The most common is arterial blockage due to a clot, stopping the flow of blood to the heart.
Also your heart can have a erratic beating in which blood can not flow to the heart muscle
and arterial collapse, again shutting off blood to the heart.

A heart attack occurs when there is a severe blockage in an artery that carries oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. The blockage is usually caused by the buildup of plaque (deposits of fat-like substances, or atherosclerosis) along the walls of the arteries. The sudden lack of blood flow to the heart muscle deprives the heart of needed oxygen and nutrients. If the blockage is not opened quickly, the heart muscle is likely to suffer serious, permanent damage as areas of tissue die.
The medical term for a heart attack is acute myocardial infarction. Acute means sudden, myo refers to muscle, and cardia refers to heart. The myocardium is the medical name for the heart muscle. Infarct means that (heart) tissue has been destroyed or killed because of the clogging of the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the heart.

Heart Attack is fat that blocks your arteries and thus reducing or blocking the blood and oxygen flow to your heart. The primary cause for heart attack is bad food habits( eating lot of fatty foods, more of read meat, diary products, etc) and lack of exercise which leads to overweight. Other factors could be smoking, stress, which could lead to blood pressure related problems. BP could be one of the symptons. Check for BP, sugar level, cholestrol level regularly.

Michael Jackson did no longer have a coronary heart attack. He experienced Cardiac Arrest and docs could desire to no longer revive him. coronary heart attack isn't an identical factor as Cardiac Arrest. The post-mortem will start up the following day to be certain why he went into Cardiac Arrest.

there are several risk factors as:
high levels of cholesterol in the blood
high blood pressure
diabetese
smoking
high cholesterol contribute to the formation of the atherosclerotic plaque
high blood pressure causes endothelial (cells that line the vessels from the inside) damage, & causes pressure over load on the heart & increase both force needed to eject blood & oxygen demand of the heart
diabetes & smoking also cause endothelial damage

I believe the number 1 cause is "hatred". Hatred causes so much stress in the physical body(more than people realize). Hatred itself is a disease. Look at **** Cheney. We know Cheney is full of hatred toward whole nations of people. Steer away from hatred and love everyone. Love really is medicine to the body and spirit.
