Acute transmural myocardial infarction of anterior wall - what does this mean

Acute transmural myocardial infarction of the anterior wall is a type of heart attack in which a large area of the heart muscle is damaged due to a sudden blockage of a coronary artery. this blockage results in a lack of oxygen to the heart muscle, leading to cell death and scarring.

What happens during the disease - acute transmural myocardial infarction of anterior wall

Acute transmural myocardial infarction of anterior wall is caused by a sudden reduction of blood flow to the heart, typically due to a blockage in a coronary artery. the blockage prevents oxygen-rich blood from reaching the cardiac muscle, leading to cell death and tissue damage in the affected area. this can lead to an irregular heartbeat, chest pain, and, in extreme cases, cardiac arrest.
