The specialists at this hospital recommend a screening examination to spot an issue before serious problems arise. “The goal of screening is to detect heart disease at its earliest and most treatable stage,” stated one of the cardiologists from Bay Area Regional. Since the heart is the engine that drives the body, blood would not be able to circulate, and other vital organs would not receive the oxygen and nutrients they need in order to work properly.
Risk factors include, high blood pressure or hypertension, Diabetes, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, family history of heart disease and obesity.
Although, the risk factors are similar for both sexes, it is vital that men and women know how to recognize the symptoms based on their gender. Men tend to experience tightness in their chest and discomfort or pain in their chest or arms. Women, on the other hand, may experience nausea or vomiting, lethargy and some jaw or back pain. These symptoms are quite different from the stereotypical representations of heart attacks in the media, especially for women.
Knowing how to recognize these symptoms can prevent excessive damage to the organ. Even though the heart muscle will begin to heal after eight weeks, scar tissue may form in the damaged area and will not be able to pump the blood as well as the healthy tissue.
Bay Area Regional Medical professionals are ready to assist you or your family members, whether it is an emergency or just a check-up. Walk-ins are welcome; there is no need for an appointment.
