This is a good animation of the disease profile of acute myocardial infarction for the MBBS and Post graduate students who can be better made understood of the gravity and significance of the signs and symptoms of the disease in a better way than being understood that they are well read from books and taught by teachers,as it depicts things in a better manner than taught verbally in the class room and student not recognising the the importance of the rare presentation as they are also not well emphasised by the teachers too.
