  2. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

    Terminology. Myocardial infarction (MI) refers to tissue death ( infarction) of the heart muscle ( myocardium) caused by ischemia, the lack of oxygen delivery to myocardial tissue. It is a type of acute coronary syndrome, which describes a sudden or short-term change in symptoms related to blood flow to the heart. [22]

  3. Cardiac arrest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrest

    Cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest, also known as sudden cardiac arrest, is when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. [11] [1] As a result, blood cannot properly circulate around the body and there is diminished blood flow to the brain and other organs. When the brain does not receive enough blood, this can cause a person to lose ...

  4. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

    Coronary thrombosis is most commonly caused as a downstream effect of atherosclerosis, a buildup of cholesterol and fats in the artery walls. The smaller vessel diameter allows less blood to flow and facilitates progression to a myocardial infarction. Leading risk factors for coronary thrombosis are high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ...

  5. Coronary artery disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_artery_disease

    Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), [13] myocardial ischemia, [14] or simply heart disease, involves the reduction of blood flow to the cardiac muscle due to build-up of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries of the heart. [5] [6] [15] It is the most common of the cardiovascular ...

    New research finds that a bout of anger impairs blood vessel function which can raise the risk of atherosclerosis, which in turn raises heart disease risk. New research shows how a surge of anger ...

  8. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

    Coronary ischemia, myocardial ischemia, [1] or cardiac ischemia, [2] is a medical term for abnormally reduced blood flow in the coronary circulation through the coronary arteries. [3] Coronary ischemia is linked to heart disease, and heart attacks. [4] Coronary arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. [5]

  9. Cardiogenic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiogenic_shock

    Cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is a medical emergency resulting from inadequate blood flow to the body's organs due to the dysfunction of the heart. Signs of inadequate blood flow include low urine production (<30 mL/hour), cool arms and legs, and decreased level of consciousness. People may also have a severely low blood pressure and ...
