localized necrosis resulting from obstruction of the blood supply
Tissue death due to lack of oxygen-rich blood
necrosis of tissue due to ischemia
necrosis of the tissue due to an inadequate supply of oxygenated blood
Lack of blood suppply (and thus oxygen) to an organ or tissue resulting in tissue death
an area of ischemic (decreased blood flow) necrosis caused by occlusion of either the arterial supply or the venous drainage in a particular tissue
The process leading to the formation or development of an infarct
The act of stuffing or filling; an overloading and obstruction of any organ or vessel of the body; constipation
The death of tissue due to a lack of blood flow A myocardial infarction is death of part of the heart muscle caused by an obstruction of a coronary artery Press the "back" button to return to where you came from
{i} (Medicine) obstruction, blockage; infarct, area of dying or dead tissue
Necrotic changes resulting from obstruction of an end artery
a sudden loss of blood supply to tissue, causing the formation of an infarct
is tissue death caused by oxygen deprivation When it occurs in the heart, it is called a myocardial infarction The common term is heart attack Invasive means "penetrating " Invasive tests or procedures are those which puncture the skin or penetrate the body
infarct
an area of dead tissue caused by a loss of blood supply; a localized necrosis
myocardial infarction
Necrosis of heart muscle caused by an interruption to the supply of blood to the heart, often as a result of coronary thrombosis
ınfarction
{n} the act of stuffing, fulness
infarct
An obstruction or embolus
infarct
localized necrosis resulting from obstruction of the blood supply
infarct
{i} area of dying or dead tissue whose blood supply has been obstructed (Medical)
infarct
The morbid condition of a limited area resulting from such obstruction; as, a hemorrhagic infarct
myocardial infarction
When the heart does not get enough blood flow, the heart muscle dies This is called a myocardial infarction or, in more common language, a heart attack
myocardial infarction
Death of heart muscle due to lack of oxygenated blood; also known as a "heart attack"
myocardial infarction
a heart attack that occurs when an artery feeding the heart becomes blocked (occluded) by a blood clot (thrombus) or atherosclerotic plaque such that blood flow is restricted to the heart muscle depriving it of oxygen (ischemia) resulting in death of myocardial tissue, a potentially life-threatening condition
myocardial infarction
Permanent damage to the heart muscle caused by a lack of blood supply to the heart for an extended time period
myocardial infarction
Commonly called a "heart attack" Involves irreversible damage to heart tissue/muscle Insufficient oxygen reaching the heart muscle via the coronary arteries may cause angina, heart attack (myocardial infarction), or even death to the affected area of the heart
myocardial infarction
An area of dead heart tissue (myocardium) resulting from a heart attack
myocardial infarction
a technical description for a heart attack The myocardium is the heart muscle and an infarct (or infarction) means that some of the tissue has died
myocardial infarction
Sudden, severe chest pain that occurs when a portion of the heart no longer receives oxygen-rich blood, usually due to total or near-total blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot formed in an area already narrowed by plaque The surrounding heart muscle dies and the heart stops working effectively Also known as a heart attack A myocardial infarction is part of the acute coronary syndrome
myocardial infarction
loss of the blood supply to an area of heart muscle resulting in death of that area, a heart attack
myocardial infarction
damage to or death of heart muscle tissue due to insufficient blood supply
myocardial infarction
occurs when one of more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged decrease in oxygen supply caused by a blocked blood flow to the heart muscle
myocardial infarction
Death of tissue in the heart muscle; a "heart attack "
myocardial infarction
also known as a heart attack The death of cells in an area of the heart due to blockage of coronary arteries
myocardial infarction
Also called a heart attack; results from permanent damage to an area of the heart muscle This happens when the blood supply to the area is interrupted because of narrowed or blocked blood vessels
myocardial infarction
Posh name for a heart attack
myocardial infarction
—The death of an area of heart muscle as a result of being deprived of its blood supply; characterized by severe pain in the chest; commonly called a heart attack
myocardial infarction
obstruction of the heart muscle
myocardial infarction
A heart attack An area of heart tissue dies because its blood supply is blocked This area becomes scar tissue
myocardial infarction
destruction of heart tissue resulting from obstruction of the blood supply to the heart muscle
myocardial infarction
Commonly known as a heart attack, it is the tissue damage to the heart muscle from a drastic decrease in the amount of blood that reaches the heart
myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction is necrosis, or tissue death, of a portion of cardiac muscle caused by obstruction in a coronary artery; a heart attack
myocardial infarction
Death of a segment of heart muscle, which follows interruption of its blood supply or a “heart attack ”
myocardial infarction
-See heart attack
myocardial infarction
death of part of the heart muscle
myocardial infarction
Heart attack
myocardial infarction
Damage or death of myocardial tissue (heart muscle) of blood flow to the area
