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.

A blockage in the coronary artery is the most common cause of heart disease. A blockage happens when there is a build up of plaque in the inner lining of the artery. This causes the artery to become narrow or blocked. Since the coronary arteries deliver blood to the heart muscle, any blockage can have serious implications. It reduces the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the heart which may lead to heart attack and possibly death.
