What is a Heart attack?
- The heart is a muscular organ that requires oxygen and nutrients
for survival. Coronary arteries supply these vital substances in the
form of blood.
- A temporary decrease in blood supply causes the muscle to
starve for oxygen and produces chest discomfort or angina.
- A prolonged and total loss of supply can cause irreversible
muscle damage. This is known as a heart attack.
