An estimated 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, representing 32% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attack and stroke. Over three quarters of CVD deaths take place in low- and middle-income countries. In country like in India, where the most of the people are in between low to middle income, the rate of heart attack is increasing day by day.
A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is severely reduced or blocked. The blockage is usually due to a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances in the heart (coronary) arteries. The fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits are called plaques. Sometimes, a plaque can rupture and form a clot that blocks blood flow. A lack of blood flow can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle.
Symptoms of heart attack may vary from person to person. Some might have mild or some might have severe leading to death. Common heart attack symptoms include: Chest pain that may feel like pressure, tightness, pain, squeezing or aching, Pain or discomfort that spreads to the shoulder, arm, back, neck, jaw, teeth or sometimes the upper belly, Cold sweat, Fatigue, Heartburn or indigestion, Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness, Nausea, Shortness of breath.
As heart attack being the most life threatening disease, the management and treatment is essential in early stage of the disease. Treatment of heart attack with homoeopathic medicine has shown great improvement in patients suffering from heart attack. The case of heart attack can be managed well by exercising, low cholesterol diet, and optimum body weight. Homoeopathic treatment not helps in reducing heart attack but also helps in curing underlying cause of the disease.
