Heart Attack(Myocardial Infarction)
A heart attack (Myocardial Infarction) happens when one or more areas of the heart muscle don’t get enough oxygen.
This happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked.
If the blood and oxygen supply is cut off, muscle cells of the heart begin to suffer damage and start to die.
Causes
The blockage is caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries.
Plaque is made up of deposits, cholesterol, and other substances.
When a plaque ruptures, a blood clot quickly forms
The blood clot is the actual cause of the heart attack
