What is a Heart Attack?

A heart attack, medically known as myocardial infarction, occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart muscle is suddenly blocked. This is most commonly caused by the buildup of fatty plaque in the coronary arteries. Without timely treatment, the affected heart muscle can suffer permanent damage.

Common warning signs of a heart attack may include:

Chest pain or pressure, often described as tightness or squeezing
Pain spreading to the arm, shoulder, back, neck, or jaw
Shortness of breath
Nausea, vomiting, or indigestion
Cold sweats, dizziness, or fainting
Unusual or extreme fatigue

A heart attack is a medical emergency that requires immediate hospital care. Rapid diagnosis and timely restoration of blood flow are critical for survival and recovery.
