Early warning signs of heart attacks 'being missed' Early warning signs may have been missed in one in six heart attack deaths in England, a study suggests.
Researchers looked at all heart attack hospital admissions and deaths between 2006 and 2010.
The team, from Imperial College London, found 16% who died of a heart attack within 28 days of an admission had not been diagnosed - despite symptoms like chest pain most likely being present.
The British Heart Foundation has called the research "concerning".
The study authors from the School of Public Health at Imperial College say more research is "urgently needed". BBC News
