    Myocardial infarction is caused by a rupture of atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary artery, activating platelets and forming a thrombus that occludes blood flow. This leads to ischemia and cell death in the heart muscle. Modifiable risk factors include hypertension, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity, while non-modifiable factors are aging, male gender, and family history. Signs and symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain, pain in other areas like the arms and jaw, nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, sweating, and dizziness.
