Why Young Age Can a Heart Attack? |Lately deaths from heart attacks are increasingly being found. On
Friday (22/03/2013) yesterday, the singer famous sports presenter,
Ricky Jo, died at the relatively young age of a heart attack. What causes a heart attack can cause death and why it is now being experienced by their young?
The specialist heart and blood vessels Cardiac Hospital Harapan Kita Jakarta Baraas Faisal said the narrowing of the coronary arteries of heart who have a major role why the sudden death occurred. Narrowing of blood vessels can be caused by plaque that forms due to deposition of cholesterol in the blood is too high."Narrowing of the coronary arteries, if it reaches 80 percent, meaning that only 20 percent are able to pass the blood, causing blood to coagulate or clot. Yag so that no blood can pass into the heart," said Faisal Kompas.com when contacted on Saturday (23 / 3/2013).
Constriction of blood vessels, he added, regardless of age. Therefore, although still young, the narrowing of blood vessels can occur if a person has a risk factor so that it becomes more susceptible to heart attacks.
Heart attack, continued Faisal, may not be preceded by any previous symptoms. "Generally there before symptoms such as chest pain and tightness, but may not preceded by symptoms," he said.

Risk factors
Faisal explains, there are two risk factors of sudden death associated with heart disease. The first is a factor that can not be changed, and the second is a factor that can be changed.
Factors that can not be changed composed of heredity or genetic factors, age, and gender. The magnitude of each of these factors in influencing the risk of heart disease different for each person.
"For genetic factors, depending on the levels of lipoproteins in the blood. Increasingly powerful genetic factors influencing when kada high protein., And the higher levels of this protein, the higher the risk of heart attack," said Faisal.
The age factor also can not be avoided. The older a person, the elasticity of blood vessels would be reduced. While the gender factor, said Faisal, men are more prone to clot than women.
"Women have estrogen hormones that prevent narrowing of blood vessels," he said.
In addition, there are factors that can be changed are related to lifestyle. Habits such as smoking, lack of exercise, have high cholesterol, diabetes, and stress are some risk factors that can be changed.

Strenuous exercise can trigger
Faisal added that blood clots are often no specific symptoms, so many people do not realize that if he already has a blockage. If there are congestion, cardiac performance may be impaired. Strenuous exercise can be very dangerous because it can trigger a heart attack.
Strenuous exercise, light Faisal, requires fast blood flow thus making the heart work harder. When blood clots occur when blood vessels pass through the narrows, the blood flows more slowly. Yet when strenuous exercise takes blood flow quickly. This is what can lead to sudden death.
To prevent a heart attack, need to avoid risk factors. You really can just let go and pray to factors that can not be changed, but the pursuit of optimal for factors that can be changed is still to do.
Things to do, according to Faisal, among others, by maintaining a healthy diet that is low in fat and low in salt. Later, mild to moderate exercise, but regularly, and avoid smoking and alcohol.
"If you have diabetes or high cholesterol, then there should be a treatment to reduce the risk of heart attack," he said.
