Despite what many people think, heart attacks rarely happen “out of the blue.”
As a matter of fact, your body may be trying to warn you of an nearby heart attack for days, weeks, perhaps even months before it occurs. Unfortunately, by the time you actually realize you are 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 which 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 4 most sinister warning signs to watch for.
Statistics indicate a clear link between a delay in heart attack treatment and death or disability. That is the reason it is 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 quickly went viral, attracting more than 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 people in United States, especially because heart disease is America’s #1 killer. In fact, in the United States alone, about 1 million people suffer their first heart attack each year.
Dr. Crandall, chief of the cardiac transplant program at the reputed Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic in Palm Beach, Florida, practices on the front lines of interventional, vascular, and transplant cardiology.
Years of clinical experience has provided him the opportunity to detect little-known warning signs and symptoms like the 4 he addresses in the video.
In addition, in the video Dr. Crandall also explains the real-life story of one man who suffered a “widow-maker” heart attack after ignoring the warning signs — and almost paid the ultimate price. The story is scary but eye-opening, because Dr. Crandall outlines what we could do to actually prevent this from progressing to the life-threatening stage.
Dr. Crandall, medical editor of the Newsmax publication Heart Health Report, has a positive message: you do not have to be a sitting duck for a deadly heart attack. In fact, according to Dr. Crandall, heart disease can be prevented — and even reversed — with the proper information and simple lifestyle adjustments.
