From inside the body, a heart attack is more predictable than one might think. Coronary Artery Disease is the most popular cause and it occurs when the arteries get clogged with a fatty substance that builds up in the walls. It builds up when there is too much fat and cholesterol in a person's diet. When that much of the stuff forms as the blood moves through, a blood clot can form. During a heart attack the heart muscle becomes damaged when the supply of oxygen gets cut off. If there is no blood pumping to the heart, it stops beating and therefore causes a heart attack.
Heart Attacks often be explained by medical pasts such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure, or by a family history of heart disease. But they also be explained by external circumstances like weather or the time of day are some occasions that pose greater risk for people with heart disease. At certain times of the year, heart-attack rates increase, and the initial reason in that trend is hard to avoid.
Roughly 1.1 million people suffer heart attacks every year and just about half of those heart attacks result in death.

Your blog was really well written, and I found it extremely interesting.
I learned a lot of things that I didn't previously know about heart attacks. One fact that stuck out to me was that roughtly 1.1 million people suffer from heart attacks, half resulting in death. That's crazy!
You did a good job. I will agree with Katie on how your blog was well written and very interesting. I cant fathom the thought that 1.1 million people suffer from heart attacks. Absolutely insane.
