Study: Half Of Heart Attack Patients Did This Two Weeks Before The Event
New research from Denmark reveals roughly half of patients who suffer a heart attack seek medical attention within two weeks before the event itself.
According to UPI, 54% of patients who experienced 'an abrupt loss of heart function' saw their primary physician in the two weeks leading to the emergency.
Approximately 7% also sought care at a local hospital.
Some patients did both.
The European Society Cardiology says out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the third-leading cause of death worldwide.
