Understanding Heart Attack

Acute coronary syndrome, also known as a heart attack, is a serious heart disorder when the heart muscle does not have a smooth blood flow. This situation will interfere with the function of the heart to circulate blood throughout the body. Another term in the medical world, a heart attack is also known as a myocardial infarction.

A heart attack must occur due to difficulty and obstruction of blood flow to the heart muscle. The main cause of this condition is coronary heart disease, a condition that is blockage of the blood vessels that supply blood quickly to the heart (coronary blood vessels).

This is due to your unconscious cholesterol deposits that form plaques on the walls of blood vessels. This is the reason why high cholesterol can put you at risk for heart disease and leaving your beloved family because you will experience death.
