Are heart attack and heart failure the same?
No. A heart attack (called a myocardial infarction, or MI) is an acute event caused by lack of oxygen and metabolic substrates to a particular part of the heart, or the entire heart in certain conditions, such as shock. Heart failure, as it is frequently called, is actually a misnomer. It refers to a relative weakness of the heart, causing its pumping action to not be as efficient as it once was. For instance, a healthy heart has a pumping efficiency (Ejection fraction = the percentage of blood in the ventricle that is pumped out with each heart beat) of about 55-60%. In "heart failure," the ejection fraction is less than this. Heart failure is frequently seen after heart attacks, but may be caused by many other conditions as well.

These can also be seen on EKG.

The General Term of Heart Palpatations?
Heart palpitations happen when the heart beat becomes abnormal to the extent that it brings a conscious awareness from the individual experiencing them. There are numerous reasons for this to happen they are categorized into three basic forms. Sympathetic nerve overstimulation as seen with psychological stress can affect the heart rate and rhythm. A cardiac dysrrhythmia, which usually manifest as a result of more severe medical conditions such as heart block may cause the problem. There are also hyperdynamic circulation complications, as seen with pregnancy and other issues.
