Jackpot! Brenda Larson RN, BSN Chest Pain Clinical Program Coordinator University of Wisconsin Hospital
Historical Perspective • Coronary artery disease remains the leading killer in the U.S. • Heart attacks occur when a blood clot forms in a blood vessel in the heart – starving the downstream muscle of oxygen. • Time is critical! Every minute the artery is blocked, heart muscle is damaged. Time is muscle!!
