How long does it take heart muscles to function again after a heart attack?

No, dead muscle is dead muscle - however the genius of the human body is that it can adapt. If there is enough of the heart sill alive it will increase its effort to compensate for what died. Many people live long lives after heart attacks. It is best to catch an attack before the muscle dies and have surgery to rework blood paths to the starved muscle. Bypass and shunts have worked restoring blood flow to struggling hearts restoring health and longevity. But a dead muscle is a dead muscle so treatment before a major attack is critical.

∙ 13y agoHeart attack (Myocardial infarction) is mainly caused because of insufficient oxygen supply to heart which may be because of increased triglycerides or LDL levels in the blood or ischemia (reduced blood flow, occlusion due to atherosclerosis). This is to be treated as soon as possible and if left untreated for more time the heart cells will be permanently damaged and can not be regenerated and this leads to the permanent damage to the heart tissue resulting in death.
Heart can not heal itself!!! The treatment is done to reduce LDL levels in blood and to supply oxygen to the heart tissue.
In some cases, the blood flow and oxygen supply to heart may be reduced because of emotional stress or increased physical stress which may result in mild heart attack or heart attack-like sort of things, where the best treatment is to calm down the person as soon as the symptoms starts thus avoiding the risk of MI.

How is peak flow affected by a heart attack?
Peak flow is interrupted by heart attack. Peak flow is realized when all systems are go, the action of the unimpeded vessels and the blood being pumped by the heart. When the heart stops as in an attack, this flow is greatly diminished. The injured heart may never again regain the peak flow.
