At
common law, a myocardial infarction is generally a
disease, but may sometimes be an
injury. This has implications for no-fault insurance schemes such as
workers' compensation. A heart attack is generally not covered;
[95] however, it may be a
work-related injury if it results, for example, from unusual emotional stress or unusual exertion.
[96] Additionally, in some jurisdictions, heart attacks suffered by persons in particular occupations such as
police officers may be classified as line-of-duty injuries by statute or policy. In some countries or states, a person who has suffered from a myocardial infarction may be prevented from participating in activity that puts other people's lives at risk, for example driving a car or flying an airplane.
