A heart attack, also known as a "myocardial infarction" (MI), occurs when there is a blockage of blood flow in one or more of the coronary blood vessels (arteries) that supply blood to your heart muscle. The immediate treatment goal for a heart attack is to prevent damage to the heart. Timely and proper intervention can dramatically improve heart attack survival rates.
