Heart Muscle
What Do You Do When You Have a Heart Attack?
Copyright (c) 2009 Stephen Lau
Heart attacks occur when your heart fails to pump oxygen to some part of your heart due to blockage in one or more of the Coronary arteries.
Approximately 1.5 million Americans suffer a first or recurrent heart attack every year, and of this number almost half a million do not survive. Occasionally, a heart attack may kill an individual outright with no “warning” signs at all. However, in most cases, heart attack survival depends on what is done before, during, and after a heart attack. Heart attack survival is important.
Knowledge is empowering. It is important for you to know and remember the heart attack warning signs. These heart attack symptoms include: chest pain or uncomfortable pressure in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes. This feeling of weakness or even discomfort like indigestion, often accompanied by lightheadedness, nausea, or shortness of breath, may disappear and then come back, lasting more than half an hour. You may or may not lose your consciousness when you have an attack.
Heart attacks may occur anywhere and at any time – whether you are at rest or engaged in an activity.
Be knowledgeable about heart attack survival. The most important thing to remember is: time is of essence. Do not downplay or deny your heart attack warning signs. Do not make excuses for your heart attack symptoms. Yes, these warning signs and symptoms are diverse and may not be definitive. However, it is better to err on the wrong side than to deprive yourself the opportunity of survival. Embarrassment at the thought of inconveniencing others, coupled with fear, usually results in dangerous denial and indecision, which may cost life.
Before an attack, you should devise and memorize a plan in case you are confronted with one. Such a heart attack survival plan includes: the name of the hospital with 24-hour emergency Cardiac care nearest to your home; the names of people you should call for help; and the telephone number of the emergency rescue service.
When you think you are having or going to have an attack, take two aspirins immediately. In order to make them more effective, pulverize or chew them, and then drink a glass of water for faster absorption. Given that aspirin is a blood thinner, it may restore blood flow immediately through some clogged arteries, thereby instrumental in delaying heart muscle damage as well as buying you time to get to the hospital to get other heart-saving treatments.
After an attack, you may be transferred to the cardiac care unit after being stabilized in the Emergency Room. You will be closely monitored to prevent another attack.
After heart attack survival, your heart has to repair itself, replacing the dead tissue (a result of heart muscle damage) with scar tissue (tissue that has been damaged can never be replaced). After an attack, your heart has to adapt to using less heart muscle to do the pumping of blood. Recovery is slow and such adaptation may take several weeks. During the recovery phase, you may feel depressed and distressed with emotional feelings of anger, anxiety, fear, or hopelessness. To speed up the rehabilitation process, it is important that you do some soul-searching, and make a commitment to change your lifestyle. Self-reflection promotes positive lifestyle changes. Now that you have been given a “second chance at life”, make the best and the most of it. Do all you can to prevent future attacks.

Cardiac Muscle $78.07 Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are known as cardiac myocytes (or cardiomyocytes). Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle are sometimes seen as intermediate between these two other types in terms of appearance, structure, metabolism, excitationcoupling and mechanism of contraction. Cardiac muscle shares similarities with skeletal muscle with regard to its striated appearance and contraction, with both differing significantly from smooth muscle cells. Coordinated contraction of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood from the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function.

For years we ve been told the best way to lose weight and feel great is to spend hours doing aerobic exercises or killing yourself at the gym, or even worse, by starvation dieting. This thought process couldn t be more WRONG, dead wrong. In today s fast paced too much information world it s become tough to find the right program to keep us healthy and fit. What is Jorge s proven solution to these health, fitness and weight loss problems? Jorge’s #1 get-slim secret Strength training in the morning. OK, here it the big news: if you are overweight, the FAT is not the source of your problem. It is only the symptom. The real source of the problem is a lack of lean muscle tissue. YES!! When you have more lean muscle you burn more calories 24 hours day (even when you are sleeping!) Muscle mass is what controls your metabolism. The more active your lean muscle tissue is, the more fat you will burn through out the day whether you are exercising or not. Aerobics can never do that. Aerobic exercise is great for your heart and overall health, but strength training will get your body tuned into a fat burning machine! Muscle loss can begin after age 20, as shown in cross-sections of thighs (by magnetic imaging). Only strength training can restore youthful fat-burning muscle tissue.

A Natural Method Of Physical Training $14.14 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:III. HOW TO BREATHE. f T the time of this writing the newspapers 1 contain comments on the illness and death of certain prominent athletes. The winner of many prizes passes away at the age of twenty-four. Lung weakness seizes upon other seemingly stalwart types of “trained” men. These are startling facts. They form a significant comment on some modern methods of drilling the machinery of the human body. If men are to gain muscle at the expense of their life, it is plain that people will soon begin to look askance at training methods of every kind. What is the difficulty ? Why has training become dangerous ? Why do lung and heart troubles assail in after years the enthusiastic followers of highly active sport ? The answer seems to me to be this: Thatmodern “training” has become a “straining” system that is frequently not only indiscreet but dangerous. It is dangerous not only because of its useless violence and hardship, but because of the pernicious theories upon which it is founded. It begins on the outside instead of the inside. Greater than all its other evils is its neglect of the lungs. When we stop for a moment to consider the tremendous importance of the lungs it must become apparent that any neglect of these great central boilers of the body is the worst kind of neglect. The office of the lungs is of the very highest importance. This importance is incidentally acknowledged by many writers and teachers, but the development of the lungs is left to take care of itself, it being assumed as a general thing that all exercises tend sufficiently to expand the lungs. To be sure, great stress is occasionally laid upon the expansion of the chest, but the assumption too frequently appears to be that this expansion is a matter of external muscular development.
