Heart Attack

What Is a Heart Attack?

A heart attack is a critical medical condition where the blood flow to the heart is severely reduced due to blockage or congestion. The blockage is usually due to prolonged build-up of cholesterol (plaque), fat, etc. that results in coronary heart diseases.

In some cases, the plaque ruptures causing a clot that restricts the blood flow to the heart. Eventually, the lack of blood in the heart may lead to serious damage to the heart muscles. Therefore, it is important to seek medical care from the doctor to restore blood flow and prevent cardiovascular damage.  

The heart muscles may get damaged and begin to die. Without treatment, the heart muscles will experience irreversible damage and may die.
