**If both “heart attack” and “myocardial infarction” are listed, choose myocardial infarction and delete “heart attack”.
*Confirm that the all the causes are linked and appropriate references are cited.
*In case the cause does not link to a page on wikidoc but might fall under another page create an internal link as follows:
