Myocardial Infarction occurs with the stoppage of blood supply to the heart muscles and leads to death
The most common cause of a heart attack, or myocardial infarction (MIA), all involves some type of blockage of at least one of the main coronary arteries. In general, if the coronary arteries are blocked, the heart is unable to receive enough oxygenated blood to work properly. If the blocked arteries are located in the left ventricle or left side of the chest, they are called right-sided myocardial infarction (RVMI) and vice versa. RVMI is caused when the right sided coronary artery becomes completely blocked, usually by a buildup of fatty deposits (fat streaks) that form over the muscles that surround the blocked artery. As RVMI is a slow heart rate increase that does not have a detectable onset, it is quite rare for people to have this condition during their entire lifetime. Studies show that women tend to suffer from myocardial infarction at a younger age, while men usually have the condition after the age of sixty-five. For instance, in September 2021, according to a surve...
