Which body system linked with heart attack?

The body system primarily linked with a heart attack is the cardiovascular system. This system includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, and is responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout the body. A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked, often due to a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, leading to potential damage or death of heart tissue. Other systems, such as the endocrine system (which influences risk factors like cholesterol and blood pressure), also play a role in heart health.
