What to do in an Emergency

If You Experience Chest Pain:

If you have nitroglycerin to use it would be appropriate to put one under your tongue. If in 5 minutes the pain persists, then repeat the nitroglycerin. At this point, consider proceeding to the nearest emergency room. If you do not have nitroglycerin to use, please proceed to the nearest emergency room.

It is important to emphasize that you go to the nearest emergency room and not attempt a long a long drive to Centennial Heart. If you are having a heart attack, any emergency room facility can make that determination and contact our physicians for transfer arrangements. It is important to realize that you need to be stabilized as soon as possible and that time is of the essence.
