Remember the "120" when you have chest pain
More than 6% of patients with acute coronary syndrome will have ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms, many patients with chest pain think that after the chest pain, it will be OK, but the real "fatal" is the possibility of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, which is also one of the main causes of death in patients with chest pain.
Encounter chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations and other suspected symptoms, how to pay too much attention to, even after the hospital found that it is a "false alarm."
Must bear in mind the "two 120" : first, have chest pain, to call 120; Second, strive for the "Golden 120 minutes".If treated within 120 minutes, the area of cardiomyocyte necrosis will be greatly reduced, and the area of cardiomyocyte necrosis directly determines the survival rate and future quality of life and the probability of complications.
For patients and their families, it is necessary to abandon two wrong practices and avoid delay.

The second is to wait for the disease to relieve itself after taking the drug or to see if it is getting better.
