The Mayo Clinic, the American Medical Research Organization, has revealed four triggers for a potentially fatal coronary artery spasm that leads to heart attacks.
The Express quoted the organization as saying, “Cramping can lead to chest pain and a heart attack. People who suffer from variable angina do not necessarily suffer from high cholesterol or high blood pressure, while cramping slows or stops the flow of blood through the arteries, and thus reduces it. "From the blood supply to the heart and death and is more common among people between the ages of 40 and 70 years, or it is a genetic condition."
The organization considered that smoking, exposure to cold weather, severe emotional stress, and the use of stimulant and illegal drugs such as amphetamine and cocaine are all major triggers for coronary artery spasm.
The organization pointed out that nitrates are the main treatment for a person with variable angina, which is used to prevent cramps and relieve chest pain. Calcium channel blockers help relax the arteries and reduce spasms, while statins help prevent more of them.
According to the Mayo Clinic, coronary artery stenosis is a temporary and sudden narrowing of one or more coronary arteries.
