Heart Attack occurs when the flow of oxygenated blood to heart muscles is hindered or stopped due to built-up of plaques in coronary arteries. Plaques are waxy substances that built-up over a period of time by the deposit of fat and cholesterol in the blood vessels. This would cause the blood vessel to gradually narrow down in its diameter causing reduced flow of blood to the heart. This is called atherosclerosis. When the flow of blood stops or gets hindered severely, then it is called as Myocardial Infarction or Heart Attack. Given below are tips to prevent a Heart attack.
