Condition #10: Heart Attack
As already mentioned, the heart needs a constant supply of blood if it is to operate as well as it is able to. If this flow of blood is decreased then the functioning of the heart will be affected. If the flow of blood to the heart was to stop completely, however, then the patient is in serious danger.
There are various reasons for a complete blocking of the coronary artery, and one of the most common is fatty tissue becoming dislodged elsewhere and making its way into the artery. Regardless of the cause, if you suspect that somebody is having a heart attack then you should make sure they get emergency medical attention.
