What are the chances of recovery from a heart attack?
The majority of heart attacks are not fatal. And if a person recovers from a heart attack, he stands every chance of living a reasonably long and healthy life. One heart attack does not inevitably lead to another. The heart has great powers of recuperation, which can be helped along by modern medical treatment, and it may become as strong as ever after an attack. It is important, however, to deal with the conditions that led to the attack, and anyone who has suffered a heart attack must follow his doctor’s advice concerning diet, exercise, and other aspects of his general health.
