New Help For Heart Attacks
EPHRATA (Lancaster Co.)
There’s new hope for the 1.5 mil
lion Americans who will have a
heart attack this year. Many will
follow a program of cardiovas
cular protection that is, they’ll
go on a diet, quit smoking and/or
take medication to protect the
heart from cardiovascular disease.
Recently the drug most fre
quently used to treat high blood
pressure, hypertension and an
gina, has proved to help save lives
during and after heart attacks.

blocker, such as atenolol, known
as Tenormin®, possible damage
to the heart muscle may be averted
since the heart slows its work, the
beat is reduced and less oxygen is
needed.
Studies show Tenormin has
been proven among the most ef
fective beta blockers in providing
cardiovascular protection. A ma
jor research study involving more
than 16,000 people supported us
ing Tenormin in the first 12 hours
after a heart attack. Deaths were
reduced by IS percent during the
fust week.
Remember, early detection and
treatment save lives. If you think
you’re having a heart attack, or are
with someone who is, get medical
attention immediately.
