A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction (MI), refers to a sudden event in which a portion of the heart stops working because it no longer receives blood. Heat attack symptoms can include chest pain (angina), cold sweats, discomfort in the arms, back, neck, stomach or jaw, vomiting and lightheadedness. For some people these symptoms do not occur. The chest pain that occurs during a heart attack is usually a chest pressure described as an elephant sitting on the chest.

I have never had a more simpler and easier to understand presentation regarding heart attacks, the symptoms and the various treatments available. This is an excellent video!

The thing I like about this website is that I am educating myself since my family has so many risk factors for heart attacks. I know that I can control stress to reduce angina. I went to the emergency room several times and I do not feel embarrassed because I know that MI is in the back of my mind.
