What is a heart attack?

How is a heart attack diagnosed? 

A heart attack is a medical emergency. If you’re experiencing the symptoms of a heart attack, call Triple Zero (000) and ask for an ambulance. An ambulance is the safest way to go to hospital and the quickest way to seek treatment. Treatment can start when ambulance staff arrive, saving precious minutes and preventing damage to your heart muscle. 
Once you get to hospital, your doctor will perform tests to diagnose if you’re having a heart attack.  hese tests will also measure the amount of damage caused to your heart and the best treatment course to take.
These tests include: 

• Electrocardiogram (ECG) 
• Blood tests 
• Coronary catheterisation (angiogram)
