Research indicates that a significant majority of individuals who suffer fatal heart attacks do not have notable arterial blockages. Studies show that only 18% to 78% of deceased individuals present with any blockage in the arterial area associated with the heart attack, with a more concrete study revealing that only 41% of those who die due to heart attacks have significant blockage. Furthermore, half of the identified blockages occur post-heart attack, highlighting that 80% of heart attack victims may not have any substantial plaque buildup, suggesting that the presence of arterial plaque does not directly correlate with the cause of heart attacks.
