If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off by a blockage, the result is a heart attack.

The blockage of which blood vessel causes a heart attack?

It is not really the blood vessel that starts a heart attack. Instead, it is the process of narrowing of the arteries that causes it. The heart has 3 main blood vessels that supply different parts of it. If any of these vessels get completely blocked by a blood clot or fat deposition, it could lead to a heart attack. Even if the branches of these vessels get blocked, it could lead to a heart attack.
