Keeping you informed… Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)
... Heart attacks are a leading cause of death in America. They result from blood vessel disease in the heart. Infarction occurs as the blood supply to an area becomes totally blocked, usually as a result of coronary artery disease. An area of partial blockage may clot (thrombose) or may rupture, causin ...
