Fibrosis occurs, so fibres replace the cells

scar tissue.
Stem cells can repair a damaged heart by turning into new cardiac cells to replace the damaged tissue.
Cardiac myocytes (heart muscle cells) do not regenerate. They can get bigger (hypertrophy), but new cells are not made under normal circumstances. This means that when you have a heart attack or another injury to the heart and cardiac cells die, they are replaced by fibrous scar tissue which does not contract like normal heart tissue does.
In cardiac disorders, myoglobin levels in the blood may increase due to damage to heart muscle cells. Elevated myoglobin levels can indicate myocardial infarction (heart attack) or other types of cardiac injury. Myoglobin is released into the blood when heart muscle cells are damaged, making it a useful biomarker for detecting and monitoring cardiac disorders.
Damaged cells of an organism are usually repaired through the process of mitosis, where the damaged cell divides and produces two identical daughter cells. This allows for the organism to replace the damaged cells with healthy cells, maintaining proper functioning of tissues and organs.
Cardiac muscle cells cannot regenerate, meaning that they have limited ability to repair and replace damaged muscle tissue. This is because most cardiac muscle cells are terminally differentiated and do not undergo cell division.
heart attack is the dead of cardiac tissues due to insufficent supply of blood.
Dead or damaged cells are replaced by nearby healthy cells that divide and multiply to fill in the empty space. In some cases, stem cells can also differentiate into the specific cell type needed to replace the damaged cells.
because things are weaker when they are dead.
Cardiac muscle is made of cardiac muscle cells. Cardiac muscle is under the control of the autonomous nervous system and is not susceptible to fatigue
The blood test performed to determine cardiac damage in an acute myocardial infarction is called a cardiac enzyme test. This test measures levels of specific enzymes released into the bloodstream when heart muscle cells are damaged during a heart attack. The most commonly measured enzymes are troponin and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB).
