While playing on her swing set, 10-year-old yasmin falls and breaks her right leg. at the er, yasmin's parents learn that she has broken the end of her tibia where the epiphysis meets the diaphysis. her fracture is set and heals eventually.
8 years later, during a routine doctor's exam, yasmin learns that her right leg is 2 cm shorter than her left, probably due to the accident. what might have caused this difference?

you know that this symptom is misleading and quite often is related to: heart attack

a heart attack is a condition that occurs when the blood flow that transports oxygen to the heart muscle is damaged or cut off completely. the coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood flow can be blocked by the accumulation of plaque. also, when the plaque within the heart artery breaks, it creates blood clot that can also hinder the blood flow. men that are over 45years of age and women that are over 55years of age are at risk of having a heart attack. the symptoms of a heart attack include chest discomfort, chest pain, coughing, and shortness of breath.
