   A myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood supply to a part of the heart muscle is blocked off, causing severe damage in the area. Men and people with a family history of heart disease are more likely to suffer from heart attacks. The risk further increases with age, high blood pressure, smoking, high blood cholesterol and obesity. Whether it be mild or accute, a heart attack is a medical emergency. About one=third of the people who have heart attacks die.
   SYMPTONS;
   Angina- chest pain resulting from the lack of oxygen reaching the heart.

   -mild to severe crushing pain that starts in the chest and may extend to the jaws,back and arms, usually the left arm. The pain occurs when the heart works harder than normal, e.g., due to emotional or physical stress, heavy meals or exposure to extreme heat or cold.
   thus needing more oxygen. Relief comes after a short rest.
   -breathing difficulty
   -dizziness,nausea
   -sweating

   HEART ATTACK;
   -Sudden pain,as inj angina, but more severe and prolonged (exceeding 30 mins.) does not ease the pain.
   -Dizziness, nausea, vomiting.
   -Shock (paleness,rapid breathing,cold sweat, clammy skin, drowziness, fast pulse rate, and loss of consciousness).
