This blockage typically results from the accumulation of fat, cholesterol, and other substances in the coronary arteries, known as plaques. The formation of these fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits is referred to as atherosclerosis. In certain instances, a plaque may rupture, leading to the formation of a clot that obstructs the normal blood flow. Insufficient blood supply can cause damage or complete destruction of a portion of the heart muscle. A heart attack occurs when there is a blockage in an artery responsible for supplying blood and oxygen to the heart. Over time, the accumulation of fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits forms plaques in the heart's arteries. If one of these plaques ruptures, it can lead to the formation of a blood clot, which in turn can obstruct arteries and trigger a heart attack. During a heart attack, inadequate blood flow results in th...
