Contrary to popular belief, a heart attacks isn’t a blockage inside of the heart. A heart attack is a blockage of the coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle with oxygenated blood.

So let’s assume you get a blood clot here — it blocks the blood flow downstream, meaning the heart muscle doesn’t get oxygenated blood and heart tissue downstream starts to die.
