Did you know that heart attacks have beginnings/early warning signs? These “beginnings” occur in more than 50 percent of patients. If recognized in time, these “beginnings” can be treated before the heart is damaged!

令人震惊的统计数据:

心 disease causes approximately one in every four deaths in the United States.

关于 50 percent of sudden cardiac deaths occur outside a hospital. This suggests that many people don’t act on early warning signs.

Survey results show that only 27 percent of the respondents were aware of all major symptoms and knew to call 9-1-1.

 
By sharing early heart attack education, we can save lives and change these sobering statistics.

 什么是EHAC?
“早期心脏病护理” includes three components:
1. A campaign intended to educate everyone about early symptoms of a heart attack in order to prevent the heart attack from ever occurring. Preventing a heart attack prevents heart damage.
2. A plea to the public to be responsible, 不仅仅是为了他们自己, but for those around them who may be experiencing early heart attack symptoms, and to help them obtain immediate treatment.
3. A public education program that concentrates on the benefits of receiving early treatment, and activating emergency medical services.

What makes the EHAC campaign different?
Unlike most programs that promote recognition of the signs and symptoms of an impending heart attack, the EHAC initiative encourages early recognition when symptoms may be mild. For the 50 percent of people experiencing these symptoms, the attack can be prevented with early treatment BEFORE ANY DAMAGE TO THE HEART CAN OCCUR!

你知道吗??
85 percent of heart damage occurs within the first two hours of a heart attack. EHAC is knowing the subtle danger signs of a heart attack and acting upon them immediately BEFORE HEART DAMAGE OCCURS

早期症状是什么?
Remember, people may or may not experience any or all of these symptoms. People may experience mild chest symptoms, such as pressure, burning, aching or tightness. These symptoms may come and go until finally becoming constant and severe:

• 恶心想吐
• Pain that travels down one or both arms
• 下巴疼痛
• 乏力
• 焦虑
• Chest pressure, squeezing or discomfort
• 背部疼痛
• 呼吸急促（气促）
• 饱腹感

打电话给9-1-1, do not attempt to drive someone to the hospital when they are experiencing these symptoms.

坚持三个步骤:
1. Learn the early signs and symptoms of a heart attack
2. 与他人分享EHAC
3. 发誓
Pledge to be part of a movement to save hearts and save lives BECAUSE EVERY HEART MATTERS.

EHAC承诺

I understand that heart attacks have beginnings that may include chest discomfort, 呼吸急促（气促）, 肩膀和/或手臂疼痛, 和软弱. These may occur hours of weeks before the actual heart attack.  I solemnly pledge that if it happens to me, 或者我认识的任何人, I will call 9-1-1 or activate our Emergency Medical 太阳城集团官网导航.
