Acute Coronary Syndrome & Heart Attack (ACS)Description
A heart attack, also called an acute myocardial infarct (AMI), is caused by a blockage in the heart's arteries that completely cuts off the blood supply to a portion of the heart. Without prompt medical treatment, this blockage can damage or destroy heart tissue and can kill. According to the American Heart Association, about 735,000 people in the U.S. have heart attacks each year and about 120,000 of those affected die
