Here are some tasks you can do:

Requests: Sort out information that belongs elsewhere (under acute coronary syndrome, for example) to off-load the article. Be sure to leave stub explanations that create sufficient content for the readers who want to know exclusively about this topic.
Cleanup: Move the article to heart attack.
Sources for the unreferenced sections is top priority!
Expand: External links, but be sure to strictly follow WP:EL.
Stubs: Some of the terms in the "see also" section probably should be mentioned somewhere. First aid section is still stubbish.
Update: *The talk page and archives provide insight in the answers readers come looking for, so most of these things should be inserted. Also some excellent review articles are suggested.
Other: Once all the references are provided, this article should easily pass Good article review, and could move to WP:RFC. The ultimate goal is of course WP:FA.
Please improve this "to do"-box.
