Why? Because clot-busting drugs and other artery-opening treatments can stop a heart attack in its tracks. They can prevent or limit damage to the heart – but they need to be given immediately after symptoms begin. The sooner they are started, the greater the chances for survival and a full recovery. To be most effective, they need to be given within one hour of the onset of the heart attack symptoms.
