Why Heart attacks become common?

You often see that nowadays the rate of heart attacks has become very large. This happens due to a number of reasons. Today's lifestyle in which we eat a lot of fast food, oily and junk food. Due to which body becomes obese and fatty. Poor physical activity, hypertension, use of tobacco, anxiety and chronic disease like diabetes and blood pressure also increase the chance of heart attack. There is a lot of increase in the number of heart attack patients in India.

Cause of heart attack

First of all we shall know about the difference between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. The blood containing oxygen dissolved in it is called oxygenated blood. Hemoglobin present in RBCs (red blood cells) helps in mixing oxygen with blood. Lungs supply this oxygenated blood into the left chamber of the heart. From the left chamber of the heart the oxygenated blood flows into the whole body. When the blood goes into the right chamber of heart it becomes deoxygenated blood. The blood containing carbon dioxide gas in it is known as the deoxygenated blood. The right ventricle pushes this deoxygenated blood to the lungs where carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen diffuses into the blood. 

Now sometimes the supply of oxygenated blood does not reach the heart muscles causing the heart muscle damage. As Oxygenated blood block due to the clot present inside the blood vessel. This situation can cause a heart attack.
