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.
What is An area of dead myocardial tissue is called?
An area of dead myocardial tissue is called a myocardial infarction or myocardial necrosis. This condition typically occurs due to a lack of blood flow, often resulting from a blockage in the coronary arteries. When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen for an extended period, the affected tissue can become irreversibly damaged and die. This can lead to serious complications, including heart failure or arrhythmias.
What is myocardial infraction?
Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. This leads to damage or death of heart muscle cells due to lack of oxygen. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and nausea, and prompt medical attention is crucial to minimize damage to the heart.
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)
