Ischaemia is the lack of blood supply to a tissue which start anaerobic respiratory mechanisms. Infarction is cell death through apoptosis resulting from prolonged or severe ischaemia.
Clinicaly myocardial infarction will be more painful and is unrelieved by rest.
On ECG infarction will reult in ST segment elevation where ischaemia will result in ST segment depresion (unless it is a posterior MI!). In MI there will also be raised biochemical markers hours later such as creatine kinase and troponin.

Is transmural ischemia due to acute myocardial infarction?
Myocardial ischemia is owing to poor blood supply and infarction is due to no blood supply. The severity of both differs and ischemia can progress to infarction.
Condition associated with servere chest pain and myocardial ischemia?
myocardial infarction
What kinds of health problems can be caused by blockages in coronary arteries?
Myocardial ischemia or infarction. (Heart attack)
What is a heart attack known as?
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).
Abbreviation for myocardial infarction?
The abbreviation for myocardial infarction is M.I.
What about the initials for myocardial infarction?
Myocardial infarction is often signified using the initials MI.
What is the difference between ischaemia and infarction?
Ischemia=decreased oxygen/nutrients Infarction=no blood flow to the area ischemia can leads to infarction. ischemia means, reduced of blood supply to specific organ. while, infarction refers to death tissue.
What is the medical abbreviation meaning heart attack?
MI (myocardial infarction) Acute Myocardial Infarction, or AMI.
Are tissues damaged by myocardial infarction replaced by connective tissue?
Myocardial infarction is more commonly known as a heart attack. Yes, tissues damaged by myocardial infarction are replaced by connective tissue.
What is the condition called when a heart artery is clogged and the heart muscle dies?
Myocardial infarction (heart attack, colloquially speaking).
What can happen when the heart muscle does not get enough blood?
Myocardial ischemia results from the temporary lack of oxygen; if ischemia is prolonged, it could result in permanent damage to the heart muscle. This condition is called myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack.ischemia
Explain what an unheathly lifestyle can do to your coronary arteries?
it will cause deposition of cholesterol in the artery, narrowing it's lumen and may lead to ischemia, and worst obstruction may lead to myocardial infarction.
