Suggested Answer:
B
Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked for an extended period, leading to damage or death of the heart muscle cells. This blockage is usually caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. Plaque is composed of fat, cholesterol, and other substances. When a plaque ruptures, it can form a clot that obstructs the blood flow. Symptoms of an MI include chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and sweating. Immediate medical attention is crucial to restore blood flow and minimize heart damage.
