#he has a blocked coronary artery

[bobendsneyder64]

I'm shaking and so scared. Yesterday my dad had a check up with his cardiologist and it was supposed to be a 'you're fine, everything is okay and the medicine are working' check up but instead he told him he was shook after seeing his ECG and that he had to stay in the hospital. Today they did an cardiac catheterization (for the 3rd or 4th time) and they told us it's actually really bad. They can't even do an angioplasty because it's that bad so they have to operate him and now I'm so freaking scared and worried

[dramatic-shitpost-poet]

🦌: hi im back :-) gonna throw headcanons at ya

i love the hc of putty being terrified of needles and hospitals in general. he would force stephanie to come with him on appointments. man would have to be restrained to get a shot. id imagine he just hates the sterile environment and the equipment and just feeling violated.

he would absolutely despise being stuck in a hospital bed and feel so miserable, especially when he had a serious heart surgery. In the first couple of days he would have to be pushed in a wheelchair and feels like a senile old man. he doesn’t like people doing things for him when he can’t do anything to the point when stephanie would have to help him taking his socks off and on.

orel would visit him once in a while and even make him a card or give some kind of gift. steph and orel would help take care of their old man <33

Hey! Nice to see you! I saw your ask this morning and it gave me motivation to finish my cardiology research (which I posted before this!).

I got HCs and info done for Revs that I could do as a separate post but.. I'll do here lol.

Okay, so Revs is very much headcanoned to have heart issues due to his stress and shit diet. A lot of these details including how stress affects the heart and his IBS are discussed in other places. I think around 70s (say.. 72) I think his heart issues come to an all time hgh due to stress, depression, his shitty diet, and general old age weakened. I believe out of the range of heart disorders, he would have one similar most to a heart attack or have blockage issues in his arteries due to said shitty diet and also on and off smoking, both contributing heavy to it. His emotional stress wears him down to the point all his muscles weaken more and this all combines into a myocardia infarction (heart attack).

I would say it's a more survival able one, but he would start experiencing symptoms such as chest pains, shortness of breath, feeling dizzy when moving too fast, and indigestion/his IBS getting worse. He would have these symptoms daily, but not notice or take care of it, simply out of motivational energy issues and a slight fear of going to seek professional help as he is so insecure that reaching for any medical help terrifies him on a phobia level (also embarrassing for him) and like he deserved to suffer, that he will not receive any actual help, and others will see him as more pathetic. This builds up daily and he also does not bother listening or taking note of any arrhythmias as well.

It comes to the heart attack point where I think it'd be early morning on a non-church day and his pain would get so bad that he would call Stephanie for help. She then takes him to a hospital and he probs has a panic attack about it which makes everything WORSE. He goes in and is hooked up to an EKG after being pinned down where it is monitored that he is having a heart attack/the start of one. The doctors then talk to him and Steph a bit before he is told he needs surgery to clear out his arteries. He freaks out MORE, but Stephanie reassures him and he gets a coronary artery blockage removal/bypass (one performed by a cardiac surgeon). The surgery is 3-6 hours roughly.

Coronary artery surgery specifics: the surgeon cuts open the center of the chest and spreads open the rib cage to expose the heart. The heart is then temporarily stopped and the patient is kept alive through a heart-lung machine that acts as his heart and lungs without the action organs moving. The surgeon takes a section of a healthy blood vessel (either heart or leg) and attaches it around the blocked area to create a new pathway of blood flow.

His recovery time would be roughly about 4-5 months and he would be required to be monitored in the hospital for 2 days. Cardiac rehab would also be months long to get you functioning again. During the time in the hospital you will have hourly vitals and temperature checks. Also you might have a breathing tube for a while and there are recovery things you need to do too.

This includes not smoking, eating more healthy, and exercise. I think it's mostly the first two for Revs. Oh and stress management. But he's such a stubborn bastard that Stephanie or someone else is gonna have to force him to do things and chances are I think Revs is going to cry the second he's not as high from the drugs from surgery as he feels so stupid and worthless. There's also check up appointments every 3 weeks about, then yearly over time. Day one of bypass recovery you start drinking liquids again, then are encourage to sit up and cough to prevent lung infections. Day two is walking around at your own pace and solid foods. Discharge has schedules and meds established. 6 weeks after surgery you can start driving yourself again and doing other things including the sex (I am including this for fanfic purposes) and 12 weeks, you are mostly functional again. Mood swings are very common and depression can get worse, so support systems are needed (This is also for fanfic purposes). Revs would go through all stated above and not have any other problems until he reaches lates 80s and 90s where he might have another heart attack as he is stubborn and stressed, but it isn't as survivable. Haven't thought that far.

Jeremy Henzell-Thomas is an independent researcher, writer, speaker, educational consultant, former Visiting Fellow and Research Associate at the Centre of Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge, and Associate Editor of the quarterly journal Critical Muslim. He was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2021 for services to the Civil Society and the Muslim Community.

