The CAUSE Of HEART Attacks

The CAUSE Of HEART Attacks

The CAUSE OF HEART Attacks (medical term: myocardial infarction) is blood vessels that feed your heart being blocked by cholesterol deposits. Cholesterol is a fatty substance.

Your heart is a muscle which pumps blood around your body. Like the rest of the muscles of your body the heart needs blood to nourish it. It gets this by tapping off some of the blood it pumps to your body through some blood vessels around itself. High blood cholesterol levels of these choke vessels by depositing in them. A heart attack happens when your heart can no longer get enough blood and the heart muscle suffocates to death. This is called myocardial infarction and can be seen by characteristic electrical changes on ECG
