Health Note
Happy Healthy Heart
According to the American Heart Association, in the United States, coronary heart disease, which includes
heart attack, causes 1 of every 7 deaths. But many of those deaths can be prevented — by acting fast!
Some heart attacks are sudden and intense. But most start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Here are
some of the signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:
What Are the Warning Signs of Heart Attack?
• Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than
a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing,
fullness or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both
arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
• Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.
• Other signs: These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. However, women
are more likely than men to have some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath,
nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.
What should I do if I suspect a heart attack?
Even if you’re not sure it’s a heart attack, immediately call 9-1-1 or your local emergency medical services
(EMS) such as the fire department or ambulance. EMS staff can begin treatment when they arrive — up
to an hour sooner than if someone gets to the hospital by car. Patients with chest pain who arrive by
ambulance usually receive faster treatment at the hospital, too.
If you or someone close to you shows signs of a heart attack, call 9-1-1 and get help right away!
How can I help to avoid a heart attack?
• Don’t smoke, and avoid second-hand smoke.
• Treat high blood pressure if you have it.
• Eat foods that are low in saturated fat, trans fat, sodium (salt) and added sugars..
• Be physically active.
• Reach and maintain a healthy weight.
• Control your blood sugar if you have diabetes.
• Get regular medical check-ups.
• Take medicine as prescribed.
How can I learn more?
Call 1-800-AHA-USA1 (1-800-242-8721), or visit heart.org to learn more about heart disease and stroke.

Nota para Su Salud
Corazon Sano y Feliz
De acuerdo a la Asociación Americana del Corazón, en los Estados Unidos, las enfermedades coronarias, que
incluyen los ataques al corazón, son la causa de 1 de cada 7 muertes. Pero muchas de esas muertes se podrían
evitar, ¡actuando rápido! Algunos ataques al corazón son repentinos e intensos. Pero la mayoría comienza
lentamente, con dolor o malestar leves. Estas son algunas de las señales que pueden indicar que se está en
presencia de un ataque al corazón:
¿Cuáles son las señales de aviso del ataque al corazón?
• Molestia en el pecho. La mayoría de los ataques al corazón se presentan con una molestia en el centro del
pecho que dura más de algunos minutos o que desaparece y reaparece. Puede sentirse como una presión
incómoda, opresión, llenura o dolor.
• Molestia en otras zonas de la parte superior del cuerpo. Los síntomas pueden incluir dolor o malestar en
un brazo o en ambos, en la espalda, el cuello, la mandíbula o el estómago.
• Falta de aire. Puede ocurrir con o sin malestar en el pecho.
• Otras señales: podría comenzar a sentir sudor frío, náuseas o mareo.
Al igual que en los hombres, el síntoma más común de ataque al corazón en las mujeres es el dolor o la
molestia en el pecho. Sin embargo, las mujeres son más propensas que los hombres a tener algunos de los
otros síntomas comunes, sobre todo falta de aire, náuseas y vómitos, y dolor en la espalda o la mandíbula.
¿Qué debo hacer si sospecho que tengo un ataque al corazón?
Inmediatamente llame al 9-1-1 o a los servicios médicos de emergencia (EMS) como el departamento de
bomberos o la ambulancia. El personal de EMS puede comenzar el tratamiento en cuanto llegue, hasta una
hora antes que alguien que va al hospital en automóvil. Los pacientes con dolor en el pecho que llegan en
ambulancia generalmente también reciben tratamiento más rápido en el hospital.
Si usted o alguien cerca suyo muestra señales de ataque al corazón, ¡llame al 9-1-1 y pida ayuda enseguida!
¿Qué puedo hacer para evitar un ataque al corazón?
• No fume y evite ser fumador pasivo.
• Si tiene presión arterial alta, contrólela.
• Ingiera alimentos bajos en grasas saturadas, grasas trans, sodio (sal) y azúcares agregados.
• Sea físicamente activo.
• Alcance y mantenga un peso saludable.
• Controle el azúcar en la sangre si tiene diabetes.
• Realice chequeos médicos en forma regular.
• Tome sus medicamentos como se le haya recetado.
