The Jackson Parish Ambulance Service District, located at 115 Watts Street in Jonesboro, LA, has released the March 2026 report of ambulance responses. The procedure overview for March showed that 367 calls were received, of which 273 required transports. A total of 194 patients required a 12-lead cardiac intervention.

A 12-lead ECG is essential for a comprehensive, snapshot evaluation of the heart’s electrical activity from 12 different perspectives (angles). It is the gold standard for diagnosing heart attacks (myocardial infarction), assessing ischemia (reduced blood flow), identifying complex arrhythmias, and detecting structural abnormalities like chamber enlargement.
