Myocardial infarction is an irreversible death of heart muscles. It is pathologically referred to as myocardial cell death due to a prolonged lack of oxygen supply (ischemia). The condition is accompanied by chest pain that may appear as a sensation of tightness or pressure initially attributable to diminished cellular glycogen and relaxed myofibrils and sarcolemmal disruption that are a few of the first ultrastructural changes observed as early as 10–15 minutes after the onset of ischemia. It can also lead to sweating, nausea or vomiting, and fainting.
Myocardial infarction can go undetected or can also lead to catastrophic events, ultimately causing hemodynamic d...
