A member asked:
Please tell me, could you explain me what's the difference between heart attack and heart failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart attack: Heart attack is also called myocardial infarction. It is death of some amount of heart muscle caused by blockage of a heart artery and can result in sudden death. Heart failure is when the heart is not pumping adequately to supply the body's need for blood flow. It can be caused by heart attack or other abnormalities.
