Heart Health

Heart attack:

• A heart attack is permanent death of heart tissue.
   
• Warning Sign: loss of oxygen to heart causes a chest pain, also known as “angina”. 

Heart Failure:

• This condition occurs when your heart is damaged, usually as a result of past heart attacks.
   
• When your blood pressure is too high, your heart has to work much harder to pump against the pressure.
   
• Due to the amount of pressure in the arteries, much less oxygen reaches the other parts of your body, which causes shortness of breath and fatigue.
