In the blink of an eye, life can take an unexpected turn, and few experiences embody this reality more than a heart attack. The sudden and terrifying nature of this cardiac event is a reality for many Americans, with someone in the United States falling victim to a heart attack every 40 seconds. When you have a heart attack, it’s important to recognize the signs and get help early.
'In the world of cardiology, ‘Time is muscle’ is a common phrase,” said Dr. Sabu George, a cardiologist at Columbus Cardiology Clinic. “Recognizing the symptoms of a heart attack is not just about saving seconds — it’s about saving lives. Swift action can be the difference between a full recovery and irreversible damage.”
Heart attack symptoms can show up differently in men and women, with some overlapping, and others unique to each gender.
