    • 2016 August 30, “Women 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed after heart attack – study”, in The Guardian‎:
      Heart attacks can be broken down into two main types: Stemi and Nstemi. A Stemi attack occurs when there is a total blockage of the coronary artery that supplies the heart muscle with oxygenated blood. The more common Nstemi type of heart attack involves a partial blockage of one or more arteries. Both result in serious damage to the heart muscle.
