Question 1

what is the widowmaker heart attack survival rate?

Accepted Answer

Heart attack: That depends on how much muscle is damaged. If 40% or more of the heart muscle is damaged, the mortality is greater than 50% from heart failure. But that assumes the person gets past the first eight hours during death rate is as high as 25% from arrhythmias.

Question 2

what's the survival rate on someone that has a heart attack and receives cpr?

Accepted Answer

Depends: How long did they receive cpr? How long before the rhythm was restored?

Question 3

what you should do for survival incase of heart attack when you are all alone & without medicine or assistace?

Accepted Answer

Heart attack: First you need good luck!
you may try to give a series of sharp, hard coughs. Theoretically, this increases blood pressure to the coronary arteries temporarily, and may aid in dislodging a flow obstructing blood clot. I will finish with may usual advice: prevent so you don't need to fix!

Question 4

atfer massive heart attack angioplasty lad 100% done for female 58 yrs not enough time to get eco and blood test  then hat will be her survival chance?

Accepted Answer

Good: But depends on other risk factors:
diabetes, smoking, lipids, weight., and residual cardiac function.
She should work on risk reduction as soon as she can.

Question 5

what are the chances of survival after a massive heart attack followed by angioplasty that causes a cardiac arrest? now ef 52%, bp 100/70 and pulse 68

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are a lot of variables that determine prognosis like;
time from when the heart attack started to when the angioplasty was done
the ef -52% is good
excercise capacity
symptom status
it would be important to be on a medical regimen to prevent a recurrence and then to try and go to cardiac rehab.

Question 6

friend had a massive heart attack- no cpr for at least a few minutes- has  kidney problems and  infection- getting a trachea- survival? full recovery?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Is the brain intact?
If arrest and no cpr, that may be the limiting organ.
Kidney failure may recover, pneumonia may clear with tracheostomy and antibiotics.
Baseline function is also relevant for recovery.

Question 7

if a 67 year old female with high blood pressure, sugar, and copd and a history of two hemmoragic strokes in her brain 10 years ago suffered a minor heart attack because fluid was leaking out of her heart, what is the chance of survival if stented

Accepted Answer

Cardiac stenting: If this patient's chronic medical problems are well managed, the risk of angioplasty with a stent is quite low. She would need to consult with her cardiologist to determine if a stent is indicated.

Question 8

how high does your heart rate need to be before you get a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Varies: If you have normal arteries, no heart rate will cause a myocardial infarction ("heart attack") but rare conditions (wpw etc) can cause very rapid heart rates (eg > 220) that  will pump ineffectively because of inadequate filling time. If there's blockage, the hr that is harmful (by increasing myocardial oxygen consumption) will depend on severity and location, age, contractility, and wall stress.

Question 9

does a really fast heart rate cause a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

No: A fast heart should be investigated. It can be serious and be related to a clot in the lungs, a heart attack, or dehydration.

Question 10

could you have a normal pulse rate during a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Some types of heart attacks can actually cause a low pulse rate. It depends on which part of the heart is damaged during the heart attack.
