The heart’s main function as we know, is
to pump blood around the body. Blood
carries nutrients and waste products
and is vital to life. One of the crucial
nutrients found in blood is oxygen. But
did you know that despite the crucial role
the heart plays, not many people know
enough about the way it functions, or
how to keep it healthy, and why it
can lead to instant death.
How does it
happen?
First, we need to
understand how
it is triggered.
Sudden cardiac
death (SCD)
is a sudden,
unexpected
death caused
by a change in
heart rhythm
says webmed. It
is the largest cause
of natural death
in the U.S., causing
about 325,000 adult
deaths in the U.S. each
year. SCD is responsible
for half of all heart disease
deaths. According to this report, heart
attacks occur when there is a blockage in
one or more of the arteries to the heart,
preventing the heart from receiving
enough oxygen-rich blood. If the oxygen
in the blood cannot reach the heart
muscle, the heart becomes damaged.
Heart attack can also happen as a result of
a detachment of blood flow in the heart’s
arteries. You can either feel pain near your
chest, and at times because of diabetes,

you may have silent heart attacks when
you don’t even feel it coming.
So what should you look out for? (The
diabetes factor)
Another factor is diabetes. Type 2
diabetes can affect you in several ways.
You need to protect yourself, so you
should learn about the kinds of heart
diseases that are linked to diabetes and
the warning signs to watch for. Coronary
heart disease is the most common type
of heart disease in people with diabetes.
When you get this condition, your
arteries get a buildup of (plaque) a fatty,
waxy substance. This substance increases
and eventually stiffens your arteries and
reduces room for blood flow so your heart
does not get enough oxygen… explains
webmed. The clumps formed by
plaques can burst and give room
for blood clots in your vessels.
This according to webmed
can result in conditions like
angina, which makes you
feel pain in your chest
or other parts of your
body, or like you have
indigestion. You could
also get Arrhythmias,
when your heart can beat
unevenly and in a worst
case scenario, your heart
beat can stop.
