What happens during Heart Attack | Symptoms Precautions | Heart attack

  Approximately 7 million people around the world die from heart attacks every year, and cardiovascular disease, which causes heart attacks and other problems like strokes, is the world's leading killer.   So what causes a heart attack? Source: Internet Like all muscles, the heart needs oxygen, and during a heart attack, it can't get enough. Fatty deposits, or plaques , develop on the walls of our coronary arteries. Those are the vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the heart. These plaques grow as we age, sometimes getting chunky, hardened, or enflamed. Eventually, the plaques can turn into blockages. If one of the plaques ruptures or cracks, a blood clot will form around it in minutes, and a partially closed artery can become completely blocked. Blood flow is cut off to the cardiac muscle and the oxygen-starved cells start to die within several minutes. This is a myocardial infarction , or heart attack .   Things can rapidly deteriorate in the absence of ...
