    A heart attack happens if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked and the heart can't get oxygen. Most heart attacks occur as a result of coronary heart disease (CHD).

    Thank you very much to this answer.
    What about if our arteries and blood vessel are all smooth and not block whether it means that we will not suffer heart attack?

    That's what it means.

    When there has been a loss of blood supply in the heart muscle and blood get clot in coronary arteries then the patient experiences a heart attack. There are many causes of heart attack, one of them is blocked coronary arteries and other is a spasm of a coronary artery that shuts down blood flow to part of the heart muscle. If you want to learn more about the symptoms and causes of heart attack you can read an article at Justsavelives.com that might guide you in the right direction.
