Silent Heart Attacks: The Heart Attacks Most People Never See Coming

Описание: When you think of a heart attack, you probably imagine sudden chest pain on the left side, pain radiating to the arm or jaw, shortness of breath, nausea, or breaking out in a cold sweat. And while those classic symptoms do happen, they don’t tell the whole story.

According to the American Heart Association, nearly 1 in 5 heart attacks are “silent” — meaning the symptoms are vague, atypical, or go completely unrecognized.

In this video, Dr. Siddiqui, board-certified cardiologist with a focus on cardiovascular longevity, prevention, and integrative cardiology, explains:
What silent heart attacks are and how they happen
Why the mechanism of heart injury is the same, even when symptoms are different
How silent heart attacks are often discovered later on EKGs or imaging
Real patient cases where symptoms were mistaken for fatigue or indigestion
Why silent heart attacks increase the risk of heart failure, especially in younger patients

You’ll also learn which groups are at higher risk, including:
-People with diabetes
-Women, who often experience atypical symptoms
-Older adults
-Individuals with multiple cardiovascular risk factors

Subtle warning signs may include persistent fatigue, indigestion-like chest discomfort, jaw, neck, or back pain, nausea, reduced exercise tolerance, or getting short of breath doing activities that used to be easy.

The key thing to watch for is a change from your normal baseline that doesn’t go away.
This video also covers the importance of addressing modifiable risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, inactivity, alcohol use, and chronic stress — and why knowing your numbers gives you the greatest leverage over your heart health.
