Before we discuss more about the heart attack, it helps us to understand first, what is the Heart and How it works.
The heart is located above the diaphragm, in the middle of the chest cavity slightly to the left, in a room called the mediastinum (space between the left and right lung). Approximately two-thirds of the heart lies in the left of the midline of the body.
The heart is an organ that is the center of a system in the body that is
involved in maintaining Homeostasis mechanisms, from the Latin, Homeo =
same / unchanging, static = balanced state. The system in question is the cardiovascular system, from the Latin cardio = heart; Vascular = Vein. The cardiovascular system is also known as the heart of the system of blood vessels.
The main function of the heart as a pump that drives blood that can flow smoothly in the blood vessels of the circulatory system throughout the body. Blood
himself carrying essential supplies oxygen and nutrients in the form of
a network, as well as waste material derived from the remnants of
cellular metabolism of tissues, most hormones are released in the body

the blood to reach all tissues of the body to supply all the needs of
the body's tissues and remove the remains of metabolism. Contraction of the heart that causes blood to flow to the rest of the blood vessels in the body. (Blood will be discussed in a separate article)
