MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A silent heart attack is a heart attack that has few, if any, symptoms or has symptoms not recognized as a heart attack. A silent heart attack might not cause chest pain or shortness of breath, which are typically associated with a heart attack.

Detailed explanation-2: -The technical term for a “mini” heart attack is a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). While the term “mini” heart attack may sound as though it is less severe than other types of heart attack, this condition is still serious and constitutes a medical emergency.

Detailed explanation-3: -High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because most people who have it don’t have any symptoms. And that silence can be deadly. High blood pressure can lead to a host of serious problems, including heart attack, heart failure and stroke.
