not sure i get your questions correct...
do you mean what are the potential signs
that this person might get a heart attack?
if that's your question, then just read
here.
The classic symptom of a heart attack is
intense, central chest pressure. Other
common symptoms include: pain or heaviness
in the left arm, nausea, shortness of
breath, increased perspiration, and a
feeling of impending doom. But many people
who have had an MI describe chest
"discomfort," or pain in the jaw, teeth,
arm, or abdomen. Women are more likely
than men to feel pain in their backs.
Often, symptoms come on gradually and are
intermittent or vague. A quarter of
patients—more often women and people
with diabetes—experience no symptoms at
all.
