A massive heart attack is when the blood flow to the heart gets cut off and causes damage to the heart. Depending on how bad is the damage it makes it acute, moderate,or a massive heart attack.
A heart attack occurs when the blood supply of the heart muscle itself severely has reduced or stopped.
The reduction or stoppage happens when one or more coronary arteries is blocked

A massive heart attack involves blockage of a major artery that supplies blood to the heart itself. The left anterior descending coronary artery is sometimes referred to as the widowmaker because blockage of this artery produces a massive heart attack.
