A Resource About Heart Attack


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The number one cause of death in the United States today is heart attack,
striking about 1.5 million Americans and claiming 540,000 lives annually.
Another 150,000 lives are lost to stroke, the third largest killer.  If you
know and understand the warning signs of a heart attack or stroke your actions
may prevent needless deaths, and reduce the pain and suffering these diseases
can inflict.  The booklet "Heart Attack and Stroke:  Signals and Action" has
been designed and produced to bring this information to you.  You may request
your free copy from The American Heart Association, 3216 Broadway, Fairlawn,
NJ 07022.  Be sure to include a stamped self-addressed business sized
envelope.  For your effort you will receive an eight paged booklet that tells
How to recognize a heart attack, how to respond to a heart attack, how to
recognize a stroke, and how to respond to a stroke.  There are some
illustrations to help you, as well as some suggestions about preparations you
may want to take now, against the day when these emergencies may arise.  Since
many heart attack victims deny what is happening, and often delay their
treatment by hours, the knowledge gained from this book can truly save a life.
