A heart attack occurs when an artery supplying blood to the heart is blocked, often due to plaque buildup, leading to serious damage if not treated quickly. Symptoms include chest pain, upper body discomfort, shortness of breath, and fatigue, with prompt emergency care critical for survival. Preventive measures and maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle are essential, particularly as heart disease is a leading cause of death.

2. WHAT IS A HEART ATTACK?
A heart attack occurs when an artery that sends blood and oxygen to the heart
is blocked. This blockage is typically caused by fatty, cholesterol-containing
deposits that build up over time and form plaques in the heart's arteries. If one
of these plaques ruptures, a blood clot can form at the site. The clot can then
fully block the artery, cutting off blood flow to part of the heart muscle. This
lack of blood and oxygen causes the heart muscle to begin dying.
A heart attack is a serious medical emergency that requires fast treatment to
minimize heart damage. Being able to quickly recognize the symptoms and get
emergency care can save your life.

3. SOME OF THE MOST COMMON SYMPTOMS OF
A HEART ATTACK
Chest pain or discomfort that feels like pressure, tightness, or
squeezing. This is often the most recognizable symptom.
Upper body discomfort in the shoulders, arms, back, neck, jaw, or upper
belly.
Shortness of breath, which often comes along with chest discomfort.
Nausea, vomiting, heartburn, or indigestion.
Cold sweat and clammy skin.
Fatigue, lightheadedness, or dizziness.
Every cell in the human body gets blood from the heart
except for the cornea.

4. The symptoms of a heart attack can vary quite a bit from person to
person. Don't expect them to look exactly as described.
Pay attention to any unexplained discomfort or pain.
Women are more likely to have a typical heart attack symptoms
like sharp, sudden pain in the arm or back. Or they may only feel
nauseous, fatigued, and short of breath.
Some heart attacks strike suddenly with no warning signs. But for
many people, recurring chest pain called angina leading up to a
heart attack may be an early clue.
NOT ALL PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR SYMPTOMS !
A HUMAN HEART BEATS ABOUT 1,15,000 TIMES EACH DAY AND
PUMPS ABOUT 2,000 GALLONS OF BLOOD EVERY DAY.

5. Take nitroglycerin if you have been prescribed it by a doctor.
Take aspirin if told to do so by 112 operators or medical staff.
Have someone drive you to the hospital right away. Only drive
yourself as an absolute last resort.
Do not delay! Even if you're unsure if it's a heart attack, it's always
best to call emergency services.
If you think you or someone else may be having a heart attack,
immediately call 112 or 100. Every minute counts when a heart attack is
happening. Other steps you should take:
WHEN TO SEEK EMERGENCY CARE?
MORE HEART ATTACKS HAPPEN ON A MONDAY THAN ANY
OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK.

6. First, call 112 or your local emergency number.
Check if the person is breathing and has a pulse.
If there is no breathing or pulse, perform CPR if you know how. Push
hard and fast on the chest to mimic heartbeat.
Those not trained in CPR should do hands-only chest compressions
until help arrives.
If trained in CPR, start with 30 chest compressions before giving 2
rescue breaths.
