Myocardial infraction or Heart attack are terms used anonymously, but the preferred term is MI.
In an MI an area of the myocardium is permanently destroyed.
MI is usually caused by reduced or decreased blood flow in a coronary artery due to rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent occlusion of the artery by a thrombus.
Myocardial infarction (MI) death of the cells of an area of the heart muscle (myocardium) as a result of oxygen deprivation, which in turn is caused by obstruction of the blood supply; commonly referred to as a “heart attack.”
MI refers to the processes by which myocardial tissue is destroyed in regions of the heart that are deprived of an adequate blood supply because of reduced coronary artery blood flow.
Eighty percent to 90% of all acute MI are secondary to thrombus formation. When thrombus develops , perfusion to the myocardium distal to the occlusion is halted, resulting in necrosis.The myocardium receives its blood supply from the two large coronary arteries and their branches.
Occlusion of one or more of these blood vessels (coronary occlusion) is one of the major causes of myocardial infarction.
The occlusion may result from the formation of a clot that develops suddenly when an athermanous plaque ruptures through the sub layers of a blood vessel, or when the narrow, roughened inner lining of a scleroses artery leads to complete thrombosis.
The acute MI process takes time. Cardiac cells can withstand in ischemic conditions for approximately 20 minutes before cellular death begins.
The earliest tissue to become ischemic is the sub endocardium (the innermost layer of tissue in the cardiac muscle)
If ischemia persists, it takes approximately 4 to 6 hours for the entire thickness if the heart muscle to become necrosis.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) also known as atherosclerotic heart disease, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, or ischemic heart disease (IHD), is the most common type of heart disease and cause of heart attacks. The disease is caused by plaque building up along the inner walls of the arteries of the heart, which narrows the lumen of arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart.

Acute coronary syndrome result from a sudden blockage in a coronary artery. this blockage causes unstable angina or heart attack (MI), depending on the location and amount of blockage.
people who experience an ACS usually have chest pressure or ache, shortness of breath and fatigue.
People who think they are experiencing ACS should call for emergency help.
Doctors use ECG and blood test (troponin level) to determine whether a person is experiencing an ACS.
Treatment varies depending on the type of syndrome but usually include attempts to increase blood flow to affected area.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
