Heart Attack Reports

Taking Good Care of Your Heart The Joint Commission, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and other national organizations regularly collect information on patient care from hospitals. What they’ve learned has led them to set standards of treatment for serious medical conditions such as heart attack.

Heart-attack care
A heart attack happens when arteries that take blood to the heart become blocked. Without blood and the oxygen it carries, part of the heart starts to die. The right treatment done fast can get blood flowing back to your heart and save your life.
