Largest-ever study of heart attack deaths in care reports improved survival rates

Hospital heart attack death rate cut - Telegraph

Extract:

"In the largest-ever study of heart attack deaths in care, more than 44,372 patient records were studied from 113 hospitals in 14 countries.

Researchers found that the greatest improvement in survival rates occurred in those patients who had severe heart attacks.

In cases where patients' arteries were completely blocked, death rates fell from 8.4 per cent to 4.5 per cent between 1999 and 2006.

Deaths among patients with milder forms of heart attack were reduced from 2.9 per cent to 2 per cent.

In total, for every 1000 patients admitted to hospital, there were 39 fewer deaths from heart attacks."

The best way to protect yourself from heart attacks is to cut down on your salt/sodium intake, or stop eating salt altogether. Salt reduction benefits your health in many ways. - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html
