How many people have heart attacks but survive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most people: Survive many tiny heart attacks. Since the advent of cardiac MRI with contrast- we can detection subendocardaial infarcts which cannot be imaged consistently with other tests. In some centers they do this test to completely evaluate their patients but this is breaking news kind of stuff. The survival rate is directly proportional to how much heart muscle is lost.
