If someones had a small heart attack is a bigger one likely to occur?
Do you always have a fever with the flu?
Answers:
In reality there is no such thing as a big or small heart attack as the chances of surviving ANY type of heart attack is 50%. Once you have had one heart attack then yes you are at an increased risk of further attacks. But with medication, treatment such as angioplasty or bypass surgery and suitable lifestyle changes (ie not smoking, eating healthier and exercising regularly) the risks of further attacks can be substantially reduced.
In the UK it is estimated that someone has a heart attack every 2 minutes, so out of the 30 per hour, it is likely 15 will die. Now the majority of these people didn't know beforehand they were going to have a heart attack and not survive, so were not necessarily concerned about it.
90% chance

How do you celebrate Halloween with diabetic child?
Not necessarily, especially with all of the new medication that are prescribed for people who have had heart attacks that lower their risk of having another.
I've known people who have lived a long full life after only one heart attack.
Usually after a heart attack the patient is put on medication and advised on diet and to stop smoking, if they do smoke.
Most of the time a heart attack is a wake-up call and the person will change their life style to insure a better, longer life.
simple answer is yes and no but it time to change your ways
Yes, it is more likely to occur than if they had no history of heart attack. It is not necessarily a foregone conclusion though, especially if they follow their doctor's orders and watch their diet, etc.

is it just a lie or do some creams work in the prevention of wrinkles?
I remember reading in several medical books which noted that people who've sufferred one heart attack (big or small), and survived, then that person's chance of another heart attack increases substantially. However, if that person's lifestyle and eating habits were to change radically for the better then they can reduce the chances of a second heart attack substantially.
My understanding is that the heart suffers irreparable damage to its cardiac muscle tissue resulting in a less efficient heart. Because of this, the person who sufferred the heart attack needs to be careful in regards to their level of physical activity post heart attack. It's a catch 22 situation to be sure. The heart patient's doctor will recommend a suitable exercise regimen and diet for them. In essence, if the heart patient doesn't change their lifestyle or eating habits, with their compromised heart, then they will most certainly suffer a second - often fatal - heart attack for the reasons mentioned above.
yes its a warning to change your diet and life style
