What commonly causes heart attacks?
Blockage in a vein or artery that stops the blood flow to and from the heart.
Why use heparin with an MI?
Heparin is a blood thinner, and an MI is a blockage in one of the small blood vessels around the heart. By thinning the blood this blockage can often be overcome, allowing normal blood flow to the heart muscle.
What makes the heart not work?
There are a number of different illnesses which can affect the heart. The most usual problem is decreased blood flow to the heart, caused by blockage of blood vessels by fatty deposits.
What type of heart failure is caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart muscles?
That would probably be coronary heart disease. Seeing as though the arteries that feed the heart muscle/the myocardium, with blood are called the coronary arteries.
What does Coronary occlusion mean?
Coronary occlusion refers to the blockage of one or more coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. This blockage can be caused by a buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis), blood clots, or spasms in the arteries. Coronary occlusion can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart, resulting in chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction) if not treated promptly. Timely medical intervention is crucial to restore blood flow and minimize damage to the heart.
If a blockage occurs in one of the blood vessels of the heart What is likely to be the effect of this blockage?
A heart attack or myocardial infarction.
What is the Direct cause of heart attack?
A heart attack, called a myocardial infarction in medical terms, is the death of the heart's muscle tissue due to lack of blood flow. The direct cause is a blockage in one of the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle.
What is inferoapical ischemia?
Inferoapical ischemia is lack of blood flow below the apex.
What is it meant when people say somebody has had a coronary?
They used to mean a coronary thrombosis - a blockage in the blood flow to the heart. This was/is also known as a heart attack.But, with advances in medical science they may be referring to a coronary bypass.... surgery to alter the flow of blood so as to avoid damaged blood vessels.
What is the purpose of the coronary artery and what happens if there is a blockage?
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (also called coronary artery bypass surgery [CABG] and bypass operation) is performed to restore blood flow to the heart. This relieves chest pain and ischemia, improves the patient's quality of life.
What cause heart attrack?
A blockage in one of the main blood vessels of the heart.
What is pulmonary atresia?
Pulmonary atresia is a congenital heart defect where the pulmonary valve does not form properly, leading to a blockage of blood flow from the heart to the lungs. This condition can result in low oxygen levels in the blood and may require surgical intervention to improve blood flow to the lungs.
