Have You Suffered A Silent Heart Attack?
Is it possible you may have suffered a silent heart attack? A silent myocardial infarction accounts for 45% of heart attacks. Symptoms are less intense than a typical heart attack. You may not experience extreme chest pain and pressure or a stabbing pain in the arm, neck, or jaw, shortness of breath, sweating, and dizziness.
Get checked out! It’s a simple test with your local Regional One Health cardiologist. We use an electrocardiogram (EKG) or echocardiogram to detect silent heart attacks, even after the fact. It’s that easy.
