2. Myocardial stunning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_stunning

   Myocardial stunning or transient post-ischemic myocardial dysfunction is a state of mechanical cardiac dysfunction that can occur in a portion of myocardium without necrosis after a brief interruption in perfusion, despite the timely restoration of normal coronary blood flow.

3. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

   A heart attack can cause arrhythmias, as well as permanent damage to the heart muscle. [25] Coronary ischemia resulting from coronary artery disease also increases the risk of developing heart failure. [10] Most cases of heart failure result from underlying coronary artery disease. [10]

4. Myocardial infarction complications - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction...

   3D still showing normal heart vs heart failure. A myocardial infarction may compromise the function of the heart as a pump for the circulation, a state called heart failure. There are different types of heart failure; left- or right-sided (or bilateral) heart failure may occur depending on the affected part of the heart, and it is a low-output ...

5. Ischemic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_cardiomyopathy

   Ischemic cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. [4] Typically, patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy have a history of acute myocardial infarction, [5] however, it may occur in patients with coronary artery disease, but without a past history of acute myocardial infarction.

6. Post-cardiac arrest syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Cardiac_Arrest_Syndrome

   After the brain, the heart is the second most sensitive organ to ischemia. [4] If the cause of the cardiac arrest was fundamentally a coronary pathology, then the consequences to the heart may include myocardial infarction complications. However, if the fundamental cause was non-coronary, then the heart becomes ischemic as a consequence, not a ...

7. ST depression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_depression

   A mnemonic can be used for some causes of ST depression, namely DEPRESSED ST: [citation needed]. D - Drooping valve (mitral valve prolapse) E - Enlargement of the left ventricle P - Potassium loss R - Reciprocal ST depression (e.g. inferior wall MI) E - Encephalon hemorrhage S - Subendocardial infarct S - Subendocardial ischemia E - Embolism (pulmonary) D - Dilated cardiomyopathy S - Shock T ...

8. Angina - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angina

   Also known as 'effort angina', this refers to the classic type of angina related to myocardial ischemia.A typical presentation of stable angina is that of chest discomfort and associated symptoms precipitated by some activity (running, walking, etc.) with minimal or non-existent symptoms at rest or after administration of sublingual nitroglycerin. [11]

9. Ischemic cascade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_cascade

   The ischemic (ischaemic) cascade is a series of biochemical reactions that are initiated in the brain and other aerobic tissues after seconds to minutes of ischemia (inadequate blood supply). [1] This is typically secondary to stroke , injury, or cardiac arrest due to heart attack .
