How does a heart attack occur?

Heart attack is triggered by the accumulation of fat called plaque in the coronary arteries. When plaque is thick and hardened, it will lead to atherosclerosis - a common heart disease. Atherosclerosis can block blood vessels and prevent oxygen from circulating to the heart muscle, leading to heart attack.

There are also other forms of heart disease including cardiac arrhythmias and congenital health problems. Some risk factors for heart disease are genetic, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, severe stress and a sedentary lifestyle. However, you may have a heart attack without getting these diseases.

In addition, there is a rare cause of heart disease due to blood clots and blood vessels in the heart. This is called spontaneous coronary dissection, the most common disease in the age of 30-50.
