Angina or heart attack
MODEL RELEASED. Angina or heart attack. Man clutching his chest in pain due to angina or a heart attack (myocardial infarction). The severe chest pain characteristic of both conditions is caused by a lack of blood, and consequently oxygen, to the muscle of the heart. Restricted coronary blood supply is commonly due to the narrowing of coronary arteries by fat deposits, known as atherosclerosis. Angina can be brought on by exertion or stress, and may be relieved by rest. A heart attack causes lasting damage to heart muscle, and can be fatal. Both conditions may require drugs and surgery

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a moment of intense pain and distress as a man clutches his chest, depicting the debilitating effects of angina or a heart attack. The excruciating chest pain experienced in both conditions is caused by insufficient blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle. This restricted coronary blood supply often occurs due to the narrowing of arteries from fatty deposits known as atherosclerosis. Angina can be triggered by physical exertion or stress but may subside with rest. On the other hand, a heart attack inflicts lasting damage on the heart muscle and can even prove fatal. Both conditions typically necessitate medical intervention involving drugs and surgery. The image portrays an individual overwhelmed by discomfort while situated at their workplace desk amidst files, folders, and paperwork. It serves as a stark reminder that cardiac ailments can strike anyone, regardless of their environment or occupation. The photograph emphasizes how overworking oneself or succumbing to excessive stress can contribute to these life-threatening situations. This powerful visual representation underscores the importance of prioritizing one's health amidst demanding work environments and encourages individuals to seek proper medical care when experiencing symptoms related to angina or heart attacks.
