Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most direct final trigger for a heart attack in an area with plaque formation is blood clot formation in the swollen area. The plaque buildup creates a rough surface on the inner lining of the artery, which can cause blood clots to form. If a blood clot blocks the flow of blood to the heart muscle, it can cause a heart attack. A sudden rise in HDL levels or drop in LDL levels, along with thinning of the blood, may help reduce the risk of heart attack but are not direct triggers. Eating a fatty meal may contribute to plaque build-up but is not a direct trigger for a heart attack.
