What is a Heart Attack?

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked, most commonly due to a blood clot in a coronary artery. When oxygen-rich blood cannot reach the heart muscle, tissue damage begins within minutes. This makes a heart attack a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.

Common symptoms of a heart attack include:

Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow as quickly as possible to limit heart damage. Depending on the severity of blockage, this may involve medications, angioplasty, or surgical procedures such as bypass surgery.
