If athletes are passionate about their sports, we’ll exhaust all available testing to help them stay safe while participating. It’s rare that we have to help an athlete understand why participation isn’t a safe choice, though this outcome does happen

Chest pains may be caused by angina or a heart attack. While there may be other reasons for your chest pain, here we will only cover a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery suddenly becomes blocked, stopping the flow of blood to the heart muscle and damaging it. All or part of the heart muscle is cut off from its oxygen supply. Left without oxygen, the heart muscle is injured

The diagnosis of your heart attack will be based on your symptoms, ECG and the results of your blood studies. Various tests will be performed.

A heart attack is treated using the following methods, or a combination of them:
- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
- Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG)
- Medications
