heart attack

A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction (MI), is a serious and deadly problem of the heart. It occurs when a clot of blood or plaque builds in the arteries or veins of the heart, decreasing or stopping blood flow to a part of the heart muscle. The heart will fail to beat sufficiently due to less workpower and more stress, and may then degrade into an abnormal heart rhythm or cardiac arrest, the latter of which having only an eight to ten percent survival rate.(1)

They may occur as a result of disease or with no apparent cause.

Chewed aspirin is used in the immediate treatment of heart attacks for better outcomes. Later, heparin (blood thinner) may be given, with nitroglycerin (blood vessel widener) or an opioid ("pain killer"). Long-term measures, such as blood thinners, stents, beta blockers, statins, nitroglycerin, and angiotensin II receptor blockers as well as angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (both of these widen blood vessels and decrease blood pressure), and aspirin regimens can be used and prescribed for comfort and preventative means.

Noticeable symptoms for men often include severe pain in the chest, arms, and neck, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, feelings of impending doom, and fainting. For women, they more often include nausea, indigestion, and clamminess, but may also include the other symptoms.

Heart attacks are a growing problem that we can help treat. Eat less salt, get some more exercise, even for just a brisk walk a day, drink and smoke less, and we'll finish heart attacks in no time.

heart and sole

Refers to da past-heavenly combination created when a warmly-smiling chick obligingly places her pretty feet against yer chest when requested, so dat ya can savor both da comforting/soothing feel of her cute toes, arches, and heels against yer collarbone and solar plexus, and da positive and openly/deeply-loving energy dat she's affectionately "pumping out through her feet" and into yer chest.

Perhaps da term here should be "heart and SOLES", since da cutie is putting BOTH of her lovely delectable tootsies against yer chest.

Opposite Heart

Everything your heart is, pure, true, feels, is sure about, but is being lived opposite as to as if you take everything that is love and all goes against grain. I knew the day I looked into your eyes my love was forever yours. And, yes, I did hear you whisper the same in return as the song suggest, Ed Sheridan I believe. Although you've never fully voiced it, you never had to, I saw it in your eyes then, I felt it in everything we were then and ironically still today, so much alike, although differences in skill sets only complimenting one another to equal a perfect 10, or you at least is where i've always placed you, even back when, you most likely may not know, but they aren't creative words, just facts, stories, we have a million to share. Actions and all of what the world, team, whoever sees and inflicts upon carries little to no weight. Part curiosity, part idle hands, part metaphorically, part desire to overcome, rid what must go, step up, say I'm sorry, not waste a single second longer, accept what it, get on with quality of life, as these lessons will prove invaluable as to intuition and perhaps how I'm more easily able to love and be loved. Us, trust, love, 2,4,7,3,5,8

What you see and what appears to be is opposite heart.

You may not hear my voice today…
Saying I love countless times everyday…
In your heart you know…
How I love you so…

When things don’t appear clear…
Listen closely… and a whisper you will hear!!!
I promise you… no need for fear!
My love is always near!!!!

I love you!!!
You make my heart smile…
