Although approximately 25 percent of people who have a heart attack die prior to obtaining medical assistance, if a person is fortunate enough to survive the first aspect of the attack, what treatments can be used to reduce heart damage and improve the health of the individual?
What will be an ideal response?
The cause of angina pectoris is diagnosed by a variety of imaging procedures, including coronary angiography and
PET scans. Angina is caused by temporary insufficiency of the blood supply to the heart whenever the workload
increases. Coronary ischemia is caused when blood vessels are partially or completely blocked by plaque, a fatty
deposit in the wall of a coronary vessel. This reduces the blood flow, and spasms in the smooth muscles of the blood
vessel wall can reduce it further or cause a blockage of the vessel.
