“Yuri’s heart stopped in the ambulance tonight,” Shatunov’s spokesman Arkady Kudriashov told TASS.

According to medical sources, the agency found that Yuri Shatunov died in the Domodedovo hospital in the Moscow region due to a heart attack.

Heart attack – what is it?

Heart attackalso called heart attack is a state of myocardial ischemia that results in myocardial necrosis and, ultimately, death of the myocardium.

The immediate cause of a heart attack is rupture or hemorrhage into the plaque, or the build-up of a blood clot on its surface. Scale builds up in the blocked part of the artery and turns into a clot. This narrows the artery and disrupts its capacity. The heart muscle does not get enough blood, becomes ischemic, hypoxic and dies. The size of the myocardial infarction depends on the size of the vessel lumen at the site where it obstructs further blood flow. The walls of the arteries can die partially or completely – then we are talking about full-sided or incomplete infarction.

Disruption of blood flow may be due to:

1. long-term strong vasoconstriction under the influence of strong emotional stress,
2. blockage as a result of the so-called embolic material downstream of the blood (e.g. fragment of a clot, clumps of fat cells),
3. formation of a clot at a given site, usually as a result of previously developed atherosclerotic lesions.

Heart attack – symptoms

The attack usually occurs after exercise or under severe stress. The symptoms usually last more than 20 minutes and do not disappear after rest or after taking nitroglycerin. A heart attack is most often associated with a stinging sensation in the chest. The symptoms of a heart attack, however, may be ambiguous and difficult to recognize, especially in women.

What should worry us?

1. Pain behind the breastbone Feeling of pain, weight, pressure, crushing or a burning sensation, sometimes difficult to identify discomfort. May radiate to the neck, jaw, one or both shoulders / arms, to the upper abdomen, rarely to the interscapular region
2. Dyspnoea This symptom tends to appear in older people. It is caused by the fact that the tissues do not receive enough oxygen during the infarction, which causes the need for increased ventilation of the lungs.
3. Sweating. The sweat that occurs after a heart attack is usually sticky. This reaction is due to the fact that very often your body temperature rises during a heart attack. Usually it reaches 38,5 ° C, and sometimes even 39 ° C.
4. Palpitations. Tachycardia, which is an increase in the heart rate above 100 beats per minute. Apart from tachycardia, sometimes there are also other cardiac arrhythmias, including the inverse disorder bradycardia (lowering the heart rate below 50 beats per minute).
5. Weakness.
6. Severe stomach pain with vomiting and / or nausea.
7. Dizziness.
8. Fainting or loss of consciousness.
9. Pale or red skin.
10. Increase in body temperature.
