HEART ATTACK - CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT

Heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI). Myo means muscle and cardial means heart. Infarction refers to the death of tissue because of the lack of blood supply. The blockage of blood is commonly caused due to the accumulation of fat and cholesterol in blood vessels causing the reduction of their diameters.

Detecting heart attacks can be tricky as sometimes the presenting signs and symptoms can be atypical which can be hard to recognise and lead to critical loss of time & tissue.
