Know the Signs of a Heart Attack and Stroke
Heart Attack (and Stroke) are Emergencies.
Every minute counts.
Knowing the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and stroke could save your life or the life of a loved one.
Symptoms? Call 911!
If you experience symptoms, call 911 and have emergency personnel get you to the hospital - they are experts in managing emergencies and have the knowledge and equipment needed to begin treatment of your heart. They maintain two-way communication with the Emergency Department, so that care can be continued as soon as you arrive at the hospital.
