Silent Heart Attack: Symptoms
Dr. Romeo Majano, Cardiovascular Specialist with Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, says 20% of patients can exhibit a silent heart attack which means either they did not have symptoms or they had them but were not noticed until the EKG reveals them.https://www.facebook.com/allhealthtv/ …https://twitter.com/allhealthtv https://www.instagram.com/allhealthtv/ https://open.spotify.com/show/0afchdo …https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast …https://allhealthtv.com/

3.27 -> > You have that silent heart attack you
don't feel any symptoms in that case
7.74 -> what is going on?
> Well 20% of patients can exhibit a
12.869 -> silent heart attack which means either
they did not have symptoms at all or
18.83 -> they had once we start questioning them
once we see that they've had a heart
25.11 -> attack in their EKG and they're come to
our offices or to our Hospital they tell
29.13 -> us "oh doctor
four years ago I had this really night
32.43 -> bad night of heartburn and chest
sensation I took some tums it went away
37.38 -> and maybe that was their heart attack" So
yes we do see patients with silent heart
44.1 -> attacks unfortunately we also see
patients with the ultimate type of bad
50.19 -> heart attack which is sudden death. >
So wanted to ask you sometimes we see
53.94 -> these in movies or you see a commercial
and that person kind of clenches their
57.63 -> heart they just kind of fall over and
that's it there's none of the symptoms
61.32 -> that we had discussed earlier, and that's
what you refer to as a sudden heart
64.199 -> attack? > A sudden death is sudden... sudden
death and when someone has a heart
69.869 -> attack or a blocked artery like we
showed in the in the diagram a lot of
74.249 -> things can happen. The best thing that
can happen is that you have symptoms of
79.049 -> chest pain, just pressure you take an
aspirin, you call 9-1-1, you come to the
83.219 -> hospital, and we open your artery up in
less than 60 minutes which is our
87.319 -> American College of Cardiology mandated
goal nice but if that does not occur
94.2 -> there's two things that can kill you
from a heart attack.
96.929 -> One is that the damage is so extensive
that you get pump failure, I mean there's
102.209 -> so much muscle that is damaged and it's
not pumping that you go into heart
106.289 -> failure and eventually cardiac arrest,
but the other most common reason that
110.999 -> people die of a heart attack is
arrhythmias. When there is an occluded
116.279 -> artery and it could be a small artery or
a big artery, you can go into ventricular
121.169 -> fibrillation
which essentially is it's the heart
124.109 -> stops beating and just fib relates and
that's equal to death, and that's when
128.009 -> you see those those people that that
just said they could say that fall over
132 -> that you see in the in the movies.
Well they could be falling over just
135.09 -> because they're they're dizzy and their
blood pressure
137.19 -> drops but if they develop one of these
lethal arrhythmias, if there is not
143.42 -> defibrillator clothes or CPR to be
administered that that is sudden death
148.83 -> essentially.
