Useful Information from American Heart Association--Guard Your Heart

As a quadruple bypass heart patient I thought this was useful information to disseminate.

Love Your Heart, you only get one.  Take care of it.

It's the first step to help you and your doctor make decisions that positively impact your health and the quality of your healthcare.



Know your health status. For simple lifestyle changes to be your healthiest, visit www.heart.org/mylifecheck.

The American Heart Association sets the standards for emergency cardiac care. We provide practice guidelines that make sure you get the best treatment from the ambulance to emergency evaluation through hospital discharge instructions.
