What is a Heart Attack?

A heart attack, medically known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is suddenly blocked. This blockage is most commonly caused by a blood clot forming over fatty deposits (plaque) inside the coronary arteries. When blood flow is cut off, the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen and begins to suffer damage.

Common warning signs of a heart attack include:

A heart attack is a medical emergency. Immediate treatment is crucial to restore blood flow, limit heart muscle damage, and save life. Treatment options often include medications, angioplasty, or bypass surgery, depending on the severity and location of the blockage.
