Sunday, November 22, 2009 17:54 1 Comment

Myocardial Infarction (MI) is a disease of heart due to blockage of coronary arteries by blood clots (thrombi) or dislodged blood clots (emboli). The blood flow to heart muscle (myocardium) is stopped resulting in irreversible damage (infarction) to myocardium if patient does not get urgent medical treatment. The damage to myocardium can be protected with urgent treatment as it takes several hours to damage myocadium permanently.
