Heart disease: What you are speaking of sounds like Heart Failure. A heart working at 28% should be functional but will need close follow up with a doctor and medication. Many people are able to live long lives with heart failure.

A heart attack ...: ... is when part of the heart muscle dies from not getting enough blood. When you lose heart muscle, it is not able to do its job, which is to pump blood. If you lose a lot of muscle, the heart muscle doesn't pump much blood. Your mom should see a doctor about managing this problem.
