Heart attacks, or myocardial infarctions, occur when blood flow to the heart is cut off severely or completely by clogged arteries or blood clots. This causes a loss of oxygen to the heart and results in muscle damage or death. The warning signs of a heart attack can be sudden and intense or can start slowly and progress.
