Overview of Myocardial Infarction

in mrmed •  2 years ago 

Myocardial infarction is commonly called a heart attack. This emergency develops when the blood flow of the heart muscles is suddenly interrupted, causing tissue damage. This is usually due to blockage in the coronary arteries due to plaque formation (the substance of fat, cholesterol, and cellular waste) or an instant blood clot. A heart attack can result in death or lifelong heart damage.
