A heart disease occurs when heart muscle is deprived of oxygen, either partially or completely, due to clogged coronary arteries. Without enough oxygen and nutrients, the heart muscle begins to die and becomes dysfunctional, which leads to a heart attack and potential cardiac arrest and eventual death. About every 34 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a heart-attack 1.Understand that sometimes there are very subtle or no warning signs. Some heart-attacks are sudden and intense and provide no warning signs or tell-tale symptoms. However, in most cases, there are at least subtle clues that usually get rationalized or marginalized. Early warning signs of heart disease include high-blood pressure, sensation of chronic heartburn, reduced cardiovascular fitness and a vague feeling of malaise or being unwell. These symptoms may start many days or weeks before the heart-muscle gets damaged enough to become dysfunctional. 2.Recognize some of the less common symptoms of heart attack. In addition to the tell-tale symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath and cold-sweats, there are some less common symptoms characteristic of myocardial infarction that you should be familiar with in order to better gauge the probability of heart-failure. These symptoms include pain or discomfort in other areas of the body, such as the left-arm (or sometimes both), mid-back, front of the neck and/or lower jaw. 3.Call emergency services immediately. Act immediately and call 9-1-1 or other emergency services in your area if you suspect someone is having a heart-attack. Even if they don't display all or even the majority of the signs and symptoms, calling for medical help is the most important action you can take for someone in severe distress. Emergency-medical-services (EMS) can begin treatment as soon as they arrive and are trained to revive someone whose heart has completely stopped. 4.Ask the person if she carries nitroglycerine. People with a history of heart problems and angina (chest and arm pain from heart-disease) are often prescribed nitroglycerine, which is a powerful vasodilator that causes large blood-vessels to relax so more oxygenated blood can reach the heart. Nitroglycerine also reduces the painful symptoms of heart-attack. People often carry their nitroglycerin with them. 5.Administer some aspirin. If you or the heart-attack sufferer has any aspirin, then administer it provided he/she is not younger than 18-years old, give 300-mg aspirin tablet to chew slowly. Aspirin is a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can reduce heart damage by "thinning" the blood, which means preventing it from clotting. Aspirin also reduces associated inflammation and helps reduce the pain of heart-attack. 6.Initiate CPR if the person stops breathing. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) involves chest compressions in order to help push some blood through the arteries (especially to the brain) combined with rescue breathing (mouth to mouth), which provides some oxygen to the lungs. Keep in mind that CPR has its limitations and doesn't usually trigger a heart to start beating again, but it can provide some precious oxygen to the brain and buy some time before emergency services arrive with their electrical-defibrillators.  NOTE: The materials and the information contained on Natural ways channel are provided for general and educational purposes only and do not constitute any legal, medical or other professional advice on any subject matter.
