Is transmural ischemia due to acute myocardial infarction?
Myocardial ischemia is owing to poor blood supply and infarction is due to no blood supply. The severity of both differs and ischemia can progress to infarction.
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.
When a myocardial infarction occurs what substance is released into the blood stream?
myocardial band enzymes
How would myocardial infarction affect cardiac output?
A myocardial infarction is a heart attack; during this, the heart's beat effectively stops and the heart is no longer pumping blood in any useable amount. Therefore, a myocardial infarction causes cardiac output to drop significantly and possibly drop to zero depending on the severity.
What is medical term for dead myocardial tissue resulting from interrupted blood flow?
In infarct is an area of dead tissue due to lack of blood flow. Such dead tissue is a myocardial infarct or myocardial infarction when found in the myocardial tissues.
What is cardiac infarction?
Cardiac infarction, usually called myocardial infarction, is the medical term meaning heart attack. It is heart damage caused by lack of blood flow to the heart muscle.
What is a Myocardial Inracture?

Can a clot in the coronary artery cause a myocardial infarction?

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 happens inside the body of a person when its infected of myocardial infarction?
Myocardial infarction isn't an infection, but another name for a heart attack. The blood supply is interrupted, commonly through a rupture, and some tissue dies because of oxygen starvation.
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 did the name myocardial infarction come from?
The myocardium refers to the main muscle layer of the heart. The word, infarction, refers to having suffered muscle damage due to lack of blood flow carrying needed oxygen to the cardiac muscle (myocardium). The common everyday term for myocardial infarction is "heart attack".