We share an issue of the physical heart...This is his musing on getting older.

“Approaching my 75th birthday I am reminded that getting older is often regarded (even stigmatised or stereotyped) as a time of declining faculties, increasing disability, and progressive crystallisation (one might even say ‘cementing’) of existing habits and attitudes, including ‘living in the past’ and getting ‘set in one’s ways’. In As you Like It Shakespeare famously depicts the final stage in the ‘Seven Ages of Man’ as one of dotage, senility and second childishness, culminating in ‘mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.’

Sadly, many seniors do see themselves as having been consigned to the ‘scrap-heap’, and even if they don’t they are often treated as such by others. I remember well a BBC interview with a very senior nursing officer on the mistreatment of elderly people in the healthcare system. Her explanation for the culture of neglect and abuse was simple. Fewer and fewer people, she said, had any religious faith or spiritual values, nor any belief in an afterlife. They therefore saw old people not as precious souls approaching the transition to the next stage of existence but only as dispensable material bodies which had outlived their usefulness. This rings true. Ageism and the culture of contempt for the old is the ultimate consequence of a brutal and nihilistic materialism which reduces everything to base physical utility, to a mere mortal body devoid of soul and spirit.

Well, I want to buck the trend and affirm that as we grow older, we are blessed with the opportunity to transcend the problems which come with age, and awaken those deeper faculties that connect us to our essential nature as fully human beings created ‘in the image of God’.For me, the experience of true intimacy is integral to that awakening. As the Qur’an tells us, God is ‘closer to you than your jugular vein.’ I love that affirmation because it confirms for me that aging offers a transformational opportunity to ‘come home’, to feel the Divine Presence intimately in the very core of the body. Several years ago I had a striking dream that I had descended from Mount Everest into the foothills, although I still had to descend further into the valleys and levels. The stunning 190-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path in Wales, which I trekked at the age of 65, actually involves a total ascent of 30,000 feet, higher than Mount Everest, so the image of Everest in my dream was referring not only to the fact that it is the highest mountain but also that it was a ‘height’ that I had scaled in my walk.

I understand now that the gift of aging is to come down from the lofty heights of heroic personal achievement and transcendent spiritual experience and exercise more warmth, love, compassion, intimacy, reconciliation and tenderness in the immanence of our relationship with others and with the world at large. In short, to become more fully human.In one sense, the transition to a Heart-centred life runs counter to the process of aging, for the physical heart is subject to various diseases. These include coronary heart disease, which occurs when the heart muscle's blood supply is blocked by a build-up of fatty substances in the coronary arteries, and aortic stenosis, when calcification causes narrowing of the aortic valve which reduces blood flow. I am familiar with the latter, as I have a bicuspid aortic valve, a congenital condition which causes stenosis, and which is monitored annually by echocardiogram. It has recently progressed from a mild to a moderate level and I am told that when it reaches a severe level I will need a replacement valve, perhaps before I reach the age of 80.

The physical deterioration of the heart, as manifested in ‘narrowing’, ‘blocking’ and ‘hardening’ offers useful analogies to similar defects in the psyche. We can speak of someone having a ‘hard heart’ or a ‘narrow view’ without in any way implicating the physical organ. In the same way, the word ‘sclerotic’ can be used to describe someone’s thinking or behaviour as rigid and unresponsive, losing the ability to adapt, without referring to sclerosis as a physical condition.

Given the common stereotype of growing old as a time of the narrowing of one’s outlook, I am very much aware of how this tendency (one might say ‘disease’) needs to be countered by cultivating a soft, open and expansive Heart that brings light, love, healing words, and compassion into one’s life and the lives of others. As I age, and hopefully before I need a replacement aortic valve, I pray that I might be true to my own Heart, and thereby to exemplify the Sufi injunction to ‘die before you die’, to let go of the egoic or false self, and live and speak by the light of the true Self. There comes a time when one must sincerely embody and enact what one knows and expresses in words.I love the moment in the film Greystoke (accompanied by the noble opening theme of Elgar’s first symphony) when Tarzan returns home to the place of his ancestry, the beautiful country estate of his elderly grandfather, the Earl of Greystoke. My eyes fill with tears when Tarzan alights from his carriage and is embraced by the earl, played with great feeling by Ralph Richardson. This ‘coming home’ is deeply symbolic for me. Tarzan, lost in the jungle, comes home after years of exile from his family, culture and native land, to be welcomed with open arms by his grandfather.

But my response is not an intellectual response to symbolism but a profound emotional feeling of ‘returning’ to the place where we all belong. In so doing, we fulfil the purpose of our lives, which is none other than the realisation of our essential unity with the ground of being. It is coming to rest in old age, in that remembrance of our ‘origin’, which on the deepest level is none other than being embraced by the ultimate Source of Love.”

