update:
naturally: NPR - What is a 'Massive Heart Attack'?
You know what I've never understood? Why do newspapers always say somebody died of a massive heart attack? Didn't New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner just die of a heart attack? Is it really relevant that it was massive?
It's the same thing as when someone dies in a horrific car accident, or is brutally stabbed in a murder. Aren't fatal car accidents all generally pretty horrific? Isn't a stabbing murder by nature brutal?

Oh man, it's been forever since I've had a calzone.

I don't get it, what do calzones have to do with massive heart attacks?
And heart attacks can occur due to loss of circulation in one of 3 main arteries around the heart, which supply a few different regions, or the 2 upper chambers and 2 lower chambers. A "minor" heart attack might involve one of the 3 arteries, and damage a small area of heart muscle; whereas a "massive" heart attack might involve all the main arteries (and perhaps require a triple or higher bypass operation to fix, if it were detected beforehand), and damage so much heart muscle that pretty much no blood can be pumped effectively anymore. Yeahhhhh, I just nerded that shite up.
I got nothing for why stabbings are brutal though. Maybe if it involves mutiple stab wounds it's brutal?
