__ Effects of heart attack __  A heart attack damages your body based on how long the heart attacks lasts. The longer the heart attack, the more heart muscle dies and the less of the heart left intact. This leads to more chance of dying and more chance of suffering another heart attack. A heart attack's effects include angina (chest pains), arrhythmia (irregular heart beats), or heart failure.

Angina are chest pains caused by lack of oxygen-high blood in the heart. They feel like indigestion, and it feels as if someone is applying pressure or is squeezing your heart. Angina can also happen on your arm, shoulder, neck, back or jaw. Here are the three kinds of angina can happen:

__Stable Angina__ The most common type of angina is the stable angina. It has a regular pattern to it and its not a heart attack. It only increases the chances of having one. If you know how to predict the pattern of stable angina, you can predict when the pain will occur and treat it so it goes away. The cure for stable angina is to rest for a short period of time and to take you prescribed medicine.

__Unstable Angina__ Unstable angina can happen even though you are not doing any physical exercise. This is a sign that a heart attack may happen soon because it doesn't have any patterns. Taking angina medicine and resting won't work, so it is urgent that you see the doctor or call 911 as fast as possible.

__Variant (Prinzmetal's) Angina__ This is a rare kind of angina, it usually happens when the person is at rest, for example, it usually happens at midnight or in the morning. This type of angina causes intense pain, but can be relieved by medicine.

__**Arrhythmia**__ Arrhythmia is the irregular beating of the heart meaning that the heart is not healthy. This can be caused by other reasons like drug abuse, alcohol, adrenaline, or some diseases.