Backstory/Background:

Gideon is born as the only child of Crispin Murray, the second, and youngest child of the notable and wealthy family of Drakon Murray. Being the grandson of such a man it was to be expected of him to one day be part of the medical franchise the Murray’s had long been a part of. But, this would not be Gideon’s future. One day, not long after his birth, he would be stolen from his family. They would be unable to find the baby. But Gideon would be found in a desert, and then he would be sent to live in an orphanage. 

At this orphanage Gideon would regularly be abused, beaten most of the time, earning many of his scars during these days. He would never get adopted out. As he grew older Gideon would also begin to act out. As a teenager he would start smoking weed and become more rebellious toward the staff at the orphanage. Because of this behavior, those at the orphanage would later accuse him of acting unstable. Ultimately getting him locked up in a psychiatric hospital. For some years after this Gideon would remain in this hospital.

As he had been kept prisoner he would later learn that he was, as many others in the hospital, being experimented on. His genetics would be spliced with many genetics of other creatures, seven other creatures, to be exact. Over these years Gideon and others would be taken advantage of. But one day, as his abilities finally are awakening, both those from his birth and the experiments, he manages to create and escape from the hospital. Taking the chance at freedom Gideon flees the hospital and enters a new world all together, as it has changed a lot since he was locked up.

Also he realizes that he is not only going to be hunted down and potentially returned to the hospital. But as he is trying to escape he learns that the entflee’s, only to find that the hospital is placed on an island. Going to the shore of the island Gideon searches it for a way out, knowing that he will soon be found if he doesn’t get off the island.

As he is searching the shore a man comes to him from the sea, he hands over a crystal staff and claims that it was always meant to be Gideon's. And that it is bound to him to wield. Making him one of those destined for one of the mythical legendary weapons that have been spoken about throughout history. Gideon is informed that with the staff he will help to protect the world. The being then goes on to tell him he has family. But before they can finish helping him, shots are fired in their direction and the being has left. Not having time to think about all of this, Gideon dives into the ocean, swimming from the shore of the island in hopes to remain free. 

Later, washing up on the shore of a New York beach, Gideon wanders into a suburban area where he runs into a recruiter for a circus nearby, looking for freaks and other acts for their circus. He also learns more about the organizations that have been keeping him captive and had been experimenting on him. That they are part of the groups that are also currently fighting the war that is destroying the world. Gideon also comes across, after much pursuit, Raegan, the ringmaster of the circus that keeps bothering him to join them. After a talk with them he agrees to join their circus. There he begins to work and makes a life for himself among the other misfits in the area, finally having a place he feels like he fits in at.

out.

character/s: Yakushi Kabuto, allusions to Yamanaka Minoru rating: T (kabuto behavior) content: post-fourth war kabuto musings, set in my oc canonverse wherein kabuto is imprisoned for a couple of years following the war. surprise! not beta'd words: 706

“You’re out,” Kabuto hears, and he doesn’t believe it.

He doesn’t believe it, because he’s been waiting so long to hear it and he’s known for so long that his sentence would be extensive.  He is not an innocent man, even by Shinobi standards; Orochimaru’s right hand man, perpetrator of the Fourth Shinobi War, assisting Uchiha Obito in nearly causing the collapse of not only the Shinobi world, but the world at large.  

Despite being taken in by the Foundation.  Despite Danzo worming his way into Kabuto’s mind at the ripe age of eight years old, breaking Kabuto down just to work him back up again into a perfect intelligence gathering weapon, just like his mother.  And Kabuto, so eager to please, was happy to help if it meant securing funding for the orphanage that both saved his life and gave him a purpose – the same purpose that, these days, he isn’t even sure what that is anymore.  And he would carry each mission out to completion, infiltrating the other villages, major and minor and miniscule alike, reporting back to his new master.  His new purpose.  The very purpose broken upon the murder of his mother by his own hand.

He’s a broken man, by this point.  

As if he wasn’t already.

Two years, he’s been locked up.  Two years he’s sat in his cell, under the chakra blocking seals that prevent him from acting out, prevent him from attacking his guards where it would hurt them the most.  The coronary arteries, to cut off blood supply to the heart.  The vagus nerve, halting nerve activity to the brain.  The trachea, disrupting oxygen to the lungs.  Dislodging joints to hinder movement, detaching muscles to stop movement altogether.  Ensuring his escape.

Kabuto thinks about it to pass the time, but he does not act on impulse.  

He can pinpoint the places on his guards where it would be most effective to kill them.  Their faces are hidden by the animal motif masks of Konoha’s ANBU force, but that doesn’t matter, not to Kabuto; he’s well trained as both a medic and an assassin, and his time in the Foundation only solidified his natural-born talents.  He doesn’t need to see their real faces to know where their eyes sit, should he need to gouge them out to secure his fictional getaway.  He doesn’t need to see the fine contours of their bodies to know exactly where the heart is, or where the lungs sit, or where the spinal cord is at its weakest and most vulnerable and easiest to pierce.

