Staying active with regular exercise after heart attack
A heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI) is the death of a segment of heart muscle caused by a loss of blood supply. The blood is usually cut off when an artery supplying the heart muscle is suddenly blocked by a blood clot. If some of the heart muscle dies, patients experience severe chest pain and electrical instability of the heart muscle. It is a serious medical emergency that requires immediate treatment, ideally within an hour.
