The questions is not clear, but what happens is we all have plague build up in our coronary arteries. Once this plague reaches a certain stage the blood flow(which carries oxygen and nutrients to all muscles) is reduced or stopped. The heart muscle dies (like all muscles) without oxygen and dies, there by causing pain. The person then experiences a heart attack.
