New (2026) Warning Signs of a Heart Attack & How to prevent Heart Attack.

 

**************What is a Heart Attack? **************



A heart attack occurs when blood flow that brings oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off. This is due to a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances (plaque) that narrows coronary arteries. This process is called atherosclerosis. When plaque in a heart artery breaks open, a blood clot forms. The clot can block blood flow. When it completely stops blood flow to part of the heart muscle, that portion of muscle begins to die. Damage increases the longer an artery stays blocked. Once some of the heart muscle dies, permanent heart damage results. The amount of damage to the heart muscle depends on the size of the area supplied by the blocked artery and the time between injury and treatment. The blocked artery should be opened as soon as possible to reduce heart damage.
