If your CAD is quite bad, and you have lots of
fat on the inside of the heart blood vessels, than the heart muscle does
not receive the blood (and therefore the oxygen) that it needs. If any of
the heart muscle does not receive blood for longer than a couple of minutes,
the muscle will die. This causes a heart attack. |
