Every year, millions of people die because they do not seek immediate medical help during a heart attack. Noteworthy is the heart attack is a medical emergency. In this situation, the race against heart muscle damage due to loss of blood supply.
In a medical guide book issued Mayo Clinic stated that stress or squeeze on the chest is the main symptom of heart attack. Heart attacks can also occur suddenly or be preceded an attack of angina (chest tightness). The pain caused can be permanent or intermittent. However, pain that lasts longer or severe chest or upper abdomen should not be ignored.
If you or someone else having a heart attack, then immediately contact a hospital that has a heart treatment facilities. According to Dr. Muhammad Munawar, JP Sp (K), a cardiologist from Binawaluya Heart Hospital, East Jakarta, heart patients should receive medical help for less than six hours since the attack.
Every minute that passes makes the more muscle tissue deprived of oxygen become damaged or die. If blood flow can be restored, the heart damage can be prevented or restricted.
Basically, there are two main treatment in patients with heart attacks. "The first is the administration of drugs thrombolysis to open clot and restore blood flow. When given less than three hours after the attack, then the result is very good," said Dr. Munawar.
Handling the second is to do percutanous intervension coronary (PCI) or percutaneous coronary intervention to dilate narrowed blood vessels. PCI is performed immediately after heart attack is called primary PCI. "The success of these measures reached 95 percent when performed no more than 95 minutes from the time of heart attack," added Dr. Munawar.
