What is myocardial infarction?
Myocardial infarction occurs when the blood flow to the myocardium is suddenly reduced or stopped due to constriction or occlusion of coronary arteries leading to myocardial damage.
What is interior infarction?
An inferior, not interior, infarction is a subclassification of a heart attack. An inferior myocardial infarction occurs when there is a blockage in the inferior wall of a coronary artery.
Why diaphoresis occurs in acute myocardial infarction?
Sympathetic nervous system response/ baroreceptor response
What is a condition that occurs when coronary arteries become blocked?
A heart attack
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.
Where would a intramural infarction would be located?
an intramural infarction occurs within the walls of the heart, affecting the innermost 1/3 to 1/2 inch of myocardial cells.
What is the scientific name for a heart attack?
Myocardial infarction (often abbreviated MI) is the medical terminology for heart attack. An MI occurs when a blood clot reaches cardiac tissue resulting in death of the affected area. Normally tests for such a condition would include blood tests (e.g. troponin T) and ECG. Occaisionally an echocardiogram might be ordered to establish an ejection fraction.Myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), is commonly known as a heart attack.Cardiac ArrestYou can call it a 'myocardial infarction' if you want. I'd stick with 'heart attack' because people don't say "huh?".It can also be known as either of the following: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI for short) Or Myocardial infarction (or MI for short).
What is a silent myocardial infection?
A silent myocardial infarction refers to a heart attack that occurs with minimal or no symptoms. It can be detected through diagnostic tests such as an electrocardiogram or blood tests, even though the individual may not have experienced typical chest pain or other common symptoms associated with a heart attack.
Is cardiac arrest result in myocardial infarction?
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating (or arrests). When a myocardial infarction (MI) occurs a portion of the heart either dies or becomes ischemic. Usually arrest wouldn't be due to an MI but if an MI was big enough it would initiate an arrhythmia called fibrillation and the heart would stop pumping blood. This is also called sudden cardiac death. SCD can occur without an MI as well.
How myocardial infarction occurs?
Myocardial infarction happens when no enough oxygen is coming to the myocytes(muscle cells of the heart) via the coronary artery(which supplies the heart itself with blood). Its caused mainly by occlusion in the artery by an atherosclerotic plaque(imagine it as an obstacle which prevents sufficient blood to reach the area which needs blood).. So when this obstacle is big enough to reduce progressivly oxygen supply to that area of the heart(because this plaque gets bigger by time and when no therapy and managment is done).. Muscle dies and infarction happens.( shortly because of the death of myocytes)
What acucurs in a myocardial infarction?
A myocardial infraction is occurs when both coronary thrombosis and coronary embolism , a blood clot occludes or plugs up some parts of the coronary artery. Blood can not pass through the occluded vessel and so cannot reach the heart muscle cells it normally supplies, it deprived of oxygen, and the cells soon become damaged.
How do you treat heart attacks?
A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is interrupted. The medical term for a heart attack is myocardial infarction. You treat heart attacks by taking medicines such as beta blockers, anticoagulants and ACE inhibitors or by having a coronary artery bypass grafting procedure.
