What exactly is a heart attack?

Question

lol. Hoku and Pauly have the exact same answers!

Answer 1

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a section of heart muscle becomes blocked. If the flow of blood isn’t restored quickly, the section of heart muscle becomes damaged from lack of oxygen and begins to die.

Answer 2

Most heart attacks happen when a clot in the coronary artery blocks the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Often this leads to an irregular heartbeat – called an arrhythmia - that causes a severe decrease in the pumping function of the heart. A blockage that is not treated within a few hours causes the affected heart muscle to die.

Answer 9

There's pretty much 2 plumbing systems on the heart.  

The inside of the heart where the blood comes and goes and then there is the outside plumbing on the heart which are the coronary arteries that feed the heart blood so that it can pump.  

An HA happens on the outside plumbing.  If a section of the artery becomes clogged, then it cannot feed part of the heart blood.
