Man holds his chest due to angina or heart attack
Angina or heart attack. Computer artwork of a man clutching his chest during angina pectoris or a heart attack. The image shows the heart muscle glowing yellow indicating pain. Angina is a feeling of severe pain and constriction in the chest. The pain spreads to the left shoulder and arm as in a heart attack. Both conditions are caused by a deficiency in the oxygen supply to the heart muscle. The lack of oxygen is usually caused by obstruction of the coronary arteries due to the formation of fatty atheroma plaques within them (atherosclerosis). In a heart attack the heart muscle is damaged, which can be fatal. Both conditions may require drugs or surgery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful computer artwork captures the intense pain and fear experienced by a man suffering from angina or a heart attack. The image depicts him clutching his chest, highlighting the agony caused by these conditions. The glowing yellow color emanating from his heart muscle symbolizes the excruciating pain he endures. Angina pectoris is characterized by severe chest pain and constriction that often radiates to the left shoulder and arm, mimicking symptoms of a heart attack. Both conditions result from an insufficient oxygen supply to the heart muscle, typically due to blockage in the coronary arteries caused by fatty plaques known as atheroma (atherosclerosis). The consequences can be dire; during a heart attack, irreversible damage occurs in the heart muscle which may prove fatal. Effective treatment for both angina and heart attacks usually involves medication or surgical intervention. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to prioritize our cardiovascular health. It underscores the importance of recognizing initial symptoms such as chest pain and seeking prompt medical attention. Science Photo Library has skillfully captured this moment, shedding light on these debilitating cardiac conditions while emphasizing their significance within healthcare practice.
