 Did you know that around 7 million people worldwide lose their lives to heart attacks each year? It's a massive deal because heart attacks are a leading cause of death globally. But have you ever wondered what exactly happens during a heart attack? Sit back and relax because in the next 60 seconds I'm going to walk you through this heart-pounding journey. So keep watching.

Now picture the coronary arteries, the vital pipelines carrying oxygen-rich blood to your heart. As we get older, these arteries can start collecting fatty deposits. Over time they can get really chunky or even inflamed. It's like a ticking time bomb inside your arteries.
