Description

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health, designed this Web page as part of a campaign to increase Americans' awareness of the need to act fast when someone may be having a heart attack. Fast action can save lives and limit damage to the heart. Called "Act In Time To Heart Attack Signs," the campaign involves a call to action that urges physicians to educate their patients about heart attack risk, warning signs, and survival. The campaign offers educational materials for both the public and health care professionals.
