Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is a myocardial infarction life threatening?
A
Because a damaged heart cannot pump blood effectively
B
Because a minor bump or fall could lead to internal bleeding
C
Because it inhibits the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in body cells
D
Because swollen veins lose elasticity which decreases blood flow to vital organs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a common cause of mortality, and management remains challenging despite advances in therapeutic options. CS is caused by severe impairment of myocardial performance that results in diminished cardiac output, end‐organ hypoperfusion, and hypoxia.

Detailed explanation-3: -If your heart muscle becomes weak, it fails to pump blood effectively, which causes fluid to build up and pool around your lungs and other parts of your body. This is known as systolic heart failure, or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
