What Are The Early Stage Symptoms Of A Heart Attack?

One of the biggest killers in the US that effects both men and women is the heart attack. There are over 1 million recorded cases, and around 40% of them will prove fatal due to the fact that emergency treatment is not quick enough. For the lucky ones that do receive the emergency treatment required, the survival rate shoots up to 90%. The majority of hearts attacks are caused by ventricular fibrillation, which is when the heart muscles will randomly fire, and this causes the heart to flutter rather than beat resulting in limited or no blood flow. Ventricular fibrillation tends to happen in people with preexisting heart disease.

Do You Know How HIV Transmitted?


Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the virus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. HIV causes the failure of the immune system in the host person to such a level that it cannot defend itself from opportunistic infections and cancers. There are multiple ways for the transmission of this virus. HIV infection is caused by transmission of infected blood, unprotected sex with multiple partners, infected needles, breast milk and from pregnant mother to the unborn child. Its been 30 years since the inception of this disease, and unfortunately there is still no permanent cure of this disease. The only available medicines are antiretroviral medicines that are used to keep the viral load low in the blood stream and allow the immune system to rebuild itself. There are many myths about the transmission of HIV. HIV cannot be transmitted to any other person through sneezing, shaking hands, sharing clothes or by any casual contact with the infected user.
