The most common cause is coronary artery disease, where fatty deposits (plaque) build up in the arteries supplying the heart. If a plaque ruptures, it can form a blood clot that blocks the artery.
Other causes:
-Severe narrowing of heart arteries
-Blood clots
-Spasm of coronary artery
-Rarely, drug abuse (like cocaine)
