Well, In my book, the main characters mother suffers a heart attack. The family then calls the doctor in. I'm a little confused about what the doctor should say, "oh she had a heart attack" or "oh she had an internal thing we cannot explain," or something. I want to know if anyone could help me, because all I found when i looked up heart attacks is their symptoms and how to prevent them...
In that case, they did know about heart attacks. They didn't call them heart attacks, though. A weak heart is how they referred to it, and if the person died, they would say something along the lines of "X's heart gave out" or something similar.
