Las diferencias entre infarto y paro cardíaco
El ataque cardíaco y el paro cardíaco repentino son emergencias médicas graves, pero no son lo mismo. Un ataque cardíaco ocurre cuando se bloquea el flujo de sangre al corazón. Un paro cardíaco ocurre cuando el corazón deja de latir repentinamente. La única forma de salvar la vida de una persona es reiniciar el corazón mediante RCP y un DEA. En este episodio de House Calls: Real Docs, Real Talk, el Dr. Eduardo Sánchez explica qué le sucede al corazón durante un ataque cardíaco, en qué se diferencian el paro cardíaco y el ataque cardíaco y qué hacer en caso de cualquiera de las emergencias.
Los síntomas de un ataque cardíaco pueden ser diferentes en las mujeres
Los signos de un ataque cardíaco son diferentes para las mujeres. Al igual que ocurre con los hombres, el síntoma de ataque cardíaco más común en las mujeres es dolor o malestar en el pecho. Pero las mujeres pueden experimentar otros síntomas que normalmente están menos asociados con un ataque cardíaco, como dificultad para respirar, náuseas/vómitos y dolor de espalda o mandíbula. También es más probable que las mujeres ignoren sus síntomas. El Dr. Eduardo Sánchez comparte lo que debes saber sobre los ataques cardíacos en hombres y mujeres.
