How to deal with heart attacks
... Heart attacks are caused by a sudden obstruction of the blood supply to part of the heart muscle. The main risk is that the heart will stop beating. If part of the muscle is starved of blood it can cause the muscle to ‘die’ this interrupts the electrical signal that travels across the heart causing ...
