Act in Time to Heart Attack Signs
Item #56-042N, September 2001

The dramatic, moving stories of three heart attack survivors and their families illustrate the importance of heeding heart attack warning signs and seeking medical care quickly. They vividly convey how a real heart attack may differ from the stereotypical "movie heart attack" and how getting immediate treatment can save lives. The warm and sympathetic narration by an emergency department physician explains what a heart attack is, the treatments that can save lives if given quickly, why many heart attack victims delay seeking care, and how to make a heart attack survival plan. Useful for health fairs, medical waiting rooms, community groups, and home viewing.

  • see im 22 and i have been having chest pains for about 6 months. it was so severe that i had a chest X-Ray taken and my doctor said it looked fine.

    but last night it hit me hard and i was dizzy, had back pain and wasnt sweating but i was shaking cause i was scared. i didnt call 911 and it just kinda went away. it still hurts a bit but this has been going on for 6 months. im a bit over weight for my age and height by about 10 to 15 lbs but nothing more. i think ill go back to my doctor.

  • if u get a heart attack... that means ur name was written in the Death note :D

  • I get some massive chest pains, but i'm not sure if its just heart burn...

    the last time it happened it was right after having some spicy hot sauce...

    but its seriously so bad, that it brings me to my knees in pain... Is that normal for heart burn?

  • Best heart attack educational video on Youtube. Wish I had seen it before the heart attack.
