Cardiac Emergency

A heart attack is not that difficult to identify as a crushing and excruciating chest pain that is often described as a vise gripping the heart or as an elephant sitting down on one's chest. However, there are some cases of heart attacks that may be undetected or not even felt by the person having the heart attack. These "silent" heart attacks are considered deadlier since they can display no obvious signs and symptoms, but continue causing extensive damage to the heart by delaying medical intervention. In this book, you will learn more about heart attack or myocardial infarction, including the signs and symptoms of heart attack, the diagnostic tests used to identify a myocardial infarction, the management for a heart attack, and even the emergency management when you see someone having a heart attack or experience a heart attack yourself.
