Question

State a few reasons that can lead to heart attack.

Answer 1

Heart attack occurs when the blood supply to heart muscle stops due to blockage. Without blood, the tissue loses oxygen and dies. It is a lifestyle disease because it is associated with the way a person lives. Some ill habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, consumption of junk food leading to obesity and lack of physical exercise can lead to this. It can also happen due to mental stress and anxiety.
