A heart attack is commonly caused by a blockage of the coronary artery. Cholesterol in the form of plaque builds up on the inside wall of the coronary artery. Over time, plaque accumulation can narrow the artery, reducing blood flow to the heart. This material can also break off and form a blood clot that limits or blocks blood flow to the heart. Less often, a heart attack is caused by a spasm of the heart that may result from drug usage, emotional pain or stress, severe cold, or smoking.
Controlling your blood pressure, cholesterol and reducing your weight by 10 pounds can help decrease a chance a heart attacks.
