Also called acute myocardial infarction, heart attacks occur when not enough oxygen reaches the heart, typically because of a blockage or clot. When a heart attack happens, timely use of aspirin, other medications and treatments can reduce damage to the heart. Heart attack is not the same as heart failure. |
