FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Heart disease includes both congenital conditions present from birth and acquired problems that develop later. These may include congenital defects, coronary artery disease, valve disease and selected heart tumors that sometimes need surgical treatment.
In children, warning signs can include breathing difficulty, bluish lips or nail beds, worsening breathlessness during feeding or activity, poor growth, recurrent respiratory illness and palpitations. In adults, symptoms may include central chest pressure, breathlessness on exertion, reduced exercise tolerance, palpitations, fainting, cough or a history of rheumatic fever.
A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when blood flow through a coronary artery becomes blocked and part of the heart muscle is injured. Symptoms can include severe central chest pressure or squeezing, pain spreading to the jaw, arms, shoulder or back, shortness of breath, nausea, cold sweating and unusual fatigue.
Seek medical advice without unnecessary delay if you have recurring chest pain, shortness of breath, reduced exercise capacity, palpitations, fainting, or signs of congenital heart disease in a child. Early assessment can help prevent serious complications and guide the right tests and treatment.
Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, limit saturated fat, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, avoid smoking and second-hand smoke, control blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol, limit alcohol and keep stress under control.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), commonly called bypass surgery, creates a new route for blood flow around a narrowed or blocked coronary artery. A suitable artery or vein from the chest, arm or leg may be used as the graft.
No. Some gastric discomfort may feel like burning and be related to meals, while angina can feel like pressure, squeezing or tightness and may spread to the jaw, neck, arms or back. Chest pain with exertion, sweating, nausea or breathlessness should not automatically be assumed to be gastric.
Seek emergency care immediately for sudden pressure, squeezing or crushing chest pain; pain spreading to the jaw, left arm or back; chest pain with shortness of breath; or symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, confusion, pallor, heavy sweating, or a very fast or very slow pulse.
Heart surgery may be needed to correct selected congenital defects, repair or replace damaged heart valves, perform coronary artery bypass grafting, remove selected tumors such as myxoma, repair certain ruptures or aneurysms, or treat some conditions involving the ascending aorta. The need for surgery depends on specialist evaluation.
