Infarto ( Spanish for heart attack) is a hidden camera show on Azteca 13 in Mexico and Azteca América in the United States. People appearing on the show have been subjected to pranks such as the victim believing that they will be sacrificed in a cult ritual or believing that they will be murdered by axe-wielding neighbors amid a blackout. Because of the extreme and traumatizing nature of the show's content, the authenticity of the show is heavily debated. Sci-Fi Channel's original show Scare Tactics is modeled after this concept.
In the United States, despite Azteca América's limited availability as the network was shown on mostly low-powered TV stations, the show has caught attention of a couple late night talk shows.
