You need to know the signs of a heart attack in order to detect it at the right time and seek prompt medical attention.

Neglecting the symptoms can even lead to death,” says Dr Bipeenchandra Bhamre, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai.
