    This document outlines the risk factors and disease process for myocardial infarction (MI), or heart attack. It lists modifiable risk factors like hypertensive vascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. It also lists non-modifiable risk factors like increasing age, female gender at menopause, and genetics. The disease process involves atherosclerotic plaque building up in coronary arteries, eventually rupturing and blocking blood flow, causing chest pain and cell death. A MI is diagnosed through changes in EKG, cardiac enzymes, and symptoms.
