What is the medical term meaning damage to the heart muscle caused by a thrombus blocking a coronary artery?
Coronary thrombosis can lead to myocardial infarction, or damage to the heart muscle.Myocardial infarct....Myo- means muscle.Cardial refers to the heart.Infarction is the death of tissue due to the lack of blood supply.HL
Is infarct the fatty deposit of an artery?
No it's called plaque.
Can heat cause a high heart rate?
Heat related to the human body causes vein and artery dilation (expansion) and decreases pressure or blood flow (blood pressure). If a person has plaque severe enough that the body requires a certain pressure to push blood through it and you take that pressure away, the artery can spasm and close or be deprived of needed blood flow causing ischemia (lack of oxygen) or infarct (myocardial infarct or heart attack).
What happens when the heart relaxes?
It is in its diastolic phase.
What happens when the heart rate increases during a hot bath?
you might have a heart palpatation
What is lateral infarct?
wedge shape part across the heart
What is meant by infarct?
that is when a pat dies, the term is most frequently used to describe an area of the heart or brain. An infarct is caused by lack of blood flow (perfusion) or trauma.
What is the area of dead tissue within heart muscle?
Anterior myocardial infarction
What is septal infarct?
It's when the wall between the left and right ventricles of the heart has an infarction.
What is Anteroapical Wall Myocardial?
If your asking about an anteroapical wall myocardial infarct, this refers to a lack of oxygen reaching heart muscle on the front top end of the heart, causing some of it to die. A myocardial infarct is also known as a heart attack, the name just refers to the position of damage.
What does possible anterior infarct on an EKG mean?
They suffered a heart attack and the outcome is death to a portion of the heart tissue from lack of oxygen.
What is septal wall infarct?
It's when the wall between the left and right ventricles of the heart has an infarction.
How do fatty foods one's diet lead to coronary artery disease?
Coronary Heart Disease - is a damage to the heart caused by transporting of extra fats in to the blood vessels and the narrowing of blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle. When the heart muscle does not receive oxygen, it dies ( or becomes infarct ). When this happens, heart attack occurs.
What does a right sided posterior infarct do to someone?

What is medical term for dead myocardial tissue resulting from interrupted blood flow?

What is the medical term meaning Area of a tissue that undergoes necrosis following cessation of blood supply?
InfarctionAn infarction is an area of tissue death caused by ischemia.it is called an infarct.
What causes a possible anterior infarct?
A possible anterior infarct can be caused by a blockage in one of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the front of the heart. This blockage can lead to decreased blood flow to the heart muscle, resulting in damage or death of the tissue in that area. Risk factors for anterior infarcts include atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes.
