Heart Attack
Frequently Asked Questions
10. How is a heart attack
treated?
If
you are having a heart attack, doctors will work quickly to restore
blood flow to the heart and continuously monitor vital signs to
detect and treat complications. Restoring blood flow to the heart
can prevent or limit damage to the heart muscle and help prevent
another heart attack. Doctors may use clot-busting drugs called
thrombolytics and procedures, such as angioplasty. (Answer
