Les crises cardiaques ne se manifestent pas toujours de la même manière, et reconnaître tôt les signes avant-coureurs peut sauver une vie.   

 

Cette courte vidéo animée, développée avec les cardiologues Prof. Gilles Montalescot et Prof. Marco Valgimigli, explique les symptômes d’une crise cardiaque, pourquoi chaque minute compte, et que faire si vous ou une personne proche ressentez une gêne thoracique inhabituelle.  

 

La vidéo comprend un témoignage de patient et met en lumière l’impact émotionnel d’une crise cardiaque ainsi que l’importance d’agir rapidement et d’appeler les services d’urgence.

Points essentiels cliniques 

  • Les symptômes de crise cardiaque se manifestent souvent dans la poitrine et peuvent irradier vers le bras gauche ou le cou, mais ils varient largement d’une personne à l’autre.
  • Les femmes, les personnes âgées et les individus atteints de diabète ou de maladie rénale sont plus susceptibles de présenter des symptômes moins courants.
  • Une seconde crise cardiaque peut se manifester différemment, il est donc important de prêter attention à toute sensation ou gêne inhabituelle dans la poitrine.
  • Si une sensation inhabituelle ou inquiétante persiste dans votre poitrine plus de quelques minutes, appelez immédiatement les services d’urgence, car agir vite peut sauver votre cœur et votre vie. 
  • Avoir déjà eu une crise cardiaque augmente le risque d’en avoir une autre, il est donc essentiel de reconnaître rapidement les symptômes et de suivre votre plan de soins ainsi que les changements de mode de vie.
  • Il est normal de se sentir effrayé, inquiet ou déprimé après une crise cardiaque ; parler à votre médecin, à votre famille ou à un groupe de soutien peut faciliter la récupération et vous redonner confiance.
  • Sensibiliser aux symptômes initiaux et récurrents de l’infarctus du myocarde (IDM)
  • Améliorer la reconnaissance et la réaction rapide aux IDM initiaux et récurrents
  • Mieux comprendre les facteurs de risque de l’IDM initial et récurrent
  • Aborder l’impact psychologique du premier IDM
