9-1-1 callers report potential HA cases using a variety of terms and descriptions-most commonly CP. Other less-common symptoms associated with a HA may be mentioned. Therefore, EMDs must be well-trained to be prepared to probe the caller with a clarifying query to elicit more specific information when "having a heart attack" is the only complaint initially mentioned.
