Causes of Acute Coronary Syndrome

Fatty Deposits: 

 Buildup on the walls of blood vessels (coronary arteries) that supply blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the heart muscles

Rupture or Split of Fatty Deposits:

Leads to the formation of a blood clot, which can block blood flow to the heart muscles.

Low Oxygen Supply:

 Results in cell death in heart muscles, known as a heart attack.

Damage to Muscle Tissues:

 Even without cell death, reduced oxygen can lead to impaired heart muscle function known as unstable angina.
