If a blood clot prevents blood from reaching the heart, we call this a ____
A
stroke
B
pulse
C
heart attack
D
hypertension
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If a blood clot narrows one or more of the arteries leading to the heart, muscle pain known as angina can occur. If a blood clot blocks the arteries leading to part of the heart muscle, it will cause a heart attack.

Detailed explanation-2: -A heart attack happens when blood flow to the heart is blocked. During a heart attack, the heart usually doesn’t suddenly stop beating. With an SCA, the heart stops beating. Sometimes an SCA can happen after or during recovery from a heart attack.

Detailed explanation-3: -Myocardial infarction, the medical term for heart attack, literally means “heart tissue damage or death.” Heart attacks most commonly occur when one or more of the coronary arteries-a network of blood vessels that supply blood to the heart-become blocked. Heart muscle becomes starved for oxygen and nutrients.
