Heart Attack
A heart attack occurs when the blood flow carrying oxygen to the heart muscle is severely reduced or stopped. This happens when the coronary arteries, the arteries that supply the heart with blood, become thick and blocked with the extra buildup of plaque, fat and cholesterol.
Having a heart attack is a life-changing event and it’s completely normal to feel scared or overwhelmed during the recovery process. Most individuals return back to their normal lives after their first heart attack and enjoy many more years of productive activity. But, having a heart attack does mean that individuals should make changes to their lifestyle, and preventing another heart attack should be their top priority.
At Sun Health Wellness, our team is here to support you through your recovery process and after, so you can reduce your risk of having another heart attack and improve your overall health and wellbeing.

West Valley Heart Walk
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this.
Cardiac arrests happen at work, in homes, on athletic fields and in neighborhoods everywhere, and the readiness of our community can be the difference between life and death. Javion was saved by his coach’s quick CPR action when he collapsed on the basketball court. Stories like Javion’s can become more common by creating communities who are ready to act in the case of an emergency.
It’s time to unite, take action, and save lives. Our goal is to have one person in every household confident and prepared to perform CPR. The American Heart Association invites YOU to join the Heart Walk to broaden our impact by turning bystanders into lifesavers.
Register now to take the first step in saving lives. Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more people trained in lifesaving CPR, more research and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
