Knowing the Signs of a Heart Attack

If you or someone you love is living with cardiovascular disease or is otherwise at a high risk of having a heart attack, it is important to know all of the signs and symptoms to look out for. Minutes and seconds count during this time, and being able to recognize the signs in yourself and in someone else could save a life. Keep reading to learn more about the signs of a heart attack and how participating in a Cardiovascular Disease Clinical Trial can help with the latest technology and research.

Early Heart Attack Signs

Pay attention to your body and call 911 if you have the following common symptoms of a heart attack:

• Chest discomfort. Most people having a heart attack feel discomfort in the center of the chest. It can last more than a few minutes, or it may go away and then return. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in the arms (one or both), back, neck, jaw, or stomach
• Shortness of breath. This can happen with or without chest discomfort.
• Other signs. Other possible signs include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, rapid or irregular heartbeat, feeling unusually tired, and feeling lightheaded

If you live with someone who has cardiovascular disease or is otherwise at a high risk of developing a heart attack, make sure you call 911 right away if they express any concern, complain of any of the above symptoms, are grasping their chest, or otherwise do not seem right.

What to Do If You Suspect a Heart Attack

If you suspect you are having a heart attack or suspect someone else is, it is important to call 911 as quickly as possible. Stay on the line with the operator and follow their instructions. Do not leave the person alone and monitor their consciousness.

If recommended or prescribed, take or chew aspirin or nitroglycerin while waiting for medical help to arrive. Sit or lie down in a position that feels comfortable. Do not attempt to drive yourself or someone else to the hospital if they are having a heart attack. Seconds matter, and it is important they receive care as quickly as possible in an ambulance.

Cardiovascular Disease Clinical Trial

If you have cardiovascular disease, having a heart attack is a very real possibility. Luckily, new investigational help is out there as part of our Cardiovascular Disease Clinical Trial. You can gain access to the latest, most cutting-edge research and technology surrounding cardiovascular disease with the help of heart experts.

Participants in our study will receive:

• No-cost health consultations and examinations by heart experts, paid for by the study
• No-cost lab reports, paid for by the study
• No-cost study-related medicines, paid for by the study
• Fair compensation to participants for their time and travel
