Q

How can a heart attack occur from chd

A
  1. The coronary arteries may become blocked by a build-up of fatty material, caused by certain kinds of ‘bad’ cholesterol. As the fatty material increases, one or more coronary arteries narrow, and can become blocked.

2.If a blockage builds up, the amount of oxygen and glucose reaching the heart muscle is reduced. Therefore respiration cannot occur . a heart attack is the result if nothing is done about it..
