Heart attack. Conceptual computer artwork of shock waves surrounding a heart,representing a heart attack (myocardial infarction). The heart (red) is a hollow sac of muscular tissue that pumps blood around the body. It is itself supplied by coronary blood vessels (not seen) that run over the surface of the heart. A blockage (thrombosis) of these will deprive the heart tissue of oxygen,leading to the intense pain of a heart attack,damage or loss of heart function and often death. Restricted blood supply is commonly caused by vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis,the deposition of fat deposits that narrow blood vessels | |
