Abdullah Al-Jamea, a consultant cardiologist at King Fahd University Hospital in Al-Khobar, said that the incidence of a heart attack or cardiac arrest has its obvious main causes and factors, and the Corona vaccine does not fall within it, as is rumored. Rather, the vaccine is considered safe and is recommended by heart patients to avoid complications from Corona disease that may lead to death, God forbid.
Al-Jameh stressed that the increase in the occurrence of heart attacks is due to the increase in the factors that cause atherosclerosis of the heart, pointing out that the main factors causing coronary atherosclerosis are multiple, the most important of which are diabetes, high blood pressure, high levels of harmful fats in the blood, smoking, lack of exercise and obesity, and that the genetic factor Chronic stress and drug use are among the most important factors for atherosclerosis and heart attack.
heart health..
He explained that the incidence of stroke for adults is considered as the main factor in coronary artery disease, and then other diseases such as heart muscle weakness, enlargement, inflammation, heart valve disease, some electrocardiograms, some hereditary heart diseases and congenital heart defects come following that.
Al-Jameh added, “Not everyone who suffers from atherosclerosis or any heart disease or electrocution is at risk of cardiac arrest, God forbid. Some diseases are curable, while others are not life-threatening.”
Genetic history is an important factor
Al-Jameh noted the need to see a specialist cardiologist to diagnose any genetic disease, God forbid, for individuals who have a genetic history of heart attack in their prime.
He gave his advice to community members to maintain heart health by eating healthy food that includes vegetables, fruits and fish, avoiding meat, especially processed meats, paying attention to daily sports, reaching the ideal weight, and monitoring sugar and pressure with doctors periodically.
Steroids come into play
For his part, Nabil Al-Khunaizi, an ENT consultant and human development trainer, founder of the Stadium Health Initiative, which deals with deaths in stadiums resulting from heart disease, said: Steroids play a negative role on the heart and blood vessels, as steroids lead to enlargement of the heart muscle and imbalance in the structure of the left ventricle of the heart. To increase harmful LDL cholesterol, which increases plaque on blood vessels.
Al-Khunaizi stressed that this is scientifically proven in many research papers in the scientific community, and that many of the causes of death from heart attacks for players are hereditary causes, and the symptoms are usually simple, and for this reason the athlete does not pay any attention to them, so deaths occur due to hereditary cardiomyopathy or due to congenital anomalies. For the heart artery, or a problem known as heart electrical disturbances.
Sports behavior is influential
Al-Khunaizi stressed that there are different causes in the genetic aspect, but the diseases acquired over the age of 35 for athletes play an important role in their deaths due to the genetic causes related to the heart and arteries.
With regard to correct sports behavior, he said that sleeping enough hours is worth avoiding heart stress, and that warming up and eating moderate meals that contain proteins and carbohydrates while avoiding sugars and energy drinks is important for the athlete to avoid heart problems.
He pointed to the need for a person with sports asthma to take asthma medications with medical advice and to adhere to what the doctor says, stressing that plenty of fluids, especially in the summer period, is one of the most important preventive aspects for athletes.
Regarding the role of medical examinations, Al-Khunaizi said that the athlete must perform the necessary medical examinations related to ECG on an annual basis, in order to identify diseases of the heart and arteries.
Al-Khunaizi stressed the need for an ambulance team that has a defibrillator and electric shock device to be present in the sports tournaments held by the sports district teams. This is for rapid interventions in addition to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, with the necessity of having a squad and working to avoid sudden and unexpected heart attacks that might lead to death.
Obesity is a risk
On the one hand, * specialist Sabri Al-Ghawi confirmed * * nutritionist *
At Jubail General Hospital, overweight or obesity is a risk factor for stroke or heart attack, and they are linked to dietary behavior.
Al-Ghawi mentioned that high blood cholesterol and an increase in saturated and trans fats are among the causes leading to high blood pressure, which is one of the biggest risk factors for stroke or heart attack, and there are foods that help reduce the risk of infection by improving blood circulation and controlling cholesterol levels, such as Fruits and vegetables, olive oil, nuts, whole grains, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, garlic.
He emphasized that fluids generally help in increasing blood fluidity and reducing its viscosity, and water is an auxiliary factor for transporting oxygen to the brain as well as for expelling cholesterol from the blood, pointing to the importance of visiting a doctor to know the risk factors, adopting a healthy lifestyle, refraining from smoking, and practicing physical activity.
