High Blood Pressure
Nearly half the adults in America have hypertension. It can increase your risk of heart attack, stroke and other life-threatening conditions. Learn about your blood pressure reading and risk factors by watching the video below.
Heart Attack
Heart attack, also called acute myocardial infarction or AMI, means that blood flow to part of the heart is blocked. That part of the heart muscle begins to die. Permanent damage and death can result quickly if blood flow is not restored. Heart attack is an emergency. The right care at the right time can save your life and help prevent further damage.
If you or someone you know might be having a heart attack, call 911 right away.
