Ataque cardíaco.
Un ataque cardíaco es una afección médica emergente que se produce cuando se bloquea o se detiene el flujo de sangre al corazón. Los bloqueos se constituyen a partir de una acumulación de placa, exceso de grasa y colesterol. Los ataques cardíacos son graves y pueden ser mortales. Resulta imprescindible buscar atención médica de emergencia si cree que está experimentando un ataque cardíaco.
