Awesome video describing what happens in a heart attack


I found this nice video online that describes heart attacks in a simple manner that is very easy to understand. Scroll half way down the page and look for a little square box that you have to click on in order to launch the video player. It only lasts 1 min 50 seconds so it isn't too boring. 3D animation with clear narration... fantastic!

According to the website, "The American Heart Association estimates that in 2004, more than 1 million Americans will suffer a heart attack. About 700,000 of these will be first–time heart attack sufferers, while about 500,000 will be people who had previously had a heart attack." Its a big problem worldwide, Malaysia no exception. It would be great if somehow stem cells could be used in the treatment of its ill after-effects, combined with right medication.... and a proper diet of course.
