Help PREVENT another HEART ATTACK
A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked by a blood clot. A blocked artery prevents oxygen-rich blood from reaching a section of the heart. If the blood flow is completely disrupted, that part of the heart can die.
Most people survive their first heart attack and can return to a normal life, but that new life will require some lifestyle changes that may help avoid another heart attack.
