An acute episode of any kind of heart disease.

A general term used to describe an acute episode of heart disease; common name is myocardial infarction.

A sudden decrease in the flow of blood to the heart muscle resulting in impaired heart functioning. Can result in death.

When one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked by a blood clot and part of the heart is starved of oxygen leading to muscle death.

The medical term for heart attack is myocardial infarction. A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle itself the myocardium is severely reduced or stopped. This occurs when one of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle is blocked. The blockage is usually from the buildup of plaque (deposits of fat-like substances) due to atherosclerosis. The plaque can eventually tear or rupture, triggering a blood clot to form that blocks the artery and leads to a heart attack. Such an event is sometimes called a coronary thrombosis or coronary occlusion.

A cardiovascular event the death of heart tissue due to lack of oxygen

Occurs when part of the heart dies because it does not get enough blood and oxygen. A heart attack can affect a small or large part of the heart. It is also called a myocardial infarction (MI).

Heart attacks occur when an artery leading to the heart is blocked, and blood flow is slowed or stopped. The blockage stops the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the heart, allowing cells to be damaged or even die. Heart attacks most often are caused by the blockage of an artery already narrowed by atherosclerosis.

Death of the heart muscle due to the loss of blood supply, usually caused by a complete blockage of a coronary artery, one of the arteries that supplies blood to the heart muscle. Death of the heart muscle, in turn, causes chest pain and electrical instability of the heart muscle tissue. Also known as myocardial infarction (MI).

A loss of blood flow to the muscle of the heart, often caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. If it is prolonged, a heart attack may cause permanent loss of heart muscle.

(sometimes called a " coronary"): this is what happens when the supply of oxygen-rich blood flowing through one or more of the coronary arteries to the heart muscle is cut off. If the oxygen supply is severely reduced the heart can malfunction or cut out.

Also called myocardial infarction; results from permanent damage to an area of the heart muscle. This happens when the blood supply to the area of the heart is interrupted because of narrowed or blocked blood vessels. In the majority of cases this is due to coronary artery disease.

death of heart muscle due to lack of blood flow, myocardial infarction

an acute event in which the heart muscle is damaged because of a lack of blood flow from the coronary arteries, typically accompanied by chest pain and other warning signs, but sometimes occurring with no recognized symptoms (i.e., "silent heart attack").

A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is suddenly and permanently cut off, causing permanent damage to the heart muscle. Chest pain is typically severe and does not go away with rest or medicine that is effective with angina. Symptoms may indicate your heart is in danger many months or years before a heart attack occurs. Persistent symptoms, such as shortness of breath, nausea, great fatigue, angina/chest pain, fainting spells and gas-like discomfort - are red flags.

also known as a myocardial infarction (MI) generally occurs when there is a blockage of blood flow to the heart, resulting in the heart not receiving the oxygen and nutrients it needs

When arteries are clogged to the point of decreasing or stopping the flow of blood to the heart muscle, a lack of oxygen damages or kills heart muscle causing a heart attack. Recognizing symptoms and getting prompt emergency treatment can eliminate, prevent or limit the amount of heart muscle damage.

When a part of the heart muscle dies because blood flow is interrupted. Symptoms may include nausea, shortness of breath, and pain in the chest, arm, or neck. Also called "myocardial infarction."

an event that occurs when oxygen-rich blood canâ€(tm)t get to part of the heart muscle. Can cause permanent damage.

A heart attack occurs when the heart does not get enough blood flow leading to the death of the heart muscle. This event is also known as a myocardial infarction.

Another term the sudden closure of a coronary artery with damage or death to the heart muscle fed by that arterial branch.

A painful modern medical disorder, commonly accompanied by death, that is known to afflict midde-aged men who strive valiantly and hopelessly against their natures, towards goals that make them sick.

also know as an MI (myocardial infarction). Scarring or death of heart muscle due to lack of oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood is blocked by a blood clot in a coronary artery, usually due to plaque-related narrowing of the artery.

occurs when one of more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged decrease in oxygen supply caused by a blocked blood flow to the heart muscle.

A nonspecific term usually referring to complete blockage of a diseased coronary artery by a blood clot, resulting in the death of the heart muscle cells supplied by that artery. 'Myocardial infarction' is a more specific term for what is usually meant by 'heart attack.'

Death of, or damage to, part of the heart muscle due to a prolonged period of insufficient blood supply to the muscle.

Damage to the heart muscle caused by a lack of blood supply to the heart for an extended time period.

This is caused by a small clot of blood that blocks an artery which supplies blood to the heart. The symptoms are sudden severe chest pain, sweating, pallor, breathlessness, and palpitations or simply collapse. www.BBC.co.uk/health/first_aid_action/flas/es_flash_heart_popup.shtml

also called myocardial infarction; damage to the heart muscle due to insufficient blood supply.

Heart cell death due to prolonged lack of oxygen; also called Myocardial infarction or MI.

See myocardial infarction.

Interruption of the normal circulation of the heart due to the loss of blood supply. Also called myocardial infarction.

a condition occurring when a section of the heart is deprived of oxygenated blood and dies.

When one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked by a blood clot and part of the heart is starved of oxygen. A heart attack usually causes severe pain in the centre of the chest. The pain lasts for more than 15 minutes, and may last for many hours. The pain usually feels like a heaviness or tightness which may also spread to the arms, neck, jaw, face, back or stomach. In some cases the pain may be mistaken for indigestion. There may also be sweating, light-headedness, nausea or shortness of breath. A heart attack may cause the rhythm of the heart to become disturbed. Sometimes a heart attack is 'silent' and produces little discomfort. It may even remain undiscovered until a medical examination.

