CAUSES
-
CHD is a condition in which the major blood vessels that supply the heart get clogged with deposits of cholesterol, known as plaques (БЛЯШКИ)
Before a heart attack, 1 of the plaques bursts (ruptures), causing a blood clot to develop at the site of the rupture.
The clot may block the supply of blood to the heart, triggering a heart attack.
COMPLICATIONS
arrhythmias – these are abnormal heartbeats. 1 type is where the heart begins beating faster and faster, then stops beating (cardiac arrest)
cardiogenic shock – where the heart's muscles are severely damaged and can no longer contract properly to supply enough blood to maintain many body functions
heart rupture – where the heart's muscles, walls or valves split apart (rupture)
While waiting for an ambulance, it may help to chew and then swallow a tablet of aspirin (ideally 300mg)
