| Heart
Attack A heart attack (acute myocardial infarction or AMI) occurs when blood stops flowing to a part of the heart muscle. The lack of blood flow is often caused by a clot in one of the heart's blood vessels. Without the oxygen carried in the blood, part of the heart muscle dies or is damaged. |
| Heart
Failure Heart failure, also called congestive heart failure, is a life-threatening condition in which the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the rest of the body. |
| Patient
