20、noredTime Is Muscle At least half of all patients never call an ambulance. Instead, in the throes of a heart attack, they drive themselves to the emergency room or are driven there by a friend or family member. Or they take a taxi. Or they walk. Patients often say they were embarrassed by the though

21、t of an ambulance arriving at their door. “Calling 911 seems like such a project,” Mr. Orr said. “I reserve it for car accidents and exploding appliances. I feel like if I can walk and talk and breathe I should just get here.”It is an understandable response, but one that can be fatal, cardiologists

22、 say.“If you come to the hospital unannounced or if you drive yourself there, （1） youre burning time,” Dr. Antman said. “And time is muscle,” he added, meaning that （2） heart muscle is dying as the minutes tick away.There may be false alarms, Dr. Sopko said.“But it is better to be checked out and fi

23、nd out its not a problem than to have a problem and not have the therapy,” he said.Calling an ambulance promptly is only part of the issue, heart researchers say. There also is the question of how, or even whether, the patient gets either of two types of treatment to open the blocked arteries, known

24、 as reperfusion therapy. One is to open arteries with a clot-dissolving drug like TPA, for tissue plasminogen activator. “These have been breakthrough therapies,” said Dr. Joseph P. Ornato, a cardiologist and emergency medicine specialist who is medical director for the City of Richmond, Va. “But th

25、e hooker is that even the best of the clot buster drugs typically only open up 60 to 70 percent of blocked arteries nowhere close to 100 percent.” The drugs also make patients vulnerable to bleeding, Dr. Ornato said.One in 200 patients bleeds into the brain, having a stroke from the treatment meant

26、to save the heart. The other way is with （3） angioplasty, the procedure Mr. Orr got. Cardiologists say it is the preferred method under ideal circumstances.（4） Stents have recently been questioned for those who are just having symptoms like shortness of breath. In those cases, drugs often work as we

27、ll as stents. But during a heart attack or in the early hours afterward, stents are the best way to open arteries and prevent damage. That, though, requires a cardiac catheterization laboratory, practiced doctors and staff on call 24 hours a day. The result is that few get this treatment.Skip to nex

28、t paragraph “We now are seeing really phenomenal results in experienced hands,” Dr. Ornato said. “We can open 95 to 96 percent of arteries, and bleeding in the brain is virtually unheard of. Its a safer route if it is done by very experienced people and if it is done promptly. Those are big ifs.”The

29、 ifs were not a problem for Mr. Orr. His decision to go to Brigham and Womens Hospital proved exactly right. But he did not know that when he chose the hospital he chose it because （5） his doctor was affiliated with Brigham.1. “You are burning time” means A you are wasting time B you are using time
