Myo means muscle and Cardial relates to heart. My educated guess would be that it is a damage in one of the cells in your heart muscle.

What does stretching a myocardial cell cause the cell to do?
Stretching a myocardial cell allows more Ca+2 into the cell and increases the force of contraction (the longer the muscle fiber when it begins to contract, the greater the force of contraction).
The primary function of the myocardial working cell include a automaticit b regeneration contraction and relaxation impulse propagation?
CONTRACTION
Action potentials pass from one myocardial cell to another through areas of low electrical resistance called?
gap junctions
What protects the prokaryotic cell from injury?
The cell membrane is the barrier between the cell and the outside environment.
What is cell injury and cell death?
Series of pathologic changes due to excessive stress when adaptations are not possible.

What is the thin filament of the myocardial cell?
Actin
What are the two cell populations in the body that do not undergo cell division?
Neurones in the CNS and cardiac/myocardial cells.
What ion is released within the myocardial cell with the depolarization and acts on the contractile proteins causing the cell to contract?
myosin?
What does myocardial mean?
It means "something" to do with the heart's muscle.
What has the author Ian Clark Wilson written?
Ian Clark Wilson has written: 'The role of leucocytes in neonatal myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury'
What does the abbreviations STEM and non STEM mean in connection with ST segment?
I believe you are referring to STEMI (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) and non-STEMI. These are two different forms of myocardial infarction - STEMI results in transmural (all the way through the cardiac muscle wall) injury, which results in elevation of the ST segment on EKG. Non-STEMI (NSTEMI), which used to be called a Non-Q-wave MI, is usually a subendocardial injury, which results in cardiac injury, but not as severe as STEMI. NSTEMIs do not have any elevation of the ST segment on EKG. These only have elevation of cardiac biomarkers on blood work.
What does the medical abbreviation AMI mean?
AMI means Acute Myocardial Infarction
What is a heart attack known as?
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).
The primary function of the myocardial working cell include a automaticit b regeneration contraction and relaxation impulse propagation?
CONTRACTION
What does the medical abbreviation nstemi mean?
NSTEMI: non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Action potentials pass from one myocardial cell to another through areas of low electrical resistance called?
gap junctions
