A Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) occurs when a Coronary Artery is blocked by plaque or a blood clot.  When this happens, the heart muscle beyond the blockage doesn’t receive oxygen.  This part of the heart muscle dies.  This damage cannot be reversed.  Though many people survive Heart Attacks, a Heart Attack can be deadly.

 
Evaluating Your Heart Muscle

By now, you’ve most likely had at least one diagnostic test.  Stress tests and Electrocardiogram can show whether heart muscle has been damaged. 

They can also show how the heart responds to stress.  Depending on your test results, your doctor may recommend Cardiac Catheterisation.
