Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that bring blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. When blood cannot reach part of your heart, that area starves for oxygen. If the blockage continues long enough, cells in the affected area die.
Coronary heart disease (CHD)is the most common underlying cause of a heart attack. CHD, also called coronary artery disease, is the hardening and narrowing of the coronary arteries caused by the buildup of plaque inside the walls of the arteries. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis. This may result in mandatory visits to the hospital.
Luckily, there's a lot that can be done about this. Heart disease and heart attacks are largely due to bad lifestyle choices. A-1 Home Care has heart attack caregivers who can prepare healthy, low calorie meals and assist with daily exercise to help stave away any nasty hospital visits.
