Heart Attack Symptoms
Atherosclerosis or gradual thickening of the arterial passageways is the leading cause of Heart Attack Symptoms among men and women. Atherosclerosis is essentially a process in which plaques or thin layers of cholesterol (lipids) get deposited along the inner linings of the arteries. This causes gradual but irreversible of hardening of arterial walls. The resulting narrowing of the arteries in turn causes substantial decrease in the supply of oxygenated blood to the heart. The fall in oxygenated blood volume causes gradual necrosis or gradual death of the heart’s muscles, causing typical Heart Attack Symptoms to occur.
Please understand that in medical terminology, the decreased blood supply to heart is also referred to as ‘vascular suffocation’ that underlines the stress induced on the heart due to decreased supply of oxygenated blood.
Many times the Heart Attack Symptoms surface in an unnoticeable manner. As a result, the Heart Attack Symptoms that surface are called silent Heart Attack Symptoms. The decreased blood supply is also called a state of Ischemia. Thus, Heart Attack Symptoms are caused either by silent or visible ischemia.
