Hey everyone! Did you know that every year, approximately 356,000 people in the U.S. experience sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital? That’s a shocking statistic and it shows just how serious heart health can be.

According to the World Health Organization, 17.9 million people globally die from heart disease each year, with most cases occurring in developing countries. In Pakistan, heart disease is the second leading cause of death. While heart attacks were once more common among the elderly, even young people are now at risk.

Heart attacks strike suddenly and swiftly, often leaving no time for medication or intervention. Without immediate medical attention, severe heart attacks can be fatal. Unfortunately, many people lack basic knowledge about heart attack symptoms, which leads to early warning signs being overlooked.

This ignorance results in wasting critical time that could save lives. The first heart attack is usually abrupt. If severe, it blurs the line between life and death as the patient's condition rapidly changes. Those present often panic, unsure of what to do, as diagnosis and medical assistance are rarely available at the time and place of the attack.

Often, neither the patient nor their companions realize it's a heart attack. However, with precautions, affected individuals can lead normal lives. The circulatory system is vital for life. When heart arteries are blocked, the blood supply to that heart region is cut off, leading to tissue death.

Medically, this is termed a heart attack. If blood flow is reduced, it causes heart pain known as angina. Heart attacks involve blood clots in the heart’s arteries, and can also lead to strokes. Typically, one of the heart's three major arteries or branches is blocked, causing the affected heart tissue to die.

Blood clots may form in multiple arteries or branches. When clots occur in large arteries, the affected area dies immediately, posing a serious threat. Gradual clotting causes initial pain in the heart. Common heart attack symptoms include chest tightness or heaviness, and swelling spreading to arms, neck, or back.

Pain may radiate to the chest's center or left arm. Blood pressure drops, pulse quickens, and skin becomes yellowish. Restlessness, nausea, and excessive sweating are also common. Modern research indicates heart attack pain lasts over half an hour, spreading to the left side, followed by heavy sweating.

Without prompt medical aid, this pain can escalate to a heart attack. If the hospital is far, immediate help is difficult, lowering survival chances to 3-8%. However, with quick medical attention, survival odds improve. Angina is more likely during physical exertion, emotional stress, and extreme temperatures.

Risk factors include high blood fat, obesity, hypertension, and smoking. Having three of these increases heart attack risk sevenfold compared to normal individuals. Women have lower rates than men. Angina is diagnosed through blood tests and angiography, which uses a treadmill to simulate varying activity levels.

A specific tablet placed under the tongue can provide quick relief from angina pain, though it's a temporary solution. Regular use of certain Unani medicine practices can lead to improvement. Consuming a mix of green mint, fresh ginger, and kirpan leaf boiled in water can be beneficial over one to two months.

Boiling brinjal with garlic and drinking it daily is another remedy. Following this regimen for several months often clears artery blockages. Hamdard ki gar Lina, Dil Sikh, and Khamira Abresham Hakim Arshadwala are also known to strengthen the heart and can be used by the general public.

According to the World Heart Federation, 80% of heart disease deaths can be prevented by adopting a healthier lifestyle. Greek/Oriental medicine experts recommend avoiding obesity, as excess weight burdens the heart. Weight management through diet can reduce heart disease risk.

Incorporate foods high in fiber and low in fat into your diet. Focus on consuming fruits and vegetables. Minimize salt intake as much as possible. Quit smoking completely. Research indicates that smokers have a heart attack risk three times higher than non-smokers. Hence, it's wiser to prevent this condition. Engage in regular exercise. Those who are inactive, lounge around all day, and consume too many chicken products are more susceptible to heart attacks.

Exercise should be tailored to your age and physical condition. Physical activity not only aids in weight management but also helps in preventing heart disease. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that can block and narrow blood vessels. It is naturally present in the bloodstream. Foods rich in saturated fats and oils elevate blood cholesterol levels. Excess cholesterol obstructs blood vessels' inner surfaces, causing narrowing. By altering your diet and opting for simpler foods, cholesterol levels can be managed.

Be cautious with fatty foods; opt for vegetable oil and decrease the consumption of starchy foods and sugar. Maintain oral hygiene, as gum disease can lead to high blood pressure. Angina and heart attacks are emergencies where even a brief delay can be fatal, so take precautions seriously.
