Heart Attack Sample Clauses

Heart Attack. Death of a portion of the heart muscle arising from inadequate blood supply to the relevant area. This diagnosis must be supported by three or more of the following five criteria which are consistent with a new heart attack: • History of typical chest pain; • New electrocardiogram (ECG) changes proving infarction; • Diagnostic elevation of cardiac enzyme CK- MB; • Diagnostic elevation of Troponin (T or I); • Left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50% measured 3 months or more after the event.

Heart Attack. The death of a portion of heart muscle, due to inadequate blood supply, that has resulted in all of the following evidence of acute myocardial infarction: i) typical chest pain ii) new characteristic electrocardiographic changes, and

Heart Attack. The first occurrence of heart attack or myocardial infarction which means death of heart muscle, due to inadequate blood supply, that has resulted in all of the following evidence of acute myocardial infarction: i. typical clinical symptoms (for example, characteristic chest pain); ii. new characteristic electrocardiographic changes; iii. the characteristic rise above accepted normal values of cardiac enzymes/markers such as CK-MB or Troponins recorded at the following levels or higher; Troponin T > 1.0 ng/ml AccuTnI > 0.5 ng/ml or equivalent threshold with other Troponin I methods; and the evidence must show a definite acute myocardial infarction. Diagnosis must be confirmed by a consultant cardiologist acceptable to the Company. i. angina; ii. other acute coronary syndromes, for example myocyte necrosis.

Heart Attack. The death of a portion of heart muscle (myocardium) resulting from a blockage of one or more coronary arteries.

Heart Attack. The first occurrence of an acute myocardial infarction where the following conditions are met: (i) The occurrence of typical chest pain, (ii) The occurrence of typical new acute infarction changes on the electrocardiograph progressing to the development of new pathological Q waves; and (iii) Elevation of cardiac Troponin to at least 3 times the upper limit of the normal reference range or an elevation in CK MB to at least 200% of the upper limit of the normal reference range.

Heart Attack. Dread Disease description The death of a portion of the heart muscle which results from inadequate blood supply to the relevant area. The diagnosis will be based on: The following are excluded: • Non-ST-segment (NSTEMI); A STEMI or ST-elevation myocardial infarction is caused by a sudden complete (100%) blockage of a heart artery (coronary artery). A non-STEM is usually caused by a severely narrowed artery but the artery is usually not completely blocked. The diagnosis is initially made by an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). • Elevation of Troponin I or T; Elevation of T or I is indicative of cardiac damage, but this can occur as a result of causes other than heart attack e.g. myocarditis, coronary artery spasm, severe cardiac failure, cardiac trauma from surgery etc. • Other acute Coronary Syndromes (e.g. stable/unstable Angina pectoris); and • a history of typical chest pain; • new characteristic electrocardiogram changes; and • elevation of infarction specific enzymes, Troponins or other biochemical markers. All three factors are required and confirmation in the affirmative is required on the provided Medical Report. DREAD DISEASE CATEGORIES EXCLUSION Angina, also known as angina pectoris, is chest pain or pressure, usually due to not enough blood flow to the heart muscle. Worsening angina attacks, sudden-onset angina at rest, and angina lasting more than 15 (fifteen) minutes are symptoms of unstable angina (usually grouped with similar conditions as the acute coronary syndrome). As these may precede a heart attack, they require urgent medical attention and are, in general, treated in similar fashion to myocardial infarction. • Silent myocardial infarction. "Silent" myocardial infarctions can happen without any symptoms at all. These cases can be discovered later on electrocardiograms, using blood enzyme tests or at autopsy after a person has died. No benefit is payable if a claim for Coronary Artery (bypass) Surgery or a Heart Transplant has been previously admitted in respect of the Policyholder.

Heart Attack. An Acute Myocardial Infarction resulting in the death of a portion of the heart muscle (myocar- dium) due to a blockage of one or more coronary arteries and resulting in the loss of the normal function of the heart. The Diagnosis must be made by a Legally Qualified Physician board certified in Cardiology and based on both
