Introduction
A heart attack, medically known as myocardial infarction, is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is suddenly blocked. This blockage is usually caused by a clot in the coronary arteries, leading to damage or death of heart tissue. Immediate conventional medical treatment is essential to save life.
Homeopathy does not replace emergency care, but it can play a supportive role in recovery, prevention of complications, and strengthening the cardiovascular system after the acute phase. Remedies are selected based on individual symptoms, constitution, and emotional state.
