"Pulse and heart rate are simply not useful (neither sensitive or specific) criteria for detecting MI's"
I have a statistical medical question. Is the problem that they're completely unrelated, or that interpersonal variation is larger than the typical impact?
Very long term data analysis with a sudden change might be much different than the experience of a ER doc seeing someone for the first time.
I guess the relevant data source would be someone hooked up to monitoring gear in the hospital when they have a second heart attack while onsite... it might not even be visually obvious but perhaps a detailed statistical analysis would show something before/after.
