In Israel are treated in hospitals each year about 10 thousand patients suffering from a heart attack. Among those, the mortality rate ranges from 5% to 7% mortality rate among the lowest in the world. The problem is that approximately 3,000 additional patients avoid from coming to the hospital for examination even though they suffer from early signs of heart attack and die at home.
