This is known as a coronary thrombosis, a myocardial infarction or heart attack. Most commonly a will cause severe chest pains behind the sternum (breast bone), often radiating towards the left arm.

It is the lining of the artery supplying the heart muscle that forms an atherosclerotic plaque. This diseased area of the can, if it ruptures, develop a blood clot on it, comprising blood clotting proteins, platelets and red blood cells. This formation has the potential to seal off the blood supply. |
