EnglishSpanish
An acute myocardial infarction is a clinical syndrome produced by the lack of arterial oxygen (ischemia) in the muscle tissue of
the heart, in such a prolonged or severe way as to produce tissular necrosis (death of the tissue). Ischemia is usually caused by
the sudden occlusion of one or more branches of the coronary arteries, or by the incapacity of coronary irrigation to adapt to the
need for oxygen as the function of the heart increases during exercise or stress.

La causa de la isquemia suele ser la oclusión súbita de una o más ramas de las arterias coronarias, o bien la falta de adaptación del riego coronario a las necesidades de oxígeno al aumentar la función cardíaca durante el ejercicio o el estrés.
