Knowing the warning signs of heart attack and acting quickly can reduce the damage to your heart muscle and increase your chance of survival.   To perform its duties, the heart muscle needs a generous supply of oxygen and nutrients, which it receives from blood pumped through the coronary arteries and their branches. A heart attack occurs when a blood clot blocks one or more of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. The medical term for a heart attack is acute myocardial infarction (AMI).  The most common underlying cause of a heart attack is coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when fatty deposits (called plaque or atheroma) slowly build up on the inner wall of the coronary arteries and cause the arteries to become narrow.  If a blood clot forms in a narrowed artery and completely blocks the blood supply to a part of your heart, it will cause a heart attack. The severity of the heart attack depends on how much heart muscle is permanently damaged.  A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to the heart is blocked and your heart muscle can’t get enough oxygen. A common symptom of a heart attack is chest pain that may spread to your arms, neck, jaw or back. Heart attacks are mostly caused by coronary heart disease which starves your heart of oxygen. You can reduce your risk of having a heart attack by adopting healthy lifestyle habits.
