What happens during the disease - acute transmural myocardial infarction of other sites

Acute transmural myocardial infarction of other sites is a condition in which a portion of the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen due to a blocked artery or other blood vessel. this can be caused by a buildup of plaque inside the artery wall, an embolism, or a thrombus. when the artery is blocked, the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, leading to tissue death and the release of enzymes into the bloodstream. this can cause pain in the chest, shortness of breath, and other symptoms.
