angina pectoris. The pain is caused by the shortage of blood to the heart muscles. With this form of coronary heart disease there is no death of the muscle tissue. If the arteries become completely blocked by a thrombus‚ this will cause a myocardial infarction‚ more commonly known as a heart attack. During a heart attack the lack of oxygen being pumped to the heart causes the heart muscle to die‚ and can also be fatal. Although many people survive with immediate medical attention. The other type

Classification of atrial fibrillation begins with differentiating a first detectable episode‚ irrespective of whether it is symptomatic or self-limited. Published guideline from an America College of Cardiology (ACC)‚ America Heart Association (AHA) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommend classification of AF into the following 3 patterns; Paroxysmal AF - Paroxysmal AF – Episodes of AF that terminate spontaneously within 7 days‚ Persistent AF - Episodes of AF that last more than 7 days

A heart attack is also known as a myocardial infarction. A heart attack is when a part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies because it is not receiving oxygen. A heart attack is the death of heart muscle and it is caused by a sudden block of a coronary artery by a blood clot. Coronary arteries are blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen. Causing injury to the heart muscle can cause chest main and pressure. If blood flow is not restored within 20 to 40 minutes permanent

It is most commonly seen in the left ventricle but can lead to right ventricular failure‚ a condition called biventricular failure. A large myocardial infarction can generally lead to ventricular failure. It will decrease contractility‚ alter chamber compliance‚ and create abnormal wall motion. The decrease in contractility

appear to be complex and multifactorial. Both traditional and nontraditional risk factors potentially contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk. There is a need for heightened awareness of the increased risk for silent ischemia‚ early myocardial infarction‚ and sudden death (4). The underlying cause of ischaemic heart disease (IHD)‚ appears to be accelerated in patients with RA. The reason for this may be related to clustering of classical cardiac risk factors such as dyslipidaemia‚ a prothrombotic
