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

Acute transmural myocardial infarction of inferior wall occurs when a blockage in the coronary artery causes a lack of oxygen to the heart muscle, resulting in death of the tissue in the inferior wall of the heart. this can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, arrhythmias, and even death.

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

Acute transmural myocardial infarction of the inferior wall is caused by the occlusion of one or more of the coronary arteries. this occlusion results in a lack of oxygen and nutrient supply to the myocardium, leading to cell death and ischemia. this death of heart muscle cells causes a transmural myocardial infarction, which is an area of necrosis that extends through the wall of the heart.
