Understand the warning signs early:
A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, happens when a part of the heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood.
The more time that passes without treatment to restore the blood flow, the greater the damage to the heart muscle. Hence time to treatment is crucial.
Over 50% of the heart attack deaths occur before the person reaches hospital and almost 25% of people who die from a heart attack die within one hour of their first warning symptom.
Warning symptoms vary from person to person and they may not always be sudden or severe. Although chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom, some people will not experience chest pain which is termed as ‘Silent Heart Attack’.
| Symptoms may include pain, pressure, heaviness or tightness in one or more parts of theupper body including | Other symptoms |
|---|---|
| Chest | Nausea |
| Neck | Shortness of breath |
| Lower Jaw | Dizziness |
| Arm(s) | Cold sweat |
| Shoulder(s) or Back | Loss of consciousness |
Knowing the warning signs of heart attack and acting quickly can reduce damage to your heart and increase your chance of survival.

What needs to be done if one has a heart attack?
- Primary goal in Heart attack is to restore the blood flow by opening the occluded artery within 60-90 minutes after arrival to the hospital. This can be achieved by Thrombolysis or Primary angioplasty.
- In thrombolysis, clot dissolving medications will be given to lyse the clot and restore normal blood flow.
- In Primary angioplasty, the blocked artery is opened by a balloon and a stent is inserted to restore normal blood flow.
- Primary angioplasty is the best choice to survive a heart attack. This procedure is done in hospitals equipped with Cath lab and performed by the Interventional Cardiologist.
- JSS Hospital Cardiac Care Center provides 24×7 services for Primary angioplasty and has facilities for comprehensive management of Heart Attack.
