Old myocardial infarction - what does this mean
Old myocardial infarction occurs when an area of the heart muscle has been damaged due to a lack of oxygen supply caused by a blockage in a coronary artery. this blockage is usually due to a buildup of plaque in the artery, leading to a decrease in the amount of oxygen-rich blood that can reach the heart muscle, resulting in cell death and permanent damage.
What happens during the disease - old myocardial infarction
Old myocardial infarction is a condition in which the heart muscle has been damaged due to a lack of blood supply caused by a blocked artery. the blocked artery causes an interruption of the oxygen supply to the heart muscle, leading to cell death in the affected area. this can cause scarring of the heart muscle, which can lead to a decrease in the heart's pumping ability and an increased risk of future heart attack or stroke.
