The left one. Classically, the pain of a heart attack will radiate to the neck, jaw, or left shoulder and arm. However, in reality, the pain can radiate almost anywhere - including to the abdomen, back, neck, jaw, or either shoulder or arm.

The pain of a heart attack often (but not always) radiates down the left arm, often on the "pinky side".

The pain can also radiate to the left side of a person's jaw.
