STEMI occurs when there is a total blockage of the coronary artery and the heart muscle is dying.

Other heart attacks involve a partial blockage of the artery.

Tobacco use, smoking, diabetes, cholesterol, alcohol, drugs like amphetamines, cocaine and less physical activity are considered to be the lifestyle habits that trigger STEMI.

Having a family history of heart diseases can also increase your risk of developing STEMI.
