How well you do after a heart attack depends on
the amount and location of damaged tissue. Your outcome is
worse if the heart attack caused damage to the signaling system
that tells the heart to contract.
About a third of heart attacks are deadly. If you live 2
hours after an attack, you are likely to survive, but you
may have complications. Those who do not have complications
may fully recover.
Usually a person who has had a heart attack can slowly go
back to normal activities, including sexual activity.
