Acute transmural myocardial infarction of unspecified site - what does this mean
Acute transmural myocardial infarction of unspecified site is a condition where there is an interruption of blood flow to a part of the heart muscle, resulting in death of the affected tissue. this can be caused by a blockage of a coronary artery due to a clot or narrowing of the artery, or by a sudden decrease in blood flow due to spasm.
What happens during the disease - acute transmural myocardial infarction of unspecified site
Acute transmural myocardial infarction of unspecified site is a type of heart attack that occurs when a blockage in a coronary artery causes a sudden and severe decrease in blood flow to a part of the heart muscle. this blockage is usually caused by a buildup of plaque or a blood clot, which can damage or completely block the artery. this lack of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle leads to tissue death, resulting in an acute transmural myocardial infarction.
