What is a Heart Attack?
- When the blood supply to the heart is significantly impeded or blocked, a heart attack happens.
- The accumulation of fat, cholesterol, and other chemicals in the heart's (coronary) arteries is typically what causes the obstruction.
- Plaques are the name given to the fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits.
- Atherosclerosis is the name for the process of plaque accumulation.
- A plaque may occasionally burst and generate a clot that restricts blood flow.
- A portion of the heart muscle can be harmed or destroyed by a lack of blood flow.

What is arteriosclerosis?
- When the arteries—the blood channels that transport oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body—become thick and stiff, blood flow to the organs and tissues may occasionally be restricted. This condition is known as arteriosclerosis.
