    A silent heart attack occurs when a blockage prevents adequate blood flow to the heart muscle, causing damage, but without any of the typical symptoms such as chest pain or discomfort. While symptoms are absent, silent heart attacks can still be life-threatening and cause long-term damage similar to a typical heart attack. Routine testing, especially for those at higher risk, can help detect this type of old damage and scar tissue quite reliably even in the absence of symptoms. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and controlling risk factors is important for prevention.
