What is a myocardial infarction or heart attack ?

Показать описание
It is a life threatening emergency. It presents itself when, following the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, a blood clot occludes a coronary artery. The obstruction of the artery prevents blood from providing oxygen to the concerned region of the heart. As a consequence, this cardiac region loses the ability to contract and pump blood. Without an immediate intervention, it risks being permanently damaged.

So is it the atherosclerosis plaque directly blocking the blood flow that leads to the heart attack or is it when the plaque breaks free and lodges into the heart, like that of a pulmonary embolism?
