Heart Attack Care in Lakewood

Having a heart attack can be a wake-up call to those Elderly and Senior individuals who haven’t taken precautions to preventing a heart attack. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, obesity, and lack of exercise can contribute greatly to having a heart attack.

A heart attack, also known as myocardial infarction, usually occurs when clotting of a coronary artery prevents oxygen-rich blood flow to a certain part of the heart muscle. After a heart attack, the affected part of the heart muscle scars and a certain amount of pumping ability can be lost because the scarred tissue loses elasticity.

For heart attack survivors, eating healthily, exercising, taking doctor prescribed medications, and managing pre-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and diabetes can greatly help to reduce the risk of having another heart attack.
