The cause of a heart attack is usually the formation of a clot in one of the coronary arteries, which blocks the artery and leads to a critical undersupply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. The human heart muscle can survive for approx. 20-30 minutes without oxygen, after which irreversible damage and death of heart muscle cells occurs (heart attack). Rapid action by the person affected, their environment and the emergency medical staff is crucial! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
