Firstly, lets remember what Bernoulli's Principle tells us. Bernoulli's Principle states that the faster a fluid moves, the lower the pressure of the fluid.

So what can cause a heart attack? Blood clotting? So as blood flows through the body, it can encounter blockage and causing the cross sectional area of the arteries to drop. So by the continuity of a steadily flowing fluid (Q = Av) that the volume / time at one point of an artery, is the same at another point. We know if the cross sectional area drops, the velocity of the blood will increase. Which during a heart attack we can notice that our BPM increases.

So from Bernoulli's Principle we can say that if there's blockage in our arteries, blood flowing through that part will cause a lower blood pressure and the velocity to increase. (Higher Beats / Minute). Which are typical signs of a Heart Attack!

How can this be fixed? EMTs can sometimes administer nitroglycerin which dilates the coronary arteries which improves blood flow.

You just want to no what causes chest pain after a heart attack?

Chest pain after a heart attack or during a heart attck is caused by constriction of the blood vessels. Your heart needs blood to survive and when the vessels constrict, it limits bloodflow to your heart. This causes intense pain--that is why you are given nitroglycerin tablets. Nitro opens the vessels.
