...Young. When a coronary branch has been narrowed sufficiently to slow the blood to a virtual standstill, a thrombus (clot) will form and block the flow altogether. However, only a minority of heart attacks are fatal, and many are not even detected during the victim's lifetime.

No responsible Briton is exposed to the shock experienced by the American who overdraws: to . have his check marked "Insufficient Funds" and ignominiously bounced, his account stiffly fined...
