A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when an artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This blockage is often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood. What is a Heart Attack?

Three coronary arteries supply blood to the heart. When one of these arteries becomes completely blocked by a blood clot, it results in a heart attack, also known as MI (Myocardial infarction). The accumulation of cholesterol, foam cells, fibrous tissue, and calcium mainly causes the narrowing of coronary arteries.
