Abstract
Copyr 1 YGEN. Approximately every 43 seconds, someone in the United States has a heart attack. Of the 735,000 Americans who experience one annually, approximately 15% will die. Truth be known, the onset of a heart attack is a fairly straightforward event. A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to the heart is lost or unduly restricted, typically because one of the coronary arteries that supplies blood to the heart muscle is blocked. Such a blockage usually is the result of the buildup of plaque within the wall of the artery.
