Heart Attack

Heart attack is a life-threatening condition caused when the blood flow to the heart is cut off for a prolonged period of time. If you think you are having a heart attack call 911 immediately for help. Some of the common warning signs for heart attacks are chest paint or discomfort or pain in other areas of the body, such as arms, back, jaw, neck or stomach; and shortness or breath. Other signs may include cold sweats, nausea or lightheadedness.

University of Minnesota Physicians Heart at Fairview offers advanced heart attack care at three Twin Cities locations -- University of Minnesota Medical Centrer, Fairview, Fairview Southdale Hospital and Fairview Ridges Hospital. Each location provides emergency care for people with heart attacks designed to save lives and reduce heart muscle damage by minimizing the time it takes to open blocked arteries and restore blood flow to the heart. 
Fairview features nearly 4,000 providers practicing at over 200 locations throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and beyond. Fairview Clinics, University of Minnesota Physicians and our independent partner clinics provide an exceptional care experience, while lowering the overall costs of health care.
