Detailed explanation-1: -Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) A heart attack (medically known as a myocardial infarction) is a deadly medical emergency where your heart muscle begins to die because it isn’t getting enough blood flow. A blockage in the arteries that supply blood to your heart usually causes this.

Detailed explanation-2: -Myocardial infarction (MI): It occurs when an area of the heart muscle (myocardium) is damaged or dies after blood supply is blocked. It’s the classic medical term for a heart attack. Coronary thrombosis: It occurs when a clot is formed in one of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homeostatic Imbalances of the Heart When the heart becomes damaged, such as after a heart attack, it may not be able to maintain adequate flow. This causes blood pressure to fall, initiating homeostatic feedback loops to try to bring blood pressure (and cardiac output) back to normal.

Detailed explanation-4: -A heart attack (myocardial infarction) happens when one or more areas of the heart muscle don’t get enough oxygen. This happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked.

Detailed explanation-5: -A lack of blood flow can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle. A heart attack is also called a myocardial infarction. Prompt treatment is needed for a heart attack to prevent death. Call 911 or emergency medical help if you think you might be having a heart attack.
