Heart Attack
A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is interrupted, which damages the tissue from lack of oxygen. It is a medical emergency.
Warning signs:
- Chest pain or pressure, which may radiate to the arm, neck, or jaw
- Shortness of breath
- Cold sweating, nausea, or dizziness
When to seek help? If a heart attack is suspected, the right thing to do is to request emergency care immediately, since time is decisive.
Which specialist treats it? In the acute moment, emergency care is involved, and the cardiologist, along with the cardiovascular surgeon when appropriate, provides the subsequent follow-up. Recognizing the signs and acting quickly in the face of a heart attack saves lives.
