[gotcha] Ruling out myocardial infarction due to absence of chest pain or normal heart rate

Never rule out a heart attack based solely on the absence of classic chest pain, especially in women, the elderly, or diabetics. Escalate atypical symptoms \(fatigue, nausea, jaw/back pain\) to emergency services.

Journey Context:
AI triage logic often relies on textbook 'crushing chest pain' as a hard rule-in. However, women and diabetics frequently experience 'silent' or atypical MIs. Relying on textbook symptoms causes fatal triage failures. Nausea or sudden extreme fatigue in these demographics must be treated as a red flag.
