- 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.
