When the surface of a cholesterol plaque in a coronary artery ruptures, a blood clot may form on its surface, completely blocking the flow of blood in the artery beyond the clot. The lack of oxygen immediately causes the affected heart muscle tissue to suffer (myocardial ischemia), become ir...

If the plaque ruptures, a smallblood clotcan form within the blood vessel, acting like a dam and acutely blocking the blood flow beyond the clot. When that part of the heart loses its blood supply completely, the muscle dies. This is called a heart attack, or an MI - a myocardial inf...

ECG is a painless test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. It can reveal several different heart problems, including ischemia, heart attacks, rhythm disorders, long-standing strain on the heart from high blood pressure, and certain valve problems. It gives clues as to the underly...
Although an ECG can be normal in patients with heart disease, ST-segment elevation or depression is indicative of myocardial ischemia. Diffuse ST-segment elevation is consistent with pericarditis, while Q waves can indicate an old or recent MI. Cardiac markers such as creatine phosphokinase (CPK)...

This study explored whether EP improves electrocardiographic (ECG) signs of myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury and the occurrence of malignant arrhythmia after ...
This rhythm is often associated with a heart attack in which the heart muscle doesn't get enough blood supply (myocardial ischemia), becomes irritated, and causes secondary irritation of the electrical system. Aside from myocardial ischemia, other causes of ventricular fibrillation may include severe...
