The most common heart attack symptoms are: Chest discomfort (pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain, burning or heaviness) Sweating. Upper body discomfort (neck, jaw, shoulder, arms, back). Nausea. Shortness of breath. Light-headedness.

Follow the instructions on the back of the SMHeartCard. Put the SMHeartCard on a flat surface. Take the four ASA pills and chew and swallow them.  Take the the first NitroStat pill and put it under your tongue. Call 911. If the symptoms continue for another 5 minutes, take the second NitroStat pill. If the symptoms continue for another 5 minutes more, take the last NitroStat pill. Even if the symptoms go away see your medical doctor as soon as possible.

Nitroglycerin is a medication that is used to treat acute myocardial infarction (AMI), also known as a heart attack. Nitroglycerin works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which decreases the workload on the heart and improves blood flow to the heart muscle. This can reduce the severity of the heart attack and decrease the risk of further damage to the heart. Nitroglycerin placed under the tongue begins to work within seconds. Nitroglycerin should not be used if you have low blood pressure or if you have recently taken drugs for erectile dysfunction.

SMHeartCard is the Heart Attack Card that lets you treat heart attack symptoms right away. Taking ASA and Nitroglycerin at the start of heart attack makes it less severe and can save your life. In Canada, 30% of people don't even survive long enough to get to hospital with their first heart attack.

Great news that it wasn't a heart attack! ASA and nitroglycerin are safe for most people. Nitroglycerin can cause low blood pressure in up to three percent of people, but it goes away within minutes. Some people get a headache after nitroglycerin but it goes away quickly. ASA is usually safe unless you have an allergy to ASA.

SMHeartCard is designed for three groups of patients: 1) patients with known coronary artery disease (they have had a heart attack or angina), 2) people with risk factors for coronary artery disease, and 3) first aid / first responders who may need to treat someone having a heart attack.

Many Canadians have at least one risk factor for coronary artery disease: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking history, sedentary lifestyle, age > 50, obesity, or a family history of heart disease.

Replace NitroStat with fresh 0.3mg pills every 6 months.  ASA 81mg is more stable but should be replaced every year. The expiry date for the NitroStat is circled on the back of the card. New data shows NitroStat is good for up to 2 years even when you open and close the bottle many times.

New tests show NitroStat bottles can be opened multiple times without loss of stability of the pills.  You can keep a previously opened bottle until the expiry date on the label.
