If the above is the cause of heart attack, one can easily interpret that the sole cause of the heart attack was the growth of the fatty blockage in majority of the cases. If the growth of the blockages is not allowed, the covering membrane would never burst. What should ideally be done by any doctor, is an advice to modify the risk factors of heart disease, namely the low fat food, regular exercise, stress management, Yoga, weight reduction, control of high blood pressure and diabetes. 

Unfortunately, this is not coming from the cardiologists and big Heart Institutes. Most of these doctors have accepted the fact that one day or the other the heart attack has to come. So rather than prescribing the proper lifestyle they prefer prescribing only symptomatic medication. More often they have accepted this eventuality. I don't know whether this helps them in their practice or not, but it will never help the patients who have to suffer. 

Surprisingly, the patients also have accepted the fact that even after taking all these medicines and surgery they may still have a heart attack. There is a general tendency amongst the heart patients to ask their cardiologists for residence numbers or mobile phone numbers so that in case of heart attacks they can reach the doctors without delay. They do not know that they may not have a heart attack if they completely change their lifestyle.