Two years have passed like this.  Incessant thinking, intrusive thoughts telling him to kill, disrupt, get away while you can.  

He does not listen.  He allows the thoughts to have their moment, he thanks them for their contribution, and he sends them on their way, unacted upon.

A marvel, really.  Maybe the little therapist was doing something after all, in between the annoyed looks and the notes that Kabuto’s caught glances of over his shoulder: Uncooperative, but trying.  Insufferable.  Broken.  Potential to heal; patient has to want it.

Kabuto wonders if he does.  He wonders, in the recesses of his mind, if he wants to heal from this.  He does, he thinks; wants to escape his cell on good terms, wants to step into the village as a new man, a citizen and not just some war criminal.

And he can’t deny that that is exactly who he is.  Kabuto is, at the end of the day, a war criminal.  

He doesn’t think that should stop him from enjoying a little bit of freedom.

So, he decides, he’ll work towards it.  He’ll work with the little therapist he’s been assigned to the last two years, tell him his plans and his wants and his goals.  Maybe he has, he can’t remember; he’s sure it’s come up before, but he’s unsure whether it will be acted upon or brought up again without–

He hears the words again, and wonders how long has passed since the first time he heard them the first time.

“You’re out, Yakushi.”

And he swears he sees the sun when he looks at the mouse motif mask standing in front of his open cell door.

What exactly is coronary artery disease?

Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as coronary heart disease, occurs when the coronary arteries become too narrow or when cholesterol deposits form in the walls. The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen and blood.

CAD develops when cholesterol deposits on the artery walls, forming plaques. These plaques narrow the arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart, or they can cause inflammation and hardening of the blood vessel walls. A clot can occasionally obstruct blood flow, causing serious health issues.

Coronary arteries are a network of blood vessels on the surface of the heart that supply oxygen to the organ. If these arteries narrow, the heart may not receive enough oxygen and nutrients.

Particularly during physical activity, oxygen-rich blood is required.

Symptoms Coronary artery disease

Angina can be caused by CAD. This is a type of chest pain that is associated with heart disease. Angina can cause the following sensations in the chest:

squeezing pressure

Heaviness

Tightening

Burning

Aching

Angina may also result in the following symptoms:

indigestion

Heartburn

Weakness

Sweating

Nausea

Cramping

Dizziness

Uneasiness

Shortness of breath can also be caused by CAD. Any form of exertion can become very tiring if the heart and other organs do not receive enough oxygen, which may cause a person to pant for air. At rest, a ruptured plaque can cause shortness of breath.

Complications Coronary artery disease

A heart attack occurs when the heart muscle is deprived of blood or oxygen, as when a blood clot forms in one of the coronary arteries.

Coronary thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot. If the clot is large enough, it can completely block the supply of blood to the heart through that blood vessel.

Heart attack symptoms include:

Discomfort in the chest

Coughing dizziness mild to severe chest pain

Breathing difficulties, a grey pallor in the face, and general discomfort

Panic

Vomiting and nausea

Restlessness

Clammy sweating skin

Understanding the Long-Term Benefits of Bypass Surgery

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and for many, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), commonly known as bypass surgery, offers a lifeline. This surgical procedure has been a cornerstone in cardiovascular treatment for decades, significantly enhancing the quality of life for patients. In this blog, we will explore the long-term benefits of bypass surgery, shedding light on why this procedure remains a critical option for those with severe heart conditions.

What is Bypass Surgery?

Bypass surgery is a procedure that aims to improve blood flow to the heart muscle. This is achieved by diverting blood around narrowed or blocked arteries to improve blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. The surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body, typically the leg or chest, and grafts it onto the blocked coronary artery. This new pathway allows blood to bypass the blockage, hence the name.

Immediate Benefits Post-Surgery

The immediate benefits of bypass surgery are significant. Patients often experience:

. Relief from Angina: Many patients report a dramatic reduction in chest pain and discomfort.

. Improved Heart Function: Restoring adequate blood flow helps the heart pump more efficiently.

. Increased Physical Activity: Enhanced blood flow often leads to increased energy levels and physical capabilities.

These immediate benefits can drastically improve a patient's quality of life, but what about the long-term benefits?

Long-Term Benefits of Bypass Surgery

. Prolonged Life Expectancy

One of the most significant long-term benefits of bypass surgery is the potential for a prolonged life expectancy. Studies have shown that patients who undergo bypass surgery, especially those at high risk of heart attacks, tend to live longer than those who opt for other treatments like medication or angioplasty.

. Sustained Relief from Symptoms

While the immediate relief from symptoms such as angina is a clear benefit, many patients continue to experience this relief for many years after the surgery. The improvements in blood flow are not just temporary; they provide lasting results that contribute to a better quality of life over the long term.

