Round-the-clock treatment of acute myocardial infarction (FREE)
Myocardial infarction is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the lumen of the vessel is blocked and insufficient blood reaches the heart.
In our Center, diagnostics (coronary angiography) and treatment (stenting) of acute myocardial infarction are carried out ROUND-THE-CLOCK, without any weekend and holiday breaks, FREE OF CHARGE (according to the state program, in cooperation with the Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital).
If you have sharp, sudden pain of burning and squeezing nature, which does not go away after rest, does not change during inhalation/exhalation and changes in body position, is felt/radiates to the left hand and the lower jaw YOU NEED TO:
- call 103 immediately;
- take a comfortable position (sitting or lying down);
- avoid any physical activity (be completely relaxed);
- put a nitroglycerin pill under the tongue;
- chew 300 mg of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin cardio, magnikor, lospirin);
- contact the reception of the Lviv Regional Clinical Hospital.
Your doctor can send the ECG and arrange hospitalization by calling +38(098)789-07-09.
