These 4 Things Happen Right Before a Heart Attack
By S.A. Nickerson
Every year, approximately 785,000 Americans suffer a first heart
attack. And 470,000 who've already had one or more heart attacks have
another one. The scary thing is that 25 percent of ALL heart attacks
happen "silently," without clear or obvious symptoms.
Even when symptoms occur, they can be so mild or vague, most
people don't even realize it's heart-related (unless they are made
aware). Four things in particular are the most sinister signs of a
silent heart attack.
These four things are the focus of a recent video presentation by renowned cardiovascular expert Dr. Chauncey Crandall: 4 Things You'll Feel Right Before a Heart Attack: A Special Newsmax Heart Health Report.
According to Dr. Crandall, the reason silent heart attacks go
untreated is because people don't even notice the symptoms, so he
created a special video presentation to show the four things to look for
that may be a silent warning — before it's too late to intervene and survive the damage.
Timing is the most critical factor for survival. Statistics show a
clear link between delay in treatment and disability or death — the
amount of time that elapses between the first sign of symptoms and
receiving care.
That's why knowing what to look for in terms of symptoms is
critical, especially when they're the kind that most people don't think
to associate with a heart attack — like the four things in Dr.
Crandall's video, 4 Things You'll Feel Right Before a Heart Attack: A Special Newsmax Heart Health Report.
Originally developed as an educational tool, this video quickly
went viral, surpassing five million viewers in just a few short months.
Newsmax Health Publisher Travis Davis attributes the viral
sensation to the fact that the content hits close to home for so many
Americans. According to Davis, "Dr. Crandall tells the real-life story
of a 'widow-maker' heart attack that did not have to happen. It's scary
but eye-opening, because he outlines what could have been done to
actually prevent this."
Dr. Crandall, chief of the cardiac transplant program at the
esteemed Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Florida, practices on the
front lines of interventional, vascular, and transplant cardiology.
Years of experience have afforded him the chance to detect little-known
warning signs and symptoms like the four he addresses.
"I think the real value in this presentation is the number of
simple strategies he outlines to help prevent heart disease," says
Davis, "strategies that many doctors just don't take the time to discuss
with patients until they're already showing obvious symptoms of
cardiovascular stress."
