It is believed that a heart attack occurs suddenly. However, in half of the patients, warning signs can appear several hours before the onset of the infarction. There is also a group of people who experience warning symptoms even several weeks before it.

A heart attack is a life-threatening condition. It occurs as a result of ischemia: when the heart muscle begins to die. The most typical symptom of a myocardial infarction is a sudden and very intense pain in the chest or heart area. It can be accompanied by feelings of anxiety, fear, pallor, disorientation, or an accelerated pulse.

However, the symptoms of a heart attack are not always sudden. Sometimes the heart can give warning signs several days or even weeks before.

The results of the study were presented at the recent annual conference of the American Cardiology Association in Dallas. They analyzed the medical histories of 567 men aged 35 to 65 years.

In 80% of cases, the symptoms of a heart attack appeared from four weeks to an hour before the blood supply to the heart muscle was blocked.

56% of patients with symptoms complained of chest pain, while 13% experienced shortness of breath.
