 Heart Attack, Stroke and Cardiac Arrest Warning Signs

Coronary heart disease is America's number 1 killer. That's why it's so important to reduce your risk factors, know the warning signs, and know how to respond quickly and properly if warning signs occur. With heart conditions, every second counts. Some heart attacks are intense and come suddenly and people know what's happening. Most heart attacks, however, start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often, people aren't sure what's wrong and wait too long before getting help. For more information on how to identify and act upon warning signs, click here.
