A missed appointment in Naples, the video message in which Nanni Moretti, suffering from a heart attack, apologizes and reassures about his condition (“I’ll be better, I’ll be back soon”), the apprehension of the world of cinema, dampened in part by the fact that yesterday the director was already operational again and also managed to participate in the screening of the film ‘Vittoria’, of which he is the producer with his Sacher Film. But what happens after a heart attack? What makes the difference? The first ‘sliding door’ is timely arrival in hospital, because “time is ‘muscle'”, it is the heart that is saved, say cardiologists. This, explains Fabrizio Oliva, president of the National Association of hospital cardiologists (Anmco), to Adnkronos Health, “is a time-dependent disease, so the sooner we manage to cure it, to reopen that diseased vessel, the greater the advantage. And “It is clear that the way in which one leaves the hospital is influenced by the fact of arriving promptly at the hospital, for treatment, when one suspects that one has a myocardial infarction.”
“The sooner you arrive, the sooner certain therapies are implemented and clearly more of the heart is saved, more of the cardiac muscle is saved”, reiterates Oliva, who also gives some data to give an idea: “When a myocardial infarction is complicated by a cardiac, mortality is 3 times higher. So the central point is that it is essential to arrive early. Then, once the patient is discharged, he must follow correct lifestyle habits after a myocardial infarction: therefore diet, movement, avoidance. to become overweight, not to smoke if you used to smoke, and then follow the therapies, because unfortunately the problem is that often patients, after being discharged, lose their therapies along the way.” (continued)
