Predicting a Heart Attack

I have not discussed this subject in awhile - What are the symptoms of a heart attack?  The Cleveland Clinic, one of my favorite heart websites, has great information at:

Cleveland Clinic - What are the symptoms of a heart attack?

The highlights are:

•  Chest pain
•  Pain in upper chest & shoulders
•  Difficulty breathing
•  Indigestion
•  Nausea & vomiting
•  Rapid heart rate

Sometimes women have different symptoms:

•  Upper back pain
•  Jaw pain
•  Fatigue for several days

I also found a new test that has made the news at:

Science News - New Test May Predict the Possibility of a Heart Attack

This may be a break through!
