A heart attack happens when blood flow to part of the heart is disrupted, causing heart muscle in that area to begin to die. Heart attacks are usually caused by coronary artery disease which makes fatty deposits called plaque build up inside the arteries of the heart. Join our support group for heart attacks to learn more by meeting doctors and other patients with heart disease who can help.

After the operation strangely the surgeon or his team members did not brief us anythig. On 1st august 12 at 11 AM the nurse in ICCU allowed me to see my wife from a distanceof 12 feet. she was asking for water. At 7:15 PM on 1st august the operating surgeon called me for the first time and told me that he was being candid and my wife had developed arrhythmia and they were keeping their fingers crossed.At 9:12 Pm we wee advised that my wife was dead and we could collect the body after pyment of all dues. I was not given any surgical and medical notes despite request except death certificate attributing death to Cardiogenic shock a few ECGs doppler and angiogram report.
