Heart Attack
A heart attack happens when the heart does not get enough blood supply for a period of time. Part or all of the heart muscle dies.
Signs & Symptoms
A heart attack may have warning signs. (See below). It can occur without signs, too. This is called a "silent" heart attack.
Causes
The
most common cause is one or more blood clots that block an artery in
the heart. Often, a blood clot forms in an artery already narrowed by
plaque.
Having a heart attack in the past increases the risk for another one.
Spasms
occur in the large coronary artery. This can be triggered by: Heavy
physical exertion, such as shoveling snow; exposure to cold; severe
emotional stress; and having a heavy meal. These triggers are more
likely to affect persons who are not active.
Common places a heart attack pain is felt.
Cocaine or amphetamine abuse can cause a sudden heart attack. This can happen in persons with no signs of heart disease.