. Reduced Risk of Future Heart Attacks

Bypass surgery addresses the underlying cause of severe coronary artery disease. By improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart, the risk of future heart attacks is significantly diminished. This reduction in risk is crucial for long-term health and wellbeing.

. Improved Heart Function

Over time, the heart's ability to function efficiently can improve significantly post-surgery. This improvement is vital for patients who have suffered from heart failure or other complications due to poor blood flow. Enhanced heart function translates to better overall health and the ability to engage in daily activities with less fatigue and shortness of breath.

. Enhanced Mental Health and Wellbeing

Living with severe heart disease can take a toll on mental health, causing anxiety and depression. Bypass surgery often leads to substantial improvements in mental health, as patients no longer live with the constant fear of chest pain or the looming threat of a heart attack. This newfound peace of mind contributes to overall wellbeing and a positive outlook on life.

Understanding the long-term benefits of bypass surgery is crucial for anyone facing severe coronary artery disease. From prolonged life expectancy to sustained symptom relief and improved mental health, the advantages of this procedure are extensive. For many, bypass surgery is not just a medical intervention; it is a pathway to a healthier, more active life.

At PatientSelfTesting, we are committed to providing comprehensive information to help patients make informed decisions about their health. The long-term benefits of bypass surgery are clear and compelling, making it a valuable option for those with advanced heart disease. If you or a loved one is considering bypass surgery, understanding these benefits can help guide you towards a healthier future.

Angioplasty in Nagpur

Dr Manish Juneja, best cardiologist in Nagpur. He has done 5091+ angioplasty.

Read More: Angioplasty in Nagpur

Coronary angioplasty, or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a non-surgical procedure that opens blocked heart arteries to improve blood flow. Heart specialists in Nagpur are capable of treating the same with utmost precision and expertise, making it particularly safe to have heart problems treated in Nagpur. A balloon-tipped catheter is threaded through the vessel at the site of damage, and then inflated to widen that section of the artery so blood can flow more easily. Sometimes, a stent is placed to keep the artery open and prevent additional blockages. Advanced medical equipment and experienced cardiologists in Nagpur help these known patients to get excellent treatment for their coronary artery disease, which further helps improve the quality of life, and overall heart condition.

What You Need To Know About Coronary Angiography

What is Coronary Angiography?

Coronary Angiography is a diagnostic test that uses X-ray technology and a contrast dye to create detailed images of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. The test helps doctors to diagnose and evaluate the severity of narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, which can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms of heart disease. The procedure is performed by threading a thin, flexible tube called a catheter through an artery, typically in the leg or arm, and up to the heart. The contrast dye is then injected through the catheter, and X-ray images are taken to visualize the blood flow in the coronary arteries. Coronary angiography can also be used to guide treatment procedures, such as angioplasty or stenting, to open blocked or narrowed coronary arterie.

Coronary angiography is typically an outpatient procedure that takes about 10 minutes to 15 minutes to complete. However, the total time spent at the hospital may be longer, as there is usually some preparation time and recovery time afterwards. The preparation time may include obtaining informed consent, an IV line insertion, and some blood work, and this can take 30 minutes to an hour. After the procedure, the patient will be monitored for about 4 hours in the recovery room or in the cardiac catheterization lab. So, the total time spent at the hospital can be around 6-8 hours. It is important to note that the time may vary depending on the individual case and the facility where the procedure is being performed.

What are the risks involved in doing coronary angiography?

Allergic reaction to the contrast dye used in the procedure

Bruising or bleeding at the puncture site

Blood clots in leg or wrist artery

Heart attack or stroke

Damage to the blood vessels or heart

Kidney damage

However, these risks are generally considered to be low, and the procedure is considered to be safe when performed by an experienced operator. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with your doctor to determine whether it is appropriate for you.

What is the cost of coronary angiography in India?

The cost of a coronary angiography procedure in India can vary depending on a number of factors such as the location, the hospital, and the type of procedure used. On average, the cost of a coronary angiography procedure in India can range from around 20,000 to 50,000 Indian Rupees. However, in some private hospitals, the cost could be higher. It is important to note that this cost may also vary depending on whether you have health insurance or not, and what type of coverage you have. It is always recommended that you check with your insurance company to see what your policy covers, and to get an estimate of the out-of-pocket costs you will be responsible for.

Difference Between Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attack – Everyone Should Know

Cardiac Arrest, Heart Attack, or a Heart Failure – Is there a difference, or are these terminologies the same? In this article, let’s focus on the difference between Cardiac Arrest and Heart attack. Here are two real-life incidences:

Situation ‘A’

Navneet was 50 years old. One morning when he was walking out of the office cafeteria, he suddenly felt a pain at the center of his chest. Navneet thought it was just a heartburn and hence kept walking. As he stopped by his friend’s desk, he got very light-headed. His friend indicated that he looked gray and insisted on calling their emergency number. However, Navneet declined and chose to walk towards his cubicle through the long corridor. His legs felt rubbery as he approached his desk, and felt so disabled that he had to cling onto the cubicle walls to get some support and remain steady. Immediately thereafter, he was admitted to the emergency room and accordingly treated.

