[Gembakrofe]

A myocardial infarct, also known as a heart attack, is a medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. This interruption of blood flow can damage or destroy a part of the heart muscle, leading to serious health complications or death. The extent of the damage depends largely on the size of the area supplied by the blocked artery and the time between injury and treatment.
