EZO – Flashback Heart Attack.
Can you have a heart attack with no previous signs?
Say a middle age man went on a roller coaster, and he’s had no previous heart troubles. Could he get so scared and have a heart attack? Or would he need to have had previous heart conditions for a heart attack to occur?
yes he could have a heart attack, basically through the raised blood pressure of the ride, though highly unlikely. He would, had he actually have a heart attack have ongoing health issues he wasnt even aware of yet such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure. Any concerns such as this should be taken seriously and checked out asap
Is is possible that a heart attack triggered by an angiograom is malpractice?
I know a man who had a mild heart attack and then went for an angiogram. During the angiogram the Cardiologist tried to insert a stent which loosened up the plaque blockage which flowed into a smaller artery and caused another heart attack.. Has anyone else heard of this sort of thing happening?
it happens all the time, one of the known risks to angiograms, and if your friend signed the consent and actually read it, he would have known that was a possibility and he has no legal ground for suit.
Simple Steps To Lower Heart Attack Risk
Cardiovascular disease is the country’s leading cause of death, likely because Americans are not doing a very good job of reducing their risk of having a heart attack. Channel 4 Action News anchor Sally Wiggin said there are a few simple steps that you can do to help yourself prevent a heart attack.

Can L-Arginine increase your risk of heart attack even if you have not already had a heart attack?
I’ve read that if you have had a heart attack, taking L-Arginine supplements will increase your chances of having and dying from another heart attack. But what about people who have not yet had a heart attack, but have the precursors of a heart attack, such as high cholesterol, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, etc.? Does supplementing with L-Arginine increase their risk also?
To answer Scottsdalehigh64’s question, I’ve read on several websites that L-Arginine supplementation helps with circulation problems, which I think I have. Also, as you mentioned, I do eat well, exercise, etc.
Below you will find links to a couple of scientific papers on this subject.
There is a large body of scientific evidence that L-Arginine supplementation has potentially positive benefits in patients with cardiovascular disease. L-Arginine is the precursor for the synthesis of Nitric Oxide by the three enzymes called Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS). Endothelial NOS (eNOS) is the form of the enzyme that produces Nitric Oxide in the lining of the arteries (the endothelium) where it is VITAL for vascular health and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
As the attached links indicate, the level of ADMA – Asymmetric Dimethylarginine in the patient may determine whether or not L-Arginine supplements are beneficial.
The one scientific paper that reported a possible increased risk of heart attack in patients supplemented with L-Arginine was a terribly done and poorly reported (dishonest) study that has been completely "debunked" (1) by one of the world’s leading researchers in this field – Louis Ignarro, M.D. (recipient of the Nobel Prize in 1998 for his research on Nitric Oxide). One BAD study does not make "truth".

It is also important to understand that the cofactor for NOS is tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), and levels of this cofactor can impact the ability of the enzyme to convert L-Arginine to Nitric Oxide. Numerous studies indicate that maintaining the high levels of BH4 needed in the body to make Nitric Oxide requires adequate amounts of Vitamin C and Folate – and, supplementation of these micronutrients can significantly affect endothelial health and Nitric Oxide production.

Best wishes and good luck.
p.s. one additional point: vegetable proteins (e.g. soy) are high in Arginine content (meat proteins are much lower). Thus, Vegetarians "naturally" have a higher intake of L-Arginine than meat eaters. It is interesting that Vegetarians have a much lower risk of cardiovascular disease than meat eaters, and some researchers have hypothesized that this difference in amino acid content of the diets may be a factor.
heart attack in 3D
animation of a heart attackHow do you tell the difference in a heart attack & a stroke?
And angina pains?
I lost my husband due to a massive heart attack years ago, & I thought heart disease could be detected these days better than it was then.
I am somewhat of a band aid nurse, & I thought I knew some things about health, but I’ve learned lately due to a friend,that sometimes it masks itself & you cannot tell.
How can you tell if you have heart trouble? Is there anyone out there that has dealt with this? I thought that heart trouble was diagnosed easier than it was 10 years ago.
Thank you.
A heart attack is when blood vessels that supply blood to the heart are blocked, preventing enough oxygen from getting to the heart. The heart muscle dies or becomes permanently damaged. Your doctor calls this a myocardial infarction.
A stroke is an interruption of the blood supply to any part of the brain. A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack."
A stroke can happen when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. This is called an ischemic stroke.
Hemorrhagic stroke involves bleeding within the brain, which damages nearby brain tissue.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is bleeding in the area between the brain and the thin tissues that cover the brain. This area is called the subarachnoid space
What can cause a massive heart attack or stroke?
And why is there no symptoms ? If you have a massive heart attack or stroke do you feel any thing ?
If you over weight , not eating healthy , no exercise ,bad food , junk food and just gone to doctor to get test done on your heart can you still have a massive heart attack or stroke?
The term "massive heart attack" is often wrongly used in the media to describe sudden death. .
It occurs within minutes after symptoms appear. The most common underlying reason for patients to die suddenly from cardiac arrest is coronary heart disease (fatty buildups in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle).
There are two types of massive stroke. An ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke, and happens when a clot develops in an artery that supplies the brain with blood.
The second type of stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, is caused by bleeding inside the brain. This may be the result of long-term high blood pressure or a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.
A simple way to diagnose cardiac abnormalities is by having an electrocardiogram (ECG) test which records the electrical signals from the heart.
In patients with acute stroke, only one in eight have a warning from a prior transient ischemic attack, according to a study published in the September issue of Neurology.
It’s possible that the blood vessels in people with warning strokes were "preconditioned to the lack of blood flow, which protected them from the full damage caused by the larger stroke.
The same can be said for heart attack without warning.
Heart patient helps others
Nearly 40 percent of all heart attacks are the deadlest types – patients have complete blockage of blood flow to the heart. An Austin man survived such a heart attack and is telling his story, in hopes of helping others survive too.

What is the difference between a heart attack and a heart seizure?
I was just reading an article about Florence Griffith Joyner who died in 1998 and it lists her cause of death as a heart seizure. What’s the difference between that and a heart attack?
Heart attack and heart seizure are general laymen terms that are frequently used interchangeably and can describe a broad spectrum of heart related conditions. Sudden death caused by a heart problem is usually related to an arrhythmia, a severe disturbance of the electrical triggering of heart muscle without warning and sometimes with no prior symptoms. The heart ceases its normal pumping action and chaotically spasms. This could be more accurately labeled as a heart "seizure". If the individual is already in a hospital setting they may be saved by quick action with a defibrillator. (the " charge" and "clear" shouts you hear in a TV medical drama when they zap the patients chest.)
A heart "attack" more often refers to the condition brought about by a blockage of an artery that feeds blood to heart muscle. The medical terms for the myriad heart conditions are more accurate and may require a bit of explaining to the average individual. Anytime the heart stops pumping for whatever reason, it could be called a "heart attack" while not technically accurate the end result may be the same.
