A secondary data analysis of nine cross-sectional studies is presented to identify and discuss the various clusters of symptoms of acute myocardial infraction (AMI). The analysis reveals five distinct clusters in AMI that normally vary with age, race and sex, and hence should be taught about to the public clearly so that they can assess their symptoms more efficiently and can seek the necessary treatment.
