Myocardial infarction (heart attack)

Damage or death of heart muscle cells, caused by a blockage of an artery that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the heart (coronary artery). Symptoms can vary widely and can be atypical in the elderly, diabetics and women. The most common cause of the blockage is build- up of fatty deposits called plaque in the artery (atherosclerosis). High blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, family history of heart attacks and diabetes increase the risk of having a heart attack. If untreated, heart failure and death can occur, and at times very rapidly.
