Prevent a Heart Attack: Summary
Preventing a
heart attack involves knowing your risk factors and controlling them. In many situations, this can be done naturally, without the need for medications. But keep in mind, there is no magic pill for dealing with
heart disease. It is about understanding
heart disease and heart attacks and making good, heart-healthy decisions.
Talk with your healthcare providers about how to prevent a heart attack in your particular situation. Your healthcare providers are in the best position to discuss your options. Together, you can decide on a plan that makes sense for you and can help you either prevent a heart attack or limit its impact.
