Heart Attack (MI - Myocardial infarction)

Every year in excess of a million people in the U.S. have a heart attack. As regards half of them die. Several people have permanent heart damage or die for the reason that they don't get help out immediately. It's significant to know the symptoms of a heart attack

Those symptoms contain

* Chest discomfort - pressure, squeezing, or pain

* Shortness of breath

* Discomfort in the upper body - arms, shoulder, neck, back

* Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lightheadedness, sweating


These symptoms can occasionally be different in women. The majority heart attacks take place when a clot in the coronary artery obstructs the supply of blood plus oxygen to the heart. Frequently this leads to an uneven heartbeat called an arrhythmia.
