The death of heart tissue due to a blockage of its blood supply
Real World Example
Imagine you're driving home from work and suddenly encounter a traffic jam on a major highway, causing your car to come to a complete halt. This situation is similar to what happens during a heart attack when an artery is blocked, preventing blood from reaching a part of the heart. Just as your car requires a clear road to keep moving, heart tissue needs a steady supply of blood to function, and a blockage can lead to tissue death, akin to your car breaking down due to the traffic standstill.
