Heart Attack
Heart Attack Symptoms and Causes
A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when one or more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged lack of oxygen caused by blocked blood flow to the heart muscle. The blockage is often a result of atherosclerosis — a buildup of plaque composed of fat deposits, cholesterol and other substances.
