R.J. Davis, MD - Heart Attacks
Q: Is it possible to make a complete recovery from heart disease?
A: Medical technology and new drug treatments make a complete recovery from heart disease a possibility.
No matter what treatment is chosen for a heart-attack victim, speed is crucial to the patient’s survival and long-term success because when a heart attack occurs, part of the heart muscle begins to die. Limiting the amount of muscle injury and the size of the heart attack determines the short and long-term outcome.
Responding quickly to the
symptoms of heart attack is of critical importance.
These symptoms include:
• chest pain or pressure below the breastbone;
• associated neck, jaw and arm discomfort;
• nausea;
• sweating;
• light-headedness;
• shortness of breath; and
• overwhelming weakness.
Prompt response in calling an ambulance or having someone drive a person to the emergency room greatly increases the chances for recovery.
