thanks for choosing health care magic.See heart attack occurs when one or more of blood vessels supplying blood to heart gets partial or completely blocked.Angiography will tell more about it.To avoid this happening again you need aggressive medical management as advised by your doctor.Make sure he also goes for regular check up and do regular exercise and take health diet.Lots people leave happily after heart attack with due care so do not worry.

2) diet should be low salt and no fatty diet. advisable to take lots of fruits and vegetables. no junk food or fast food
3) daily morning walk
4) take lots of natural antioxidant

6) live a life with relax
