MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Myocardial
infarction (MI), commonly
known as a heart attack, occurs
when blood flow decreases or
stops to a part of the heart,
causing damage to the heart
muscle..
Myocardial infarction,
commonly known as a heart
attack, is the irreversible
necrosis of heart muscle
secondary to prolonged
ischemia.3/19/2019 3MOHAMMAD MUZTABA

TYPES OF INFARCTS
1. According to anatomic region of left ventricle invoved:
 Anterior
 Posterior
 Lateral
 Septal
 Circumferential
 Combinations- Anterolateral, Posterolateral,Anteroseptal
2. According to degree of thickness of ventricular wall
involved:
 Transmural (full thickness)
 Laminar (subendocardial)
3. According to age of infarcts:
 Newly formed (acute, recent, fresh)
 Advanced infarcts (old, healed, organised)
