The pre-infarction condition can only be distinguished from the infarction by a doctor. But when it is necessary to consult a specialist, each of us should know. So what are the most common symptoms of a pre-infarction state and which of them are a signal for an urgent medical consultation?
Pre-infarct conditionstands for angina. As cholesterol builds up in the walls of your blood vessels gradually narrowing their lumen, less blood flows through them. This reduces the blood supply to the heart, which receives much less oxygen and nutrients.
A heart attack occurs when the lumen of the vessel is completely and suddenly closed, and the blood flow through the coronary vessels is completely blocked, which leads to cell necrosis and the release of the so-called heart attack markers - troponin.
The symptoms of pre-infarction and myocardial infarction are similar, but have different dynamics.The former may appear even for some time, and the characteristic is that they often appear during exercise when less blood flows through the constricted vessels, which is not enough to supply the heart with the right amount of oxygen and other nutrients needed at times when energy requirements are greater.
They also usually go away when you are resting or after taking medication. Nevertheless, the symptoms of a pre-infarction state always require urgent medical consultation - if ignored, they can be very dangerous.
