A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing damage to the heart muscle. This blockage can lead to tissue death if not treated promptly. The main cause of a heart attack is coronary artery disease, which narrows the arteries supplying blood to the heart. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, and discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Immediate medical attention is crucial to restore blood flow and minimize heart damage.

Your doctor could recommend a cardiac catheterization to see the degree of blockage.
Maybe a stent or two or a bypass. I had a calcium scoring test of 1350 and shortly after a bypass.
