart Attack and Instant Care

The heart attack is very fatal. The severest danger is the cardiac arrest, i.e., sudden stoppage of the activities of the heart. If this occurs, there is no heart beat and, thus, no pulse. This cardiac arrest is very dangerous because of some reasons. During this mishap, all supply of blood to the organs of the body is stopped. No organ of our body can live without oxygen for few minutes. The brain dies first that time. Within four minutes of such an occurrence, the tissues of the brain start dying. Even though the heart starts beating in the later period, the damage to the brain is already done, more or less, owing to the time span the heart had ceased beating. Within a few moments, the vital nerves fail and also the respiration stops, making the task of revival even more uncertain and difficult.

The remedies are many. They may be divided into primary and secondary remedies. At first, if someone is seen in such a fatal condition, the first job is to revive the heart within 31/2 minutes. In such a small span of time no doctor will be available to attend the patient. The liability of saving the patient only goes to the person present on the spot, if he or she knows the right measure to be taken. After providing the initial course of treatment, then the patient should be taken for coronary artery disease treatment services.

There is an external remedy to follow while a person is under the cardiac arrest. At first, feel the pulse and if there is none, give a firm pressure with your thumb in the middle of the chest. The heart may begin to beat again. If the first attempt fails, try for a second one. Finally, for any type of coronary heart disease treatment, visit the world famous clinic of Dr Lim Ing Haan of Singapore.
