Myocardial Infarction Prevention MI Prevention

A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked, often due to a buildup of fat, cholesterol, and other substances in the coronary arteries, forming plaques. This process, known as atherosclerosis, can cause plaques to rupture and form clots that obstruct blood flow. When blood flow is blocked, part of the heart muscle can be damaged or destroyed. If blood flow isn't restored quickly, it can lead to permanent heart damage or death.
