Myocardial infarction results from the interruption of blood supply to a part of the heart, causing heart cells to die. This is most due to coronary artery occlusion following the rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. The resulting ischemia and ensuing oxygen shortage, if left untreated for a sufficient period of time, can cause infarction of heart muscle tissue.