Situation ‘B’

Suraj was in his office talking to his team member when he started to get dizzy. He started to stumble around and then ran forward straight into a door frame. He fell on the floor straight. Suraj tried to speak, but he couldn’t. He had trouble breathing and started to unbutton his shirt as he felt suffocated. He was rushed to the hospital and given a round of CPR followed by other courses of treatment.

What can be derived from the above incidences?

Navneet, while in the hospital, discovered that there was 90% occlusion in his right coronary artery and had to get a stent placed to avoid further similar occurrences; whereas in Suraj’s case, his Left Anterior Descending artery (LAD) was 100% blocked and Right Coronary Artery (RCA) was about 80% blocked.

Nevertheless, symptom-wise, both the incidents mentioned above look similar but are very different. Situation ‘A’ is a case of Heart Attack, and Situation ‘B’ is a case of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).

People assume these to be similar medical conditions and often use the terms interchangeably. However, there is a significant difference between cardiac arrest and heart attack.

Medical science has made remarkable advancements and treating a heart attack or a cardiac arrest is much more possible, even non-surgically. Poona Preventive Cardiovascular Centre (PPCC) offers the most viable non-surgical treatment in Pune for heart diseases with the best and safest modern techniques. We solely believe in delivering scientifically-validated therapeutics for healthy and long-term wellbeing.

Since heart attack or cardiac arrest episodes can be fatal and traumatic, causing a high degree of damage to the heart anyway, it is always advisable that, if possible, you must opt for non-surgical treatment to go mild and easy on your heart.

To understand the major difference between Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attack, first, let’s get to know what these conditions are like?

What happens in a Heart attack?

Your heart beats 60 to 100 times a minute due to the oxygen that it carries. An instance of Heart attack can occur when a layer of plaque, a combination of cholesterol, fat, and other substances, blocks the oxygen-borne blood flow to the heart muscles.

What signs indicate a Heart Attack?

Usually, heart attack symptoms gradually begin developing a few hours, days, or weeks earlier and persist for some time. Also, the heart does not stop beating during a heart attack even after the blood supply is disrupted. Moreover, symptoms of heart attack can differ in men and women.

Few noticeable symptoms during a heart attack:

Pressure, tightness, pain, squeezing, or aching sensations in your chest or arms, which may spread to your neck, jaw, or back

Symptoms such as nausea, indigestion, heartburn, or abdominal pain may also be seen

Breathing difficulty

Cold sweat

Fatigue

Light-headedness or dizziness that may occur suddenly

Does your heart get damaged after a heart attack?

The heart is a very sturdy organ. So, after suffering an attack, even though some of it may get damaged, the other half keeps functioning. But, your heart may come down to a weakened condition that might need greater care after that.

What happens in a Cardiac Arrest?

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) may occur when there is a sudden loss of heart function. Due to irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), the pumping action is disturbed, and the heart is unable to supply blood to the brain, lungs, and other parts of the body. Within a few seconds, the person falls unconscious, having no pulse. Untreated, such a condition worsens and leads to death.

It can happen to anyone at any time, although it most often happens in people already having some other health problem or who have a heart condition. The most common cause of a cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation, which happens when the electrical impulses tell your heart to beat.

Further SCA symptoms that show the difference between Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attack:

Sudden cardiac arrest symptoms are immediate and severe, including:

Unexpected collapse

No pulse detected

No breathing.

Unconsciousness

Few other signs and symptoms may appear prior to a sudden cardiac arrest. These could include:

Chest ache

Weakness due to shortness of breath

Palpitations are symptoms of a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart. However, sudden cardiac arrest often occurs without warning.

Is there a link between SCA and Heart Attack?

Although medically, there is a wide difference between Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attack, these two conditions are interlinked. Basically, a heart attack may turn out to be the onset of a cardiac arrest as SCA may occur post a heart attack or while recovering from one. We can also say that heart attack may be a common cause of cardiac arrest.

Apart from a heart attack,  thickened heart muscle, arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation, and long Q-T syndrome can also be the reasons for a Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Cardiac Arrest Vs Heart Attack – In a nutshell

Cardiac Arrest

Heart attack

Sudden cardiac arrest is typically a medical emergency that can happen after the heart suddenly stops beating.

On the other hand, heart attack refers to a more serious condition in which a clogged  artery interrupts blood from flowing to the heart.

When a person’s heart stops pumping blood around their body, he stops breathing normally. In such a case, the person is said to be under cardiac arrest.

A heart attack is the cause of many cardiac arrests in adults. This is because a person experiencing a heart attack may develop a dangerous heart rhythm, resulting in cardiac arrest.

