Heart Attack Symptoms | Heart Attack vs Heart Burn | Chest pain (Types) | In Tamil | drdhivyasushil

A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is severely reduced or blocked. Like all other tissues in our body heart muscles also need oxygen rich blood to function properly. Now the arteries wrapping around the heart is called coronary arteries which supply the oxygen rich blood to the heart.
Coronary artery disease is the main cause of heart attack. The blockage of arteries is usually due to a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances. The fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits are called plaques. The process of plaque buildup is called atherosclerosis.
Sometimes, a plaque can rupture and form a clot that blocks blood flow. A lack of blood flow, typically caused by a blockage in coronary artery, can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle. When a part of your heart can’t pump because it’s dying from lack of blood flow, it can disrupt the pumping sequence for your entire heart. That reduces or even stops blood flow to the rest of your body, which can be deadly if not addressed in time
A heart attack is also called a myocardial infarction.
A less common cause is a severe spasm, or sudden contraction, of a coronary artery that can stop blood flow to the heart muscle.
