A C U T E M Y O C A R D I A L I N F A R C T I O N š« Did you know this? š¤ A heart attack, also known as myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing damage to the heart muscle. This blockage is often due to a blood clot forming in a coronary artery, which supplies blood to the heart. Symptoms of a heart attack can include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, nausea, and lightheadedness. If you suspect someone is having a heart attack, it's crucial to call emergency services immediately. Prompt medical treatment, such as angioplasty or thrombolytic therapy, can help restore blood flow and minimize damage to the heart.
