What are the two types of tissue repair?
The two types of tissue repair are regeneration, where damaged tissue is replaced with new functional tissue, and fibrosis, where damaged tissue is replaced with scar tissue made of collagen fibers. Regeneration is ideal as it restores normal tissue function, while fibrosis can lead to loss of function depending on the extent of scarring.
Will atenolol increase the myocardial oxygen demand?
No, atenolol is a beta blocker that works by decreasing the heart rate and blood pressure, thereby reducing the myocardial oxygen demand.
A positive inotropic agent is something that?
increases the contractility of myocardial fibers
Which structure is responsible for keeping the myocardial cells together during contraction?
desmosomes
How is the amount of antimyocardial antibodies measured?
serum is diluted, or titered, and the test is done again. The serum is then further diluted and the test repeated until the serum is so dilute that fluorescence is no longer seen. The last dilution that showed fluorescence is the titer reported.
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.
Are tissues damaged by myocardial infarction replaced by connective tissue?
Myocardial infarction is more commonly known as a heart attack. Yes, tissues damaged by myocardial infarction are replaced by connective tissue.
How can you use Myocardial in a sentence?
This means relating to the muscle tissue of the heart. Here are some sentences.He suffered a myocardial infarction, or heart attack.The disease caused myocardial damage.He has a myocardial infection.
Does dead mycardial tissue get replaced?
Dead myocardial tissue does not regenerate or get replaced by new healthy tissue. Instead, the body forms scar tissue in place of the dead tissue. This can lead to decreased cardiac function and potential complications.
How do you describe myocardial ischemia?
Myocardial ischemia is a coronary artery disease during which the heart tissue is slowly or suddenly starved of oxygen and other nutrients. Eventually, the affected heart tissue will die.
What is myocardial biopsy?
Myocardial biopsy is a procedure wherein a small portion of tissue is removed from the heart muscle for testing. This test is also known as endomyocardial biopsy.
What is paroxysmal chest pain that results from ischemic myocardial tissue called?
Angina is a paroxysmal chest pain or pressure sensation associated with transient myocardial infarction.
Disease of the myocardial tissue?
Cardiomyopathy Cardio = heart Myo = muscle Pathy = disease
What is the area of dead tissue within heart muscle?
Anterior myocardial infarction
A patient has an 80 percent blockage of his left anterior descending coronary artery Describe what occurs in terms of myocardial oxygen supply and demand if his sympathetic nervous system is stimulate?
Increased myocardial contractility increases the oxygen demand for the myocardial cells. If the demand of oxygen exceeds the supply, death of myocardial tissue can occur.
What is the medical term meaning death of heart muscle tissue?
It is can be called necrocardiomyopathy, cardiac myonecrosis , myocardial infarction, or simply a heart attack.
Decreased blood flow to cardiac muscle that only injures the tissue creates a condition known as what?
Myocardial infarction is the decreased blood flow to cardiac muscle that only injures the tissue.
