摘要：What is already known about this topic? An estimated 750,000 heart attacks occur annually in the United States. Early intervention is critical in reducing morbidity and mortality. Improving public knowledge of the signs and symptoms of a heart attack can lead to improved survival and better outcomes. What is added by this report? Analysis of National Health Interview Survey data for 2008, 2014, and 2017 found that knowledge of five common signs and symptoms of a heart attack and the appropriate emergency response increased significantly (from 40% to 50% and from 92% to 95%, respectively); however, sociodemographic disparities in knowledge persist. What are the implications for public health practice? A multifaceted approach across clinical and community settings is needed to increase awareness.
