Surviving Heart Attack

heart attack
A heart attack is a medical emergency that often requires major surgery and it can take several months to recover from a heart attack completely.
Some medications may still be continued long after the initial attack, to prevent any further attacks occurring. It is also important to maintain any lifestyle changes that have been adopted to reduce the risk of heart attack.

The heart muscle requires a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to nourish it. The coronary arteries provide the heart with this critical blood supply. If you have coronary artery disease, those arteries become narrow and blood cannot flow as well as they should. Fatty matter, calcium, proteins, and inflammatory cells build up within the arteries to form plaques of different sizes. The plaque deposits are hard on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside.
