In-Home Heart Attack Care in Sherman Oaks

Myocardial Infarction, also known as heart attack, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is temporarily interrupted usually because of an atherosclerotic plaque in a coronary artery that ruptures and causes a blood clot that stops the normal flow of blood to the heart. Heart attacks significantly weaken the heart because heart cells in the damaged area die and the new cells become scar tissue, which isn’t as conductive for electrical impulses as normal heart tissue is.

Heart attacks are usually the product of bad lifestyle choices and pre-existing medical conditions such as obesity, tobacco smoking, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Heart attack survivors must look out for their health and lifestyle choices because they are at greater risk for serious complications such as atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular aneurysm, ventricular tachycardia, mitral regurgitation, or a second heart attack.