Heart attacks occur when a coronary artery is completely blocked and a portion of the heart muscle is left without a supply of oxygenated blood. If the portion is large enough, the heart attack may be deadly.

also called myocardial infarction (MI), this occurs when an artery that feeds the heart becomes blocked. As a result, blood does not get to some parts of the heart and some of the heart tissue dies. The symptoms may include nausea, shortness of breath and/or pain in the chest, arm or neck.

complete blockage of blood flow to a heart artery, causing the heart muscle to die.

The death of heart muscle due to the loss of blood supply. The loss of blood supply is usually caused by a complete blockage of a coronary artery, one of the arteries that supplies blood to the heart muscle. Death of the heart muscle, in turn, causes chest pain and electrical instability of the heart muscle tissue. See the entire definition of Heart attack

Death of an area of heart tissue due to a blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle (myocardium). Symptoms may include nausea, shortness of breath, and pain in the chest, arm, or neck. Also called myocardial infarction.

As blood clots block the coronary arteries, an area of the myocardium dies and scars over

Also known as myocardial infarction (MI), this occurs when a portion of the heart muscle loses its blood supply. Symptoms vary, but may include: chest pain, nausea, vomiting, sweating, shortness of breath, palpitations, and/or dizziness.

Sudden, severe chest pain that occurs when a portion of the heart no longer receives oxygen-rich blood, usually due to total or near-total blockage of a coronary artery by a blood clot formed in an area already narrowed by plaque. The surrounding heart muscle dies and the heart stops working effectively. Also called a myocardial infarction (MI). Heart attacks are part of the acute coronary syndrome.

when an area of the heart muscle does not get enough blood, chest pain or discomfort, called angina, develops.

Death of or death to part of the heart muscle (myocardium) due to an insufficient blood supply, caused by blockage of one or more of the coronary arteries (infarction).

a critical medical situation that occurs when the blood supply to the heart is blocked and there is death of heart muscle.

(myocardial infarction): death of heart muscle resulting from reduction or stoppage of blood flow

Also called a myocardial infarction. A condition related to heart disease in which the bloodflow to the heart is severely limited. In the most common scenario of a heart attack, a plaque in an artery that feeds the heart ruptures and triggers a blood clot, which deprives the heart muscle of oxygen.

Death of heart muscle tissue due to inadequate blood supply

also called myocardial infarction; death of part of the heart muscle due to insufficient blood supply.

Heart attack is a udden interruption or insufficiency of the supply of blood to the heart, typically resulting from occlusion or obstruction of a coronary artery and often characterized by severe chest pain. A heart attack is permanent damage to the heart muscle caused by loss of blood flow to the heart. A heart attack occurs when a clot or spasm blocks an already narrowed coronary artery. Left without oxygen, the portion of the heart muscle served by the blocked artery is injured (from WebMD).

A non-specific term relating to disturbance of heart function in coronary and other cardiac diseases.

a sudden loss of blood supply to an area of heart muscle usually due to a blockage in a coronary artery. This lack of blood causes that area of heart muscle to die.

also known as a Myocardial (of the heart muscle) Infarction, or M.I. This is death of a bit of heart muscle caused by blockage of the blood supply to that bit of muscle resulting in sudden severe chest pain, which may spread to the arms and throat.

Damage to the heart muscle caused when the blood vessels supplying the muscle are blocked, such as when the blood vessels are clogged with fats (a condition sometimes called hardening of the arteries).

Also known as coronary attack, a heart attack results from coronary heart disease - a blood vessel disease in the heart

The medical term for a heart attack is myocardial infarction (MI). This refers to the formation of infarcts (areas of local tissue death or decay) in the myocardium (heart muscle). Infarction occurs when the blood supply to an area of the heart is cut off, usually as result of a blood clot that blocks a narrowed coronary artery. Depending on the size and location of the areas affected, a heart attack may be described as mild or severe, but it always involves some irreparable damage to the heart.

A sudden closure or blockage of one or more blood vessels to the heart, cutting off the oxygen supply and causing damage to part of the heart. The term specifically refers to death of heart muscle cells, which is usually due to the blockage of a coronary artery.

A medical emergency that occurs when a blood clot forms suddenly in a heart artery and causes a blockage, usually after the surface of cholesterol plaque in the artery breaks. A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, usually produces chest pain and shortness of breath. It may also cause sudden death. If nothing is done to reopen the blocked artery, the heart muscle will die and be replaced by scar tissue. More than one million heart attacks occur every year in the United States; it is the leading cause of death from heart disease. Most of these deaths occur outside the hospital.

Also called a myocardial infarction. This occurs when the heart muscle is damaged by not receiving enough blood.

is another term for myocardial infarction, which is a sudden obstruction of blood flow through a coronary artery that results in the death of heart tissue.

Narrowing or closure of an artery in the heart, depriving it of oxygen carrying blood, and resulting in damaged or destroyed tissue.

A sudden loss of oxygen to the heart that damages heart muscle. Return to previous page.

A lack of blood and oxygen causes death of a portion of the heart muscle. The damaged area can be very small or very extensive.

Sudden death of a section of the heart muscle caused by a sudden decrease in blood supply to that area.

also called a myocardial infarction; damage to the heart due to blockage of blood flow; not the same as cardiac arrest, which is usually caused by an electrical malfunction of the heartbeat.

Refers to either cardiac arrest or myocardial infarction.

Damage to the heart caused by a clot in the Coronary Arteries, requires emergency treatment in hospital

A heart attack happens when there is a blockage in one of the arteries in the heart.

A condition that results when the blood supply to the heart muscle is blocked off or interrupted, leading to damage to the heart muscle.

a sudden lack of blood to the heart muscle.
