If you are reading this website, welcome! We hope that you have arrived in the pursuit of learning and researching various options for the cure and treatment of a heart attack. If you are experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack, you must call for emergency services immediately (9-1-1 in the United States). According to the Center for Disease Control (2005 statistics), 92% of people experiencing heart pain recognized it as a heart attack symptom. However, 27% did not contact emergency services for various reasons. It is imperative to err to the side of caution and contact emergency services if you believe you might be suffering from a heart attack. Timely availability of professional medical attention is the most critical factor for increasing survivability and avoiding permanent damage. That said, many people survive heart attacks and there are many treatment options some involving pharmaceuticals and some involving surgery. A very common theme in the treatment of a heart attack is still prevention; the prevention of future heart attacks.

As we collect more research, we’re going to cover the areas outlined below which are some of the current treatments for Cardiovascular Disease as outlined by the American Heart Association:

• Antithrombotics (Blood Thinners)
• Heart Rate Control Medications
• Antiarrhythmic Medications
• Electrical Cardioversion
• AV Node Ablation/Modification
• Pacemaker
• Curative Procedures: Radiofrequency and Other Types of Catheter Ablation
• Surgery to Cure Atrial Fibrillation: the Maze Surgery