What steps should you take during a heart attack or a cardiac arrest?

Although there is a difference between Cardiac Arrest and Heart Attack, the emergency care steps could be similar:

Call the nearest medical emergency available

Start CPR straight away

Make sure there is room to lay down next to the person

Place your hands on the middle of the person’s chest

Push hard and fast in a downward motion at least 100 times.

Then, continue to push hard and fast for another 100 compressions

 If you are on the floor, place your hands on the person’s shoulder to tilt their head back

Continue the CPR process until professional emergency arrives.

We are proud to hone the fact that Poona Preventive Cardiovascular Center (PPCC) is the only clinic in Pune to be specialized in modern science techniques like Chelation Therapy, EECP, ESMR, and HBOT, ensuring effective non-surgical treatment in Pune for heart problems.

SS Innovations International SSi Mantra Robotic Surgical System Crosses 500 Successful Procedure Milestone

Company Founder and Chairman, Dr. Sudhir P. Srivastava performed complex heart surgery, while simultaneously, Dr. Sudhir K. Rawal, Medical Director for Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, performed complex Urology Oncology surgery, marking 500 surgery milestone using the SSi Mantra Surgical Robotic System

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, November 27, 2023 - SS Innovations International, Inc. (the "Company" or "SS Innovations") (OTC:SSII), a developer of innovative surgical robotic technologies dedicated to making robotic surgery affordable and accessible to a global population, today announced the successful completion of 500 robotic surgeries using the Company’s innovative SSi Mantra Surgical Robotic System, and marking another significant milestone for the Company.

Dr. Sudhir K. Rawal, Medical Director and Chief of the Urology-Oncology Department at the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Center in New Delhi, was proud that it was his team that achieved this significant milestone by successfully completing the 500th procedure using the SSi Mantra Surgical Robotic System. He was assisted by Dr. Amitabh Singh, a renowned surgeon in the field of Urology Oncology and a distinguished surgeon from Dr. Rawal’s team. This recognition is noteworthy given Dr. Rawal and the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institutes’ help in securing SS Innovations’ clinical validation, but also as the first healthcare institution in the Indian Subcontinent to acquire the system, and as a result, performing the highest volume of clinical procedures with the SSi Mantra Robotic System within all of India to date.

Dr. Rawal stated, “This is great news that the SSi Mantra has been used in 500 cases across India in diverse disciplines of surgery. I believe that this is the start of an affordable robotic surgery solution in the country that can easily provide world class care. The SSi Mantra is the first affordable system and as such, has the opportunity to be utilized in large metropolitan area hospitals as well as in tier 2 and tier 3 cities medical facilities. It has been a big journey for Dr. Sudhir Srivastava and his team, and I am proud to have been associated right from the beginning and during the various phases of the clinical trials where we used this robotic system in some very complex cancer surgery procedures. I believe that the SSi Mantra has the potential to become the most used robotic surgical system in India over the next several years.”

After crossing the significant milestone mark, the 501st surgery was performed by SS Innovations International Inc., Founder and Chairman, Dr. Sudhir P. Srivastava, and was a bilateral internal mammary artery takedown procedure to be utilized in a heart surgery patient with significant coronary artery disease. The two harvested internal mammary arteries were used to bypass blocked coronary arteries, restoring blood flow to previously diseased areas of the heart, and resulting in improved functioning of the heart. This was a first of its kind procedure to be performed with the SSi Mantra Robotic System. This surgery was done as part of the ongoing teaching curriculum at the Narayana Hrudalayala Institute of Cardiac Sciences in Bengaluru, Karnataka, where Dr. Srivastava launched the robotic cardiac surgery program, along with the support of Dr. Devi Shetty, Chairman of the prestigious healthcare institution, several months ago. Dr. Srivastava was assisted by Dr. Nitin Kumar Rajput, a prominent surgeon in the field of minimally invasive cardiac surgery.

Commenting on this noteworthy milestone, Dr. Srivastava said, “It is with great pleasure to realize that from humble beginnings as a company, and through the dedication and effort of our team, along with enormous support from the community of surgeons from all corners of India and the globe, that we have collectively achieved this milestone of 500 successful surgeries using our innovative SSi Mantra System. I am deeply grateful to all who have shared our vision of making Gold Standard Healthcare an affordable and accessible right for the many patients in India who otherwise may not have had access to this level of advanced care. I am thankful to all the doctors and hospitals throughout India who have joined us on this incredible journey of innovation and service. Knowing that we have been able to successfully launch in India, we look forward to now serving as a model to the many underserved jurisdictions globally. Although this milestone is very significant, more importantly, it reminds us of how much more we have to accomplish in India and around the world.”

getting older

Jeremy Henzell-Thomas is an independent researcher, writer, speaker, educational consultant, former Visiting Fellow and Research Associate at the Centre of Islamic Studies at the University of Cambridge, and Associate Editor of the quarterly journal Critical Muslim. He was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2021 for services to the Civil Society and the Muslim Community.

