Heart Attack
A heart attack is an emergency that occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is interrupted, so recognizing its signs and acting immediately is essential.
Warning signs: pain or pressure in the chest that may spread to the arm, neck, or jaw, sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, or dizziness. With these signs, emergency care should be sought without delay.
What is it? It is injury to the heart muscle caused by a lack of blood supply, generally due to blockage of an artery that nourishes the heart.
Which specialist treats it? In the acute phase, emergency services intervene, and follow-up falls to the cardiologist, with support from the internist. Keeping up with check-ups with a professional helps monitor cardiovascular risk factors.
