Heart attacks most often occur as a result of coronary heart disease or coronary artery disease. This is a condition in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart.

A less common cause of heart attack is a severe spasm (tightening) of a coronary artery. The spasm cuts off blood flow through the artery. Spasms can occur in coronary arteries that aren't affected by atherosclerosis.

Heart attacks can be associated with or lead to severe health problems, such as heart failure, arrhythmias, life threatening cardiogenic shock.

Some of the most common warning symptoms of a heart attack for both men and women are:

  • Chest pain or Discomfort

  • People who have high blood sugar (diabetes) may not have chest pain even with severe blockages due to peripheral neuropathy

The signs and symptoms of a heart attack can develop suddenly. However, they also can develop slowly over a period of time.
