OF HEART ATTACK OR INFARCTION
Also known as
infarct
of myocardium or
coronary
trombosis is an upheaval that causes the death of
a
zone of the
muscle
cardiac
or myocardium.
Most of the infarcts they are caused by
a
blockade of some of the
coronary
arteries, that are the blood vessels that surround to the heart and they supply of oxygen and other nutrimentos to it.
Frequently, an
attack
to the heart is the first manifest symptom of
a
cardiopathy,
but
generally, it is the culmination of
a
long process in which the life style that
has
taken
has
much to do.
The accumulation of fat plates, in their majority of
cholesterol
, is obstructing the arteries and reducing the sanguineous flow that arrives at the heart. In 95% of the cases, the obstruction is produced by the loosening of
a
arteriosclerosis
plate that is perhaps the leading one of the
infarct
, that when injuring the layer that
has
the arteries, activates to plaquetas, that they still more group and they
obstruct
the injured glass.
If
a
glass is closed completely, died the zone of the
muscle
cardiac
that nourished, which causes that the sanguineous flow is reduced and the formation of clots is stimulated, which is known better like
coronary
trombosis,
problem
that can cause the blockade definitive.
Although this
problem
is much more frequent in men and with greater incidence between the 55 and 65 years, in the present life many cases between young adults and women have appeared.
