The heart is a pump that both circulates blood and uses it to obtain oxygen and nourishment. Circulating blood enters the Atria (top chambers), is pumped to the Ventricles (bottom chambers) and out. Every time the heart contracts or beats, this happens. Blood for nourishment enters the heart muscle via the coronary arteries, which are attached to the base of the Aorta (the vessel that leaves the Left Ventricle, and pumps blood to the body). When you have a heart attack, the heart is either quivering like a bowl of jello, or at a standstill. There is blood still in the chambers, but no pressure to push the blood into the coronary arteries. The heart muscle dies.
