Heart Attack

HEART ATTACK - When one of the coronary arteries is damaged and if fats are deposited in some of their parts, or if blood clots (Thrombosis) obstructing the flow of the blood, circulation stops there, then that part of the muscle where blood circulation has stopped become so soft and useless.

This is called Myocardial Infarction. And the symptoms developing then in the patient are referred to as heart attack. If the patient survives through the crisis caused due to heart attack, the softened part of the muscles becomes a scar and in a few weeks becomes hard again.
Though suffering due to heart attack varies from patient to patient, yet there are some common symptoms of which the most common one is pain in the chest.
