How's the chance of survival from heart attacks?!


Question: Approximately 25% of patients die. Usually, it's because they are in denial or don't recognize the chest pain as cardiac related. They try to convince themselves that it's heartburn, a pulled muscle or whatever - anything but a heart attack. Men are more likely to do this. In one study of heart attack victims, the average patient delayed up to FOUR HOURS after the onset of symptoms before presenting to the ER, or calling their doctor or 911. Patients who recognize the symptoms and seek early medical attention usually do quite well. The rule in medicine is, "Time is muscle." The longer you delay, the more damage or cell death occurs - and the poorer the recovery.
