How Plaque Leads to a Heart Attack

The Boston Scientific - Cardiac Solutions

Plaques are fatty deposits that line the arteries that feed blood to your heart. Over time the plaques enlarge and narrow the arteries. A heart attack occurs when the plaque ruptures or explodes, causing a blod clot to form and totally close off the blood supply to an area of your heart. That darkened area can form a scar.
