Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, is a serious medical condition that occurs when the blood flow to the heart is blocked, often due to a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries. This lack of blood flow can lead to damage or death of the heart muscle tissue. Research in this area focuses on understanding the mechanisms of myocardial infarction, identifying risk factors, developing treatment options, and improving patient outcomes. This research is crucial for advancing our understanding of heart health and improving strategies for prevention and treatment of heart attacks.
