Want to know why do we develope cardiac problems ?

Answer 1

Clogged arteries which feed the heart muscle. Usually caused by poor diet and sedentary life style.

Answer 2

Causes and Physiology of Cardiac Arrest: The condition is usually caused by electrical malfunction of the heart ventricular fibrillations (VF) - an ineffective quivering of the heart muscle. During cardiac arrest, the heart is unable to pump blood through the body to the brain and other vital organs. Usually, SCA victim loses his or her pulse, then consciousness, and finally the ability to breathe. Without immediate treatment, the victim almost always dies. Today, heart attack and stroke victims can benefit from new medications and treatments unavailable to patients in years past. For example, clot-busting drugs can stop some heart attacks and strokes in progress, reducing disability and saving lives. But to be effective, these drugs must be given relatively quickly after heart attack or stroke symptoms first appear. So again, don't delay -- get help right away!

SCA is not the same as a heart attack. Although a person suffering from a heart attack often develops an abnormal heart rhythm. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing damage to the heart muscle. Before and during a heart attack, most victims complain of chest, arm, abdominal, or jaw pain. In addition, a heart attack victim usually remains conscious, whereas an SCA victim always loses consciousness. SCA has no warnings, and is unpredictable, and although preexisting heart disease is a common cause, many victims have never had previous heart problems.

Coronary artery disease is often the source of SCA. A rare cause of cardiac arrest that often attracts media attention is commotio cordis, or cardiac concussion. Commotio cordis is caused by a blunt trauma to the chest that interrupts the heartbeat, such as when an athlete is hit in the chest with a baseball.

Answer 3

Cardiac problems can be caused by many things, including:
Excessive smoking, stress, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart defects.

Answer 4

Lots Of Reasons,like most other problems,however heredity is most often the reason we get problems.We are born with a blueprint of what we will and won't be likely to get for any given ex poser.Example most of the decedents of survivors of the black plague in Europe long ago, are now immune to aids

Answer 5

causes of cardiac problems could be acquired or congenital. congenital like malformed heart or holes in the heart.
acquired could be due alcohol consumption, too much of bad fat intake (cholesterol), hypertension that is not properly managed..i
it can be prevented by doing regular blood pressure check, regular lipid profile check, lots of vegetables and less of fat.

Answer 6

stress, smoking, lost of fats in our diet
