Heart Attack

Heart Attack

A heart attack, medically known as a myocardial infarction (MI), occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart muscle becomes blocked, preventing oxygen from reaching the heart. Without oxygen, the affected part of the heart begins to die, leading to permanent damage if not treated immediately.

This blockage is most often caused by the buildup of plaque (fat, cholesterol, and other substances) inside the arteries that supply blood to the heart — known as coronary arteries. When a plaque ruptures, it forms a blood clot, which stops blood flow.
