Premium Myocardial infarction Cardiology
Classification There are two basic types of acute myocardial infarction based on pathology: Transmural: associated with atherosclerosis involving a major coronary artery. It can be subclassified into anterior‚ posterior‚ inferior‚ lateral or septal. Transmural infarcts extend through the whole thickness of the heart muscle and are usually a result of complete occlusion of the area’s blood supply.[13] In addition‚ on ECG‚ ST elevation and Q waves are seen. Subendocardial: involving a small area

The SA (sinoatrial node) is a pacemaker that is in the right atrium of the heart. SA node control the heart rate using the electrical impulses that sends to the heart muscles and this is how the heart pumping blood out to the entire body and how the heart contract. The stages of the pathway of action potential: 1) The Action Potential is in the Sinoatrial node (SA). Action potential then travels from the SA node to the AV (atrioventricular node) by crossing to the wall of the atrium. 2) Then the

Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac
