I21

Clinical Information

• A disorder characterized by gross necrosis of the myocardium; this is due to an interruption of blood supply to the area.

• Coagulation of blood in any of the coronary vessels. The presence of a blood clot thrombus) often leads to myocardial infarction.

• Complete blockage of blood flow through one of the coronary arteries, usually from coronary atherosclerosis.

• Each year over a million people in the United States Have a heart attack. About half of them die. Many people have permanent heart damage or die because they don’t get help immediately. It’s important to know the symptoms of a heart attack and call 9-1-1 if someone is having them. Those symptoms include

• Gross necrosis of the myocardium, as a result of interruption of the blood supply to the area, as in coronary thrombosis.

• Gross necrosis of the myocardium, as a result of interruption of the blood supply to the area.

• Necrosis of the myocardium caused by an obstruction of the blood supply to the heart coronary circulation).

• Necrosis of the myocardium, as a result of interruption of the blood supply to the area. It is characterized by a severe and rapid onset of symptoms that may include chest pain, often radiating to the left arm and left side of the neck, dyspnea, sweating, and palpitations.
