Get to the heart of heart attacks THE unprecedented industrialisation and urbanisation of our country after Independence and with change in the lifestyle of our persons has increased stress and strain that has resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of heart attacks. One of the most upsetting facts of this disease is that now it is being increasingly encountered in younger persons in thirties and sometime even in the twenties. A heart attack is when part of the heart muscle is damaged or dies because it doesn't receive oxygen. Oxygen is carried to the heart by the arteries and most heart attacks are caused by the blockage in these arteries. Usually the blockage is caused by atherosclerosis that is the deposition of fatty deposits inside the artery. Heart attacks can also be caused by a blood clot that may get stuck in the narrow part of an artery to the heart. Clots are more likely to form where atherosclerosis makes artery narrower.
