Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)

📋Overview

A Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) is a clinical condition characterized by the sudden obstruction of blood supply to the cardiac muscle. This interruption typically results from a blockage within the coronary arteries, often associated with the processes of atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

When the flow of oxygen-rich blood is restricted, the affected heart tissue may experience injury or cellular death. This condition represents a critical disruption in cardiac function due to the lack of necessary oxygen and nutrients.
