As some are aware of the basic symptoms of a heart attack. Reports had mentioned that a study by Imperial College London revealed that thousands of heart attack victims had their symptoms missed by doctors before their death.

According to Daily Mail, the study stated that some British doctors have still missed early signs of heart attack. It was then mentioned that One in six fatal heart attacks in England were experienced by people who had undergone examinations in hospitals. Yet they died less than a month after the examination which no symptoms were found.

The study published in Lancet Public Health journal then mentioned that fainting, chest pain, shortness of breath or nausea is identified to be the red flags of a heart attack. Imperial College London then mentioned that British doctors weren’t aware of these signals of an incoming heart attack.

AOL then mentioned that the study had examined records of 446,744 NHS hospital stays involving heart attacks between 2006 and 2010. It was also said that along those records, the four-year history of the 135,950 heart attack deaths in England was examined as well.

Furthermore, Professor Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation said that the study had revealed patients who had been in the hospital a month before death yet weren’t found of any heart attack symptoms.

The study’s lead author, Lead author Dr. Perviz Asaria, from the School of Public Health at Imperial said that “Unfortunately in the four weeks following a hospital stay, nearly as many heart attack deaths occur in people for whom heart attack is not recorded as a primary cause, as occur after an admission for heart attack.” It was then said that researchers are now finding out the reasons for the result so that heart attack could be prevented.

Yet amid the study conducted, "We cannot yet say why these signs are being missed, which is why more detailed research must be conducted to make recommendations for change,” Co-author Professor Majid Ezzati, also from Imperial's School of Public Health noted.
