Survival is the rule in most heart attacks.
The first step in HEART ATTACK TREATMENT is to get
to a hospital emergency department. From here you will be stabilized
prior to transfer to an intensive care unit where you will
receive oxygen, pain killers, blood pressure control
and clot busting medication or vessel stents to open back the blocked blood vessels.
Initially you will be on strict bed rest. By day 2 you may be allowed to sit out from
bed and by day 5 to walk around and return to work in one to two months.
To prevent heart attacks, a healthy lifestyle with exercise
and low salt, sugar and fat diet is the first line of defense.
Failing that, blood pressure and cholesterol control with medication
can prevent both a heart attack and stroke.
