Heart Attack
What is a heart attack?
A heart attack happens when the flow of oxygen-rich blood in one or more of the coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle, suddenly becomes blocked, and a section of heart muscle can’t get enough oxygen.

Risk & prevention
There is no single cause or cure for heart failure. It develops in part due to risks and contributing causes, some of which are preventable and others that are not.
Common risk factors
Heart failure is the most common cause of hospital admission for older adults and the incidence and prevalence of heart failure increase dramatically with age.
Lifestyle risk factors

Heart failure in women
More women than men die of heart disease each year. This is due in part to the fact that heart disease and its risk factors are often not noticed in women
