In Tuesday's Healthy U, Nurse practitioner Victoria Burk, talked about what you should look for to detect heat disease.

There are three types of Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Unstable angina, chest pain or discomfort with very little activity can lead to a heart attack.

A heart attack is when the heart muscle is damaged but it is not necessarily fatal.

Sudden Cardiac Death is fatal because of the location and how long that part of the heart goes without oxygenated blood.

Someone who is more likely to have or develop Coronary Artery Disease is someone who has a family history, older people, high fat diet, not exercising, being overweight, using tobacco, high blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal cholesterol levels.

The symptoms of ACS are: pain or discomfort in chest, neck, jaw, arms, shortness of breath,nausea, sweating, dizziness and fatigue.

Doctors can detect heart disease by catheterization.

Catheterization is an x-ray picture of the arteries.

Echocardiogram ultrasound that shows shape and size of your heart and how the heart beats

Stress test exercise using treadmill or bike shows changes in the heart during exercise.

A 64 Slice CT Scanner is offered at University Hospital.

It allows the doctor to see small vessels.

Heart disease is treatable with medicine like aspirin, Plavix or Statin. They help reduce LDL cholesterol. Lifestyle changes such as eating healthy, no smoking and a strong exercise routine also help fight heart disease.
