What can happen when the heart muscle does not get enough blood?
PUNKGRL
Myocardial ischemia results from the temporary lack of oxygen; if ischemia is prolonged, it could result in permanent damage to the heart muscle. This condition is called myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack.

What kinds of heart problems happen to the heart if it does not get enough electrolytes?
High Blood pressure.
What can happen when blood supply to the heart is blocked-?
When blood supply to the heart is blocked what happens is a myocardial infarction which can result in death.
What does myocardial ischemia mean?
The heart muscle is not getting enough blood. The blood supply is actually so important that the flow from the large aorta has an artery that goes to the muscle's surface before it goes to the rest of the body. If this can not be 'fixed' in someway, the heart muscle die from lack of enough oxygen.
What is ischemic heart tissue?
Ischemia occurs when there is not enough oxygenated blood reaching the cardiac muscle cells.
Which muscle moves blood in and out of the heart?
The heart moves the blood all over the body the heart it self is no exception. The heart is a cardiac muscle.
When the heart muscle it fills with blood and when the heart muscle the blood pumps forward.?
This is not a question please rephrase.
Where does the heart muscle receives its blood supply from?
The heart muscle is supplied by blood vessels called coronaries.
Where would be the most dangerous part in heart to have a blood clot?
The coronary arteries because they supply fresh blood to the heart's own muscle. The heart stops pumping if its muscle wall doesn't get enough blood. The coronary arteries are what supply blood to the heart itself and they are pretty small and narrow- they can't handle even a small clot.
What organs have muscle tissue?
The circulatory system = the heart + the blood vessels. The heart is a muscle, but the muscle fibers are slightly different to skeletal muscle. Arteries has a thin layer of muscle cells that surround them so that they can constrict or expand the blood vessels in order to regulate blood pressure.
Does smooth muscle move blood through the heart?
No. A form of involuntary muscle known as cardiac muscle pumps the blood through the heart.
How does lack of oxygen lead to heart attack or stroke?
The myocard (cardiac muscle), the muscle that makes your heart pump, needs oxygen to function. This oxygen is distributed through the blood that flows in the coronary arteries, which lie around the cardiac muscle. When there is not enough oxygen in your blood, the cardiac muscle does not get enough oxygen to fully function and your heart will not be able to function, over time. This starts at about 3 minutes after stopping to get oxygen.
What is the path followed by the blood when it supplies and drains the heart muscle?
The path followed by the blood when it supplies and drains the heart muscle
