The condition caused by the death of heart muscle cells is known as myocardial infarction, commonly referred to as a heart attack. This occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot, leading to the death of cardiac tissue due to a lack of oxygen. Symptoms can include chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, and immediate medical attention is critical to minimize damage to the heart muscle. Long-term consequences may include heart failure or arrhythmias.
Death
It breaks down the muscle cells, which leads to muscle weakness. Causing defects in the muscle proteins and the death of muscle cells and tissue.
Rigor mortis is the condition in which muscles become rigid after death. It occurs due to a chemical reaction in the muscle cells that causes the muscles to stiffen. Rigor mortis typically sets in within a few hours after death and peaks around 12-24 hours postmortem.
Yes, although this would be rare. Rigor mortis is caused by muscle contraction that cannot be relaxed due to lack of ATP within the muscle cells. If the muscles were not able to contract after death - such as with hypocalcemia - there would be a lack of rigor mortis.
He had an infarction in his leg that led to muscle death.
InfarctionAn infarction is an area of tissue death caused by ischemia.it is called an infarct.
Gideon Sundback's death was actually caused by a condition.
Myocardial infarction is the medical term for heart attack. There is death of part of heart muscle in that condition.

Muscular conditions refer to any medical condition affecting the muscles, such as muscle weakness, atrophy, or pain. These conditions can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, disease, or genetic predisposition. Treatment typically involves physical therapy, medication, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause.
on the bench during a game in Russia, death caused by a blood condition and possibly blood doping.
Rigor mortis, commonly referred to as "rigor," is caused by biochemical changes in muscle tissue after death. Following the cessation of blood circulation, ATP production halts, leading to a buildup of calcium ions in muscle cells. This causes muscles to stiffen as the actin and myosin filaments in the muscle fibers bind together without the energy needed to relax. Rigor mortis typically begins a few hours after death and can last for several days before the body starts to decompose.
