Heart attack warning device

Cardiologists have designed a heart attack warning device that can tell when a heart attack develops so that the patient takes appropriate precautions.

Many victims of heart attack usually do not show warning signs such as angina, sweating, but only feeling a little uncomfortable, while others are not aware of these signs or realize too late.

Consequently, patients may die if they get too late.

The AngelMed protection system is thought to reduce the death rate from heart attacks by up to a quarter, thanks to early warning of victims before a heart attack, according to the Telegraph.

This allowed them to go to the hospital more than two hours earlier, reducing the risk of death and preserving the heart muscle from damage.

Implanted under the skin of the collarbone, the device works by recording small changes in the ECG signal, which occurs when one of the main arteries of the heart faces the risk of thromboembolism.

According to cardiologist Robert Wlodarczyk of Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare in California, the results show that the device works well, allowing patients to save precious time.

Dr. Wlodarczyk said that every 30 minutes, the risk of death of the victim increased by 7.5%, meaning that the warning device could increase one's chances of survival by 25 to 30 percent.
