Is persistent dizziness a heart attack?

Whether persistent dizziness is a heart attack needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Heart disease can cause dizziness, such as insufficient blood pumping to the brain, which can lead to dizziness. Heart valve problems can also cause dizziness. In addition, side effects of certain heart drugs can also cause dizziness. Although heart disease can cause dizziness, stenosis or obstruction of neck or vertebral arteries, Meniere's disease, anemia, nervous system problems, etc. can also cause dizziness. If the patient has heart disease detected by cardiac ultrasound, MRI, etc., dizziness may be caused by heart disease. If no heart problem is found, dizziness caused by heart disease can be ruled out and other causes need to be considered.
