In 2019, the Wang team showed that iron accumulated in the heart cells of mice following I/R injury. This iron overload triggered ferroptosis and tissue damage. Critically, when they treated the mice with drugs that ...
Tissue plasminogen activator (TPA or TNK) can be used intravenously. After TPA infusion, the patient may still be transferred for heart catheterization and further care. If the EKG is normal but the history is suggestive of a heart attack or angina, the evaluation will continue with the blood...
“Myo” means muscle, “cardial” refers to the heart, and “infarction” means the death of tissue because of a lack of blood supply. This tissue death can cause lasting damage to your heart muscle. Heart Attack Symptoms Symptoms of a heart attack include: Discomfort, pressure, heaviness, ...
Heart attacks are also called myocardial infarctions (MIs). “Myo” means muscle, “cardial” refers to the heart, and “infarction” means the death of tissue because of a lack of blood supply. This tissue death can cause lasting damage to your heart muscle. ...
Therefore, additional beneficial tissue effects on blood vessels and heart muscle is thought to occur. They are immensely useful in people with diabetes and those with weakened heart muscles. Statins: Statin drugs work by reducing the amounts of lipids (cholesterol and other fats) in your blood....
leading to tissue damage or death if not promptly treated. Symptoms may include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath,nausea, and lightheadedness.

over the last two decades. However, some people experience sudden death and never make it to the hospital. For most people that do reach the hospital soon after the onset of symptoms, the prognosis is very good. Many people leave the hospital feeling well with limited heart damage. ...
The prognosis for patients who survive a heart attack depends largely on the degree of injury to the heart and the associated decline in heart function. Reduced heart function following an attack is caused by the formation ofscartissue that interferes with the normal electrical activity of the hea...
heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is significantly reduced or blocked for a prolonged period. This interruption in blood supply deprives the heart muscle of oxygen and nutrients, leading to damage or death of the affected heart tissue....
