New Petchburi Pete Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 A true 'heart attack' or myocardial infarction occurs when the blood supply to an area of the heart by one of the coronary arteries is blocked. Anxiety, which can be accompanied by a very rapid heartbeat, can be a symptom. In fact a normal rythymn pattern (sinus rythymn), or practically any type of rythymn disturbance (arrythmia) as well, may be displayed at onset and during an MI.

I meant to qualify this by stating that this is rare as most MI's result in ST segment changes (etc.) on EKG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
