Symptoms of Heart Attack Article

There are symptoms that may predict a heart attack or Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in women. In some cases, the symptoms women experience prior to a heart attack may differ shortly before the AMI occurs. It is extremely important that a woman pay attention to these symptoms as recognizing these symptoms provide an early indication of heart attack, either imminently or in the near future, and is critical to forestalling or preventing the disease.

1. Unusual fatigue
