Eat To Live: How to avoid a heart attack.
Byline: JULIA WATSON
LE BUGUE, France, July 31 (UPI) -- Hardly a week goes by without some food or other being discovered to have some magical property to protect against heart disease. Cocoa is among the latest, with polyphenol, its antioxidant-like chemical lowering bad cholesterol and raising the good.
654,092 deaths in the U.S. in 2004 were due to heart disease, up from 502,189 in 2001. It's the biggest killer of men and women in the Western world.
But would you recognize a heart attack if you were beginning to have one?
You may feel nauseous. Or breathless and dizzy. You may become sweaty. More than likely you'll get a heavy, restrictive pain in the middle of your chest that feels worse than indigestion and could spread down yours arms and up your neck to your jaw.
A blood clot will have blocked an artery round the heart, preventing oxygen from reaching the pumping muscle.
If you think it will go away and wait to call an ambulance, your chances of survival will decrease rapidly. Interrupted blood flow to the heart has to be restored as fast as possible.
