Heart Attack? Haart attack is a common misspelling of heart attack.
A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery is severely narrowed or completely blocked, causing a decrease in oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. Risk factors include being overweight, family history of early heart disease, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Some people have no symptoms at all, but other people may experience chest pain, cold sweat, and nausea or vomiting. Many have a full recovery after a heart attack and are able to lead full and productive lives.
