Heart attacks are a serious, life-threatening condition, but damage can be minimized if the heart attack is caught early enough for treatment to be given. Knowing the warning signs of a heart attack is crucial for swift recognition and response, which could potentially save a life. Even a simple pain in the chest could be an indicator of a more serious underlying cause.

And because a quick response during an episode can minimize damage to the heart and improve the chances of survival, Edison Public Library teamed up with Hackensack Meridian Health to provide a demonstration on Chest Pain and Heart Attack.

On Thursday, May 25 at 12:45, the professionals from Hacksack Meridian will be at the North Edison Branch to provide an informative presentation on the prevention and risk factors of chest pain and heart attack as part of their Heart Health Series.

Being educated on the warning signs of a heart attack is essential for early detection, prompt treatment, and improved outcomes.
