What are heart attacks and strokes?

A. Heart Attacks are also called coronary occlusions. The heart has its own blood supply from the coronary artery to nourish the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients. When that artery becomes blocked due to a buildup of fat and salt in the diet over time, the blood supply to the heart muscle ceases, and a small part of the heart muscle dies. This is accompanied by considerable pain.
