Description
Cardiovascular disease is the leading chronic illness among Americans today. It can lead to life-threatening illnesses like a heart attack. By empowering patients with the good information on symptoms, a heart attack can be prevented.
Low literacy tools, such as Stoplight tools can help patients understand how to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack and when to seek emergency care. Stoplight tools divide various signs and symptoms into green, yellow, and red management zones. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires calling 911.
This Heart Attack Stoplight Tool is based on the recommended ACC/AHA standards of care. It can be customized with your agency’s name and contact information. Available in English and Spanish. 50 sheets per pad
