How do you survive a heart attack? Fast action is your best weapon against a heart attack. Why? Because clot-busting drugs and other artery-opening treatments
can stop a heart attack in its tracks. They can prevent or limit damage
to the heartbut they need to be given immediately after symptoms
begin. The sooner they are started, the more good they will doand the
greater the chances are for survival and a full recovery. To be most
effective, they need to be given ideally within 1 hour of the start of
heart attack symptoms.
