FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2025 25 In last month's Breeze article, we discussed the causes, signs, and symptoms of a heart attack. We learned that coronary heart disease, which occurs when the blood supply to the heart is suddenly interrupted, is a common cause of heart attacks. While chest pain was once thought to be a universal symptom of heart attacks, symptoms may vary based on several factors including gender, age, and health of the individual. We also learned that early response and treatment for a heart attack helps reduce heart muscle damage. SILENT ISCHEMIA, aka "A Silent Heart Attack" A silent heart attack, also called a silent ischemia, is a heart attack which has either no symptoms, minimal symptoms, or unrecognized symptoms. Cardiac ischemia happens when an artery becomes narrowed or blocked for a short period of time, preventing oxygen-rich blood from reaching the heart. If ischemia is severe or lasts too long, it can cause a heart attack. A routine EKG at your doctor's oce may be the rst notication you have had a silent heart attack. Follow-up diagnostic testing is important to help prevent future damage to your heart. Minimal symptoms of a silent heart attack may include: • mild symptoms of indigestion • u-like symptoms • sore chest muscle • prolonged fatigue • ache in your jaw, neck, or arm In comparison to the silent heart attack symptoms, traditional heart attack symptoms include severe chest pain, shortness of breath, light-headedness, cold sweats, nausea, and vomiting. Remember to listen to your body. If something doesn't feel right, seek advice from your health care professional. Know your numbers. Your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and minutes of exercise per day/week are all numbers we should work on. Whether you are a woman or a man, you will reduce your risk of developing heart disease if you: • Know the risk factors for heart disease • Talk to your doctor about cardiovascular screening based on your family history and risk factors • Quit smoking • Exercise daily • Find ways to reduce stress • Maintain a healthy diet CPR classes are not currently being held. However, you may arrange to schedule a CPR class for your club or committee by calling, texting, or emailing A J Reilly to set up a class at (951) 522- 9975 or reilly58@me.com.
