Subsequent myocardial infarction - what does this mean

Subsequent myocardial infarction is a heart attack that occurs after a previous heart attack. it is caused by a blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply the heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood. this blockage can be caused by the buildup of plaque in the arteries, or by a blood clot that forms after a previous heart attack.

What happens during the disease - subsequent myocardial infarction

Subsequent myocardial infarction is caused by a second heart attack in a patient who has already had a heart attack. this is usually caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries which can lead to a blockage of the arteries, restricting the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. this lack of oxygen-rich blood can cause the heart muscle to become damaged, leading to a second heart attack.
