There are a lot of reasons for a heart attack. It might be due to an obstruction in the blood vessels pumping to heart or it can be due to increased cholesterol levels in the circulation. Its better to have a complete look up in the lipid profile in the suspected person to judge the levels of cholesterol and other lipids. While there are many reasons for a myocardial infarction, the common reasons being smoking, fast foods, uncontrolled beverage intake are said to be the primary ones.
