Heart Attack</h1>
<div id="intro">
   When the blood supply to part of the heart muscle, the myocardium, is stopped, a heart attack occurs.  This happens when one or more of the arteries supplying blood to the heart becomes blocked.  The rate of heart attacks each year is on the decline overall, but the decline in women is not as significant as it is in men.
