Heart attacks occur when blood flow to the heart is blocked, often due to a buildup of fat and plaque in the arteries. Every year, hundreds of thousands experience this life-threatening event. Cardiologists emphasize knowing the warning signs: chest pain that feels like pressure, tightness, or squeezing, pain that spreads to the shoulders, arms, back, neck, jaw, teeth, or even the stomach, sudden cold sweats, fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms together, act fast and seek emergency help. Recognizing these signs quickly can make all the difference. Take steps to protect your heart health.
