Heart Attack
What is a heart attack?
A Heart Attack is when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked. The blockage is the most often a build-up of fat cholesterol and another symptom that forms plaque in the artery that feeds the heart.
How do you know you're having a heart attack?
Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in your chest or arms that may spread to your neck.
How to prevent it?
Taking medications can reduce your risk of a subsequent heart attack and help your damaged heart function better.

Valves- The valves let blood flow to the atria and ventricles.
