Heart attacks or Myocardial infarctions occur when blood supply to the heart is interrupted by factors such as thrombosis, embolism...the blood carries the oxygen needed by the myocardial (innermost layer of heart muscle) cells to perform the functions of the heart. The lack o oxygen leads to cell death or necrosis. and since nerve and muscle cells don't have the ability to renew, they just die. Not like when you get wounded and your skin repairs them....

heart muscles damaged and no regenration....so function of that particular part not completed....for eg take the atrial muscle...if they are damaged then they cannot pump blood in vetricles.
