Heart attack intensityf

Posted By MB on April 14, 1998 at 19:44:42:







I was over a friends house over the weekend and the phone rang.  I was a call
from my friend's uncle stating that he drove himself to the hospital----
he thought it was his heart.  After evaluation, his diagnosis was that he had
a heart attack.  My question:  How can you have a heart attack and live through it?
Or even not be greatly afftected by it (able to drive)?  What determines how
"big" the heart attack is?
Thanks,
