Best Answer

Most heart attacks occur as a result of coronary artery disease This disease is the buildup of plaque on the inner walls of the arteries leading to the heart. Eventually, a section of plaque can break open, causing a blood clot to form at the site. A heart attack occurs if the clot becomes large enough to cut off most or all of the blood flow through the artery.

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.
