Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent route suspected heart attacks to emergency services first, give general sourced information on coronary artery disease, prevention and rehabilitation, and avoid personal medical advice.

A disease in which the coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle are narrowed or blocked, usually by atherosclerosis, causing angina, heart attacks (acute coronary syndromes) and ischaemic heart failure; it is a leading cause of death worldwide and is reduced by prevention and prompt treatment.

What it is for: A major health condition relevant to emergencies, prevention and care.

It can be recognise heart attack warning signs; find general information on risk factors and prevention; find cardiac rehabilitation and support; prepare questions for a clinician.

Distinguishing features

Narrowed coronary arteries

Usually atherosclerotic

Causes angina and heart attacks

Largely preventable

What it looks like

Not visible; diagnosed by ECG, blood tests, imaging and angiography.

How it is recognised

Chest pain on exertion or at rest

Diagnostic tests such as angiograms

Heartburn can mimic chest pain but should not be assumed
