All the parts of body require blood for proper functioning, if heart stops pumping blood efficiently, the condition is termed as heart failure or coronary thrombosis: Some of the familiar symptoms are shortness of breath after slight exertion, pain in the chest, dizziness, vertigo etc.

What causes Heart Attack?

• Increased concentration of carbon dioxide concentration in blood- Excess of carbon dioxide begins reaching to the heart which hampers proper functioning of heart. In simple words the main activity area, which is ruled by Ketu, fails to function properly. So Ketu’s affliction in forth house along with Sun is responsible for worsening the situation.
• At times due to excess formation of fat in the blood, a substance known as Cholesterol starts forming thereby making the blood impure and concentrated. A large amount of pressure is applied by the heart to pump the blood and, this result in choking of arteries thereby causing heart attacks. This happens due to the affliction of Moon, Sun and Saturn.
