NHS launches lifesaving campaign to help people spot a heart attack The NHS is launching a lifesaving campaign to encourage people to call 999 when they are having early signs of a heart attack, as admissions for heart attack return to pre-pandemic levels.

The campaign will teach people about the common signs of a heart attack that are often dismissed or ignored by people.

NHS figures show that there were more than 84,000 hospital heart attack admissions in England during 2021/22, up by more than 7,000 compared to the previous year when fewer people came forward for care during the pandemic. NHS England
