4 Signs Your Heart Is Quietly Failing

Does this sound like a familiar story?  Someone you know – he was only 48 years old, quite fit for his age.  He didn’t smoke, he didn’t have diabetes, and heart disease didn’t run in his family.

But by the time he was lying on an emergency room gurney writhing in pain, he understood full well why they called his type of heart attack a “widow-maker.”

Because he didn’t think he could be having a heart attack, he hesitated to seek treatment until it was nearly too late. Fortunately, this case had a positive ending. Emergency heart surgery saved the man’s life.

His delay in pursuing treatment was not unusual. In fact, a recent study out of Duke University Medical School found that up to 60% of people fail to recognize they are having a heart attack. And these so-called “silent” heart attacks are associated with a shockingly high risk of death. 

The government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also warns that many Americans fail to act promptly enough when faced with potential heart attack signs. Sadly, too many victims die because they do not know the most dangerous warning signs that a heart attack is near — and their heart is quietly failing. 

Because statistics show a clear link between a delay in heart attack treatment and death or disabling heart damage, renowned cardiovascular expert Chauncey Crandall, M.D., wants the public to become more aware of this life-threatening issue.

This powerful video reveals some of the most ominous warnings of frequently unrecognized heart attacks. 

Despite what you may believe, heart attacks rarely happen “out of the blue.” 

In fact, your body may be trying to warn you of an impending heart attack for days, weeks, perhaps even a month or two before it occurs. Unfortunately, by the time you actually recognize you’re suffering a heart attack, it could be too late to prevent death or debilitating heart damage.
