Despite what you may believe, heart attacks rarely happen “out of the blue.”

In fact, your body may be trying to warn you of an impending heart attack for days, weeks, perhaps even a month or two before it occurs. Unfortunately, by the time you actually recognize you’re suffering a heart attack, it could be too late to prevent death or debilitating heart damage.

So-called silent heart attacks, with signs and symptoms that are mild or seem unrelated to the heart, have long concerned cardiovascular expert Dr. Chauncey Crandall. So Dr. Crandall recently created a special free video presentation about the four most sinister warning signs to watch for.

Statistics show a clear link between a delay in heart attack treatment and death or disability. That’s why it’s essential to know exactly what your heart is trying to tell you with warning signs like those discussed in Dr. Crandall’s video.

Although developed as an educational tool, this video rapidly went viral, surpassing 5 million viewers in just a few months.

Newsmax Health Publisher Travis Davis attributes the viral sensation to the fact that the content hits close to home for many Americans, especially because heart disease is America’s #1 killer. In fact, in the U.S. alone, nearly 1 million people suffer their first heart attack each year.

Dr. Crandall, chief of the cardiac transplant program at the renowned Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Palm Beach, Florida, practices on the front lines of interventional, vascular, and transplant cardiology.

    Myocardial infarction also known as a heart attack, takes place when blood flow is interrupted to a part of your heart, allowing a blood clot to obstruct a coronary artery supplying blood to the heart and the heart muscle dies. Each year, the American Heart Association brings together the most up-to-date statistics on heart attacks, and their risk factors. In 2010, the estimate on heart attacks in the U.S. is about $316 billion in order to provide health care, and medicines. A myocardial infarction is indeed one of the most serious illnesses in the world. In the United States alone, 785,000 people undergo their first heart attack and another 470,000 experience a second heart attack every year. With about 1.5 million people suffering from a heart…

    While researching for this paper, I became interested with Acute Myocardial Infarctions and just how quickly it can claim a life if not treated. While working at Bay Medical as a nurse intern in the ICU, I have seen numerous patients that have suffered from an AMI. Every year approximately 900,000 people in the US are diagnosed with AMI; among these, 225,000 will die, and an additional 125,000 will die without receiving any medical treatment (Comprehensive Review of Development for Core Measures, 2002). Treatment for AMI should begin immediately or as soon as possible. There…

    Congestive heart failure, affecting about 5 million Americans, is the leading cause of death among Americans, accounting nearly 700,000 deaths. It is twice as many as stroke and seven times as many as breast cancer [Herold, 2001]. Sudden cardiac failure, a form of congestive heart failure in which the heart fails without advanced warning, causes about half of the total deaths. For the remaining half, congestive heart failure doesn’t mean that the heart completely stops working; it means that the heart muscle has deteriorated so much that the heart can no longer pump as much blood as the body needs. However, a number of deaths are being prevented because of available heart transplant. But the number of prevented deaths is too small which accounts…
