Can you tell me exactly when is a heart attack not a heart attack?

When: You develop chest pain and symptoms of a heart attack but no muscle dies. It could have just been angina without actual cardiac injury. Cardiac lab tests ( enzymes) would be normal.

It is or is not!: Angina feels like a heart attack but without damage done! once damage done, it is a heart attack!
