It pumps 4 to 5 liters of blood every minute to supply
nutrients and oxygen to all body parts, including itself.

The Heart and Coronary arteries
Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries become
narrowed and hardened due to an excessive build of plaque
The Plaque consists of deposits of cholesterol, other lipids and
calcium.
When the plaque ruptures it causes a Thrombus formation
resulting in sudden, total or near total arterial occlusion.
Alternately the thrombus may break off from a ruptured plaque
and occlude a down stream vessel.
