HEART ATTACK NATURAL REMEDY (myocardial infarction)

Heart attack is the attack, damage or death to part of the heart muscle which could result to heart failure. Heart attack could be caused by the blockage of one or more arteries supplying blood to the heart.

A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked, most often by a build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). The interrupted blood flow can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle.

Reducing your risk of a heart attack

There are five main steps you can take to reduce your risk of having a heart attack (or having another heart attack):

smokers should quit smoking
