  1. Heart Attack Symptoms: Chest Pain or Discomfort: Often described as a tightness, pressure, squeezing, or pain in the chest. The sensation may spread to the arms, neck, jaw, back, or stomach. Shortness of Breath: Feeling breathless or having difficulty breathing, even with mild physical activity or at rest. Cold Sweats: Sudden, unexplained sweating, often accompanied by other symptoms. Nausea and Vomiting: Feeling nauseous, possibly followed by vomiting. Lightheadedness or Dizziness: Feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or faint. Risk Factors: Smoking: Tobacco use damages blood vessels and increases the risk of plaque buildup. High Blood Pressure: Uncontrolled hypertension strains the heart and arteries. High Cholesterol: Elevated levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol contribute to plaque formation. Diabetes: Increases the risk of blood vessel damage. Obesity: Excess weight puts strain on the heart and worsens other risk factors. Gender: Men are generally at higher risk, but women's risk increases after menopause. Stress: Chronic stress can contribute to heart health issues. Diagnosis: Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): Records the heart's electrical activity to detect abnormal rhythms or damage. Blood Tests: Measure cardiac enzyme levels released during a heart attack. Echocardiogram: Uses sound waves to create images of the heart's structure and function. Coronary Angiography: Invasive procedure using contrast dye to visualize blockages in coronary arteries. CT Scan or MRI: Provides detailed images of the heart's structure and blood vessels. Treatment: Emergency Medical Care: Call 911 immediately if you suspect a heart attack. Aspirin: Chewing aspirin during a heart attack may help prevent further clotting. Thrombolytic Therapy: Medication to dissolve blood clots and restore blood flow. Coronary Bypass Surgery: Redirects blood flow around blocked arteries using grafts. Medications: Nitroglycerin, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and more to manage symptoms and risk factors. Visit: www.reverehealth.com Call: (801) 429-8000
