HEART ATTACKS AND STROKES
The heart has two coronary arteries which supply oxygen and nutrients to the beating heart muscle. A blockage in the arteries leads to myorcardial infarction, otherwise known as a heart attack. This happens because a blockage in the artery prevents the heart from receiving energy or nutrients. If a section of the heart doesn't get enough oxygen, that section of the heart muscle be...gins to die. If build-ups of cholesterol and plaque form, the lumen (opening of the artery) narrows, restricting blood flow. If plaque ruptures, blood clotting is triggered. Blot clots are know as coronary thrombosis, or stoke. https://docs.google.com/viewer… RECOGNIZING SYMPTOMS The most common warning symptoms of a heart attack for both men and women are: -Chest pain or discomfort.
