technical term related to cardiovascular disease: myocardial infarction

"heart attack" on wikipedia redirects to "myocardial infarction"

q wikipedia
Immediate treatments for a suspected MI include aspirin, which prevents further blood from clotting, and sometimes nitroglycerin to treat chest pain and oxygen

q wikipedia
Ischemic heart disease, which includes MI, angina, and heart failure when it happens after MI, was the leading cause of death for both men and women worldwide in 2011

q wikipedia
An increased incidence of a heart attack is associated with time of day especially in the morning hours, more specifically around 9 am

q wikipedia
Inflammation is known to be an important step in the process of atherosclerotic plaque formation.[48] C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive but nonspecific marker for inflammation. Elevated CRP blood levels, especially measured with high-sensitivity assays, can predict the risk of MI, as well as stroke and development of diabetes

q wikipedia
A STEMI is the combination of symptoms related to poor oxygenation of the heart with elevation of the ST segments on the electrocardiogram followed by an increase in proteins in the blood related to heart muscles death

q wikipedia
An MI requires immediate medical attention. Treatment attempts to save as much viable heart muscle as possible and to prevent further complications, hence the phrase "time is muscle"

q wikipedia
Myocardial infarction is a common presentation of coronary artery disease. The World Health Organization estimated in 2004, that 12.2% of worldwide deaths were from ischemic heart disease;[11] with it being the leading cause of death in high- or middle-income countries and second only to lower respiratory infections in lower-income countries.

Patients who receive stem cell treatment by coronary artery injections of stem cells derived from their own bone marrow after an MI show improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction and end-diastolic volume not seen with placebo.
