Is Cold Sweat A Symptom Of Heart Attack?

What is the common temperature associated with a "cold sweat" that can often accompany a heart attack? Is the term "cold" simply subjective, or does it actually refer to a decrease in the core body temperature or skin temperature below a physiological norm (like 97 degrees F)?
