Medication or surgery. It is very delicate due to the possible release of clots that could cause a stroke or Trans Ischemic Attack (Little stroke)

I've never heard of this, so first of all my thoughts are with your family.  I knew strokes, heart attacks and those types of things didn't only happen to "older" people anymore, but that they were also happening to people as young as their 20's.  I had absolutely no idea, I am going to try to look this up tho, as I have two young children.  Were there any symptoms, something long coming that didn't get noticed because it was also considered a normal thing?  I hope he stays strong and has a great turn around back to good health.

go to the Dr. it could be a heart attack!

CORONARY THROMBOSIS \n\nThis is a blood clot that goes into one of the 5 main coronary arteries that feed the heart itself.  \nThis would cause a heart attack or "Myocardial infarction" by blocking the blood flow to the heart muscle.

I think you have the term wrong.  \n\nParadox is something that seems to be contradictory, even though it may be true.\nInfarction is the death of tissue from being deprived of oxygen rich blood.\n\nMaybe you mean myocardial infarction, which is a heart attack.

The pain varies .If you even think there is a chance of heart problems seek medical attention ASAP .

Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) become hardened and narrowed. The arteries harden and narrow due to buildup of a material called plaque (plak) on their inner walls. The buildup of plaque is known as atherosclerosis (ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). As the plaque increases in size, the insides of the coronary arteries get narrower and less blood can flow through them. Eventually, blood flow to the heart muscle is reduced, and, because blood carries much-needed oxygen, the heart muscle is not able to receive the amount of oxygen it needs. Reduced or cutoff blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle can result in:\n\n    * Angina (AN-ji-na or an-JI-na). Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart does not get enough blood.\n    * Heart attack. A heart attack happens when a blood clot develops at the site of plaque in a coronary artery and suddenly cuts off most or all blood supply to that part of the heart muscle. Cells in the heart muscle begin to die if they do not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. This can cause permanent damage to the heart muscle.\n\nOver time, CAD can weaken the heart muscle and contribute to:\n\n    * Heart failure. In heart failure, the heart can’t pump blood effectively to the rest of the body. Heart failure does not mean that the heart has stopped or is about to stop. Instead, it means that the heart is failing to pump blood the way that it should.\n    * Arrhythmias (a-RITH-me-as). Arrhythmias are changes in the normal beating rhythm of the heart. Some can be quite serious.\n\nCAD is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women.

Ischemia first of all refers to:Local anemia due to mechanical obstruction (mainly arterial narrowing) of the blood supply.\nSo nonischemic would refer to a cardiac event that is NOT due to ischemia.\n\nNow in plain English: if you had a heart attack recently, and received this diagnosis, your heart attack was due to something other than blood stoppage due to narrow blood vessels. It's always prudent to examine why the event occurred and then treat, repair, prevent, etc. and improve health.  \n\nI wish good health and successful treatment.

The heart IS a muscle, but a heart attack isn't a cramp like you would get in say a leg muscle. \n A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, refers to the death of a certain segment of the heart muscle (myocardium).  It's usually the result of a complete blockage in one of the main coronary arteries or a branch which supplies oxygentated blood to the heart muscle.  The main cause of myocardial infarction is atherosclerosis (the build up of plaque on the inside of the blood vessels due to fat substances, cholesterol, calcium and other substances)  in the coronary arteries which results in impaired contractility of the heart muscle within seconds, and is initially restricted to the affected segment.\n\nThe myocardial ischemia or infarction begins in the endocardium (the inner lining of the heart) and spreads to the epicardium (the outer lining of the heart). Irreversible heart damage will occur if the blockage is complete for at least 15-20 minutes. Irreversible damage occurs maximally in the area at risk, and when the occlusion is maintained for 4-6 hours. Most of the damage occurs in the first 2-3 hours.  Restoration of flow within the first 4-5 hours is associated with salvage of the heart muscle, but the salvage is greater if flow is restored in the first 1-2 hours.\n\nA major determinant of death and illness is the size of the infarct. Increasing the oxygen supply to the involved site of blockage by coronary reperfusion can be done through use of certain medications and angioplasty, stents or artherectomy.\n\nAddendum: \n(Impaired contractility means a muscle is unable to contract the way it should or can't contract at all.)\n\nCramps:\nA muscle cramp is an involuntary, painful CONTRACTION of the muscles which produce a hard, bulging muscle. Muscle twitching, also called fasciculation is the result of spontaneous local muscle contractions that are involuntary. The muscle cramp usually only affects the individual muscle groups connected to a particular motor neuron.  Some common causes of cramps are:\n\nMuscle fatigue\nHeavy exercise \nDehydration \nPregnancy \nHeat Cramps\n\nThere may be some temporary loss of circulation to the muscle group that is cramped because of muscle contraction, but there is NO death of tissue due to a clot or embolus.  There are no clots or emboli involved in a cramp therefore they aren't the same as an infarction (as explained in the answer below).     :-)

You mean "Transient Ischemic Attacks".  These are sometimes called "mini-strokes" by some people.  They are short lasting episodes where small parts of the brain do not receive enough oxygen.  I will find a good article for you and re-post it.\n\nHere we go - you can learn more here:\nhttp://www.healthcomm.com/resources/imc/OneMedicineCons/ConsConditions/StrokeTransientcc.html

They are not the same.\n\nCardiac arrest is when a heart stops beating / contracting. That is when you give a CPR and either shock the heart or give appropriate drugs to treat it.\n\nHeart attack is when the heart muscles die as a result of not getting enough blood supply. Here you give drugs directed to improve the blood supply of the heart. In most cases the heart keeps beating after the heart attack. But rarely, if many of the muscle fibers are dead, the person's heart stops beating too. In those cases, cardiac arrest happens as a result of heart attack.\n\nHope its clear to you now.
