Severe Heart Attacks

Severe Heart Attacks    

Heart attacks are a very Severe heart condition that ‘attack’ suddenly. They can be characterized by a spectrum of chest pains and discomfort as well as sweating, vomiting, and nausea. Sometimes these symptoms can even result in a complete loss of consciousness. Heart attacks occur when the blood supply to a part of the heart is interrupted. This interruption causes both death and scarring of the tissue in the local area of the heart.

 Due to the fact that the interruption can vary in size, as can the area that is affected. Large or small, heart attacks are serious and often life-threatening. Deemed as such they are a medical emergency which needs immediate attention from an emergency medical service. Staying on top of heart attack symptoms as well as the combination of complete medical history, blood tests and ECG findings are what make up the diagnosis for heart attacks.

 In recovery, the most important thing is restoring the flow of blood back to the area of the heart that has been interrupted. This is achieved through thrombolysis and/or angioplasty. Thrombolysis is a procedure in which the clot is dissolved in the artery enzymatically. Angioplasty is the procedure in which a balloon is used to push open the artery.

 Great importance is placed on monitoring for various complications, that could prevent a secondary heart attack. Through this monitoring, work is done to help eliminate any risk factors that may exist, which helps to reduce the odds of further heart attacks.

Products for Black Women May Disrupt Hormones

 Many black women use a plethora of  hair care  products that contain chemicals that can interfere with their hormones, researchers warn. They noted these chemicals could be a reason why black women have higher rates of certain  hormone -related health conditions than other women in the United States. For example, black women begin  puberty  at younger ages, and they have higher rates of hormone-linked problems such as preterm birth,  uterine fibroids  and  infertility  than other groups of women. Their rates of  breast cancer  and endometrial cancer are also on the rise, according to the scientists at Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Mass. "Chemicals in hair products, and beauty products in general, are mostly untested and largely unregulated," said study author Jessica Helm. "This study is a first step toward uncovering what harmful substances are in products frequently used by black women, so we can better und...
