Heart Attack Warning Signs

The American Heart Association encourages individuals to "Act in Time" by immediately calling 911, at the onset of heart attack symptoms. Although some heart attacks occur suddenly and are intense, most occur slowly with mild pain and discomfort.
Between 20% and 60% of Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) patients have some symptoms up to four weeks before the attack - symptoms they may ignore or attribute to other causes, such as indigestion.
