A heart attack or myocardial infarction occurs when blood supply to a part of the heart is blocked. This usually happens when long-standing deposits called plaques in the arteries of the heart rupture triggering the formation of a blood clot. Without blood supply, the heart muscle begins to die. Heart attacks are the most common cause of death in both men and women across the world. Chest pain, sweating, and breathlessness are some of the well known symptoms of a heart attack. Many advances have been made in the prevention and management of heart attacks. Timely intervention can prevent long-term damage to the heart muscles and the ensuing complications

Coronary arteries are the major blood vessels that supply the heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients. Fatty streaks or plaques will narrow the coronary arteries and reduce the blood flow to the heart. Because coronary artery disease often develops over decades, it can go virtually unnoticed until it produces a heart attack.
