Heart Attack

The team here at Hope & Grace Cardiac Centre is extremely concerned about reducing your risk of developing a heart attack. A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction (MI), occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked because of plaque build up and subsequent obstruction, usually by a blood clot. This blockage deprives the heart muscle of oxygen and nutrients, causing the muscle cells to be damaged or die.