We share an issue of the physical heart...This is his musing on getting older.

Approaching my 75th birthday I am reminded that getting older is often regarded (even stigmatised or stereotyped) as a time of declining faculties, increasing disability, and progressive crystallisation (one might even say ‘cementing’) of existing habits and attitudes, including ‘living in the past’ and getting ‘set in one’s ways’. In As you Like It Shakespeare famously depicts the final stage in the ‘Seven Ages of Man’ as one of dotage, senility and second childishness, culminating in ‘mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.’

Sadly, many seniors do see themselves as having been consigned to the ‘scrap-heap’, and even if they don’t they are often treated as such by others. I remember well a BBC interview with a very senior nursing officer on the mistreatment of elderly people in the healthcare system. Her explanation for the culture of neglect and abuse was simple. Fewer and fewer people, she said, had any religious faith or spiritual values, nor any belief in an afterlife. They therefore saw old people not as precious souls approaching the transition to the next stage of existence but only as dispensable material bodies which had outlived their usefulness. This rings true. Ageism and the culture of contempt for the old is the ultimate consequence of a brutal and nihilistic materialism which reduces everything to base physical utility, to a mere mortal body devoid of soul and spirit.

Well, I want to buck the trend and affirm that as we grow older, we are blessed with the opportunity to transcend the problems which come with age, and awaken those deeper faculties that connect us to our essential nature as fully human beings created ‘in the image of God’.

For me, the experience of true intimacy is integral to that awakening. As the Qur’an tells us, God is ‘closer to you than your jugular vein.’ I love that affirmation because it confirms for me that aging offers a transformational opportunity to ‘come home’, to feel the Divine Presence intimately in the very core of the body. Several years ago I had a striking dream that I had descended from Mount Everest into the foothills, although I still had to descend further into the valleys and levels. The stunning 190-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path in Wales, which I trekked at the age of 65, actually involves a total ascent of 30,000 feet, higher than Mount Everest, so the image of Everest in my dream was referring not only to the fact that it is the highest mountain but also that it was a ‘height’ that I had scaled in my walk. 

I understand now that the gift of aging is to come down from the lofty heights of heroic personal achievement and transcendent spiritual experience and exercise more warmth, love, compassion, intimacy, reconciliation and tenderness in the immanence of our relationship with others and with the world at large. In short, to become more fully human.In one sense, the transition to a Heart-centred life runs counter to the process of aging, for the physical heart is subject to various diseases. These include coronary heart disease, which occurs when the heart muscle's blood supply is blocked by a build-up of fatty substances in the coronary arteries, and aortic stenosis, when calcification causes narrowing of the aortic valve which reduces blood flow. I am familiar with the latter, as I have a bicuspid aortic valve, a congenital condition which causes stenosis, and which is monitored annually by echocardiogram. It has recently progressed from a mild to a moderate level and I am told that when it reaches a severe level I will need a replacement valve, perhaps before I reach the age of 80.

The physical deterioration of the heart, as manifested in ‘narrowing’, ‘blocking’ and ‘hardening’ offers useful analogies to similar defects in the psyche. We can speak of someone having a ‘hard heart’ or a ‘narrow view’ without in any way implicating the physical organ. In the same way, the word ‘sclerotic’ can be used to describe someone’s thinking or behaviour as rigid and unresponsive, losing the ability to adapt, without referring to sclerosis as a physical condition.

Given the common stereotype of growing old as a time of the narrowing of one’s outlook, I am very much aware of how this tendency (one might say ‘disease’) needs to be countered by cultivating a soft, open and expansive Heart that brings light, love, healing words, and compassion into one’s life and the lives of others. As I age, and hopefully before I need a replacement aortic valve, I pray that I might be true to my own Heart, and thereby to exemplify the Sufi injunction to ‘die before you die’, to let go of the egoic or false self, and live and speak by the light of the true Self. There comes a time when one must sincerely embody and enact what one knows and expresses in words.

I love the moment in the film Greystoke (accompanied by the noble opening theme of Elgar’s first symphony) when Tarzan returns home to the place of his ancestry, the beautiful country estate of his elderly grandfather, the Earl of Greystoke. My eyes fill with tears when Tarzan alights from his carriage and is embraced by the earl, played with great feeling by Ralph Richardson. This ‘coming home’ is deeply symbolic for me. Tarzan, lost in the jungle, comes home after years of exile from his family, culture and native land, to be welcomed with open arms by his grandfather. 

But my response is not an intellectual response to symbolism but a profound emotional feeling of ‘returning’ to the place where we all belong. In so doing, we fulfil the purpose of our lives, which is none other than the realisation of our essential unity with the ground of being. It is coming to rest in old age, in that remembrance of our ‘origin’, which on the deepest level is none other than being embraced by the ultimate Source of Love.
