What really is a heart attack? Dr. Krock breaks What really is a heart attack? 

Dr. Krock breaks it down in simple terms:
A heart attack is a plumbing emergency, the heart isn’t getting enough blood (and oxygen) because of a blockage or partial blockage. When the heart muscle struggles, you can feel chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fatigue.

But here’s the important part:
✔️ A heart attack doesn’t always cause chest pain.
✔️ Blood tests like Troponin confirm if the heart muscle is being damaged from lack of blood flow.

Understanding the difference can save lives.

A stroke is not a heart attack. A stroke is a blo A stroke is not a heart attack.

A stroke is a blood flow problem to the brain, while a heart attack is a blood flow problem to the heart. Different organs, same emergency.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and poor lifestyle habits increase your risk for both.

If you notice sudden speech problems, weakness on one side, or confusion, seek emergency care immediately. Time matters.

Medicine is what I do. But taking care of my own h Medicine is what I do.
But taking care of my own heart is how I live.

Most of my “fun” activities - skiing, tennis, workouts - happen to be heart healthy.

Not because they have to be… but because you can build a life that supports your health and still enjoy it.

Taking care of your heart doesn’t mean sitting on the sidelines.
It means building stamina for the life you want to live.
“I was told it would take 6–9 months to feel bette “I was told it would take 6–9 months to feel better.
I felt better in two weeks.”

This week we discussed Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) — an advanced option for certain patients with chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction who are still symptomatic despite medication.

In one case:
EF improved from 30% to 50%.
Breathing improved.
Energy returned.
Life resumed.

CCM isn’t for everyone. Patient selection matters.
But for the right heart failure patient, it can significantly improve quality of life and help reduce hospitalizations.

If you have heart failure and still feel limited, it may be time to ask about advanced treatment options.

What is heart failure? Heart failure does NOT mean What is heart failure?
Heart failure does NOT mean your heart has stopped. It means the heart isn’t pumping or relaxing well enough to supply your body with the blood it needs.
There is a wide spectrum. Some cases are mild and manageable for years. Others are more severe and require advanced treatment.
The heart must squeeze and relax properly. When either phase doesn’t function efficiently, we call it heart failure.
The good news? With early diagnosis and proper treatment, many patients live long, active lives.
