In Lucas County, about one-third of adults are at high risk of having a heart attack due to high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity. Common heart attack warning signs include chest discomfort, shortness of breath, cold sweats and nausea. ProMedica offers an online heart health assessment to help people determine their risk based on their personal health and family history.
