Abstract
A survey of 200 residents of the state of Georgia, United States was conducted to assess the knowledge of heart attacks. Results depict that Georgia residents have only a basic understanding of heart attack symptoms suggesting the need for medical professionals to spend more time educating their patients on their health in simple terms so that the patients can be knowledgeable on their personal health.
