Elderly people experience various forms of ischemic heart disease - myocardial infarction in the elderly, angina pectoris, atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis, chronic circulatory failure, rhythm disturbances and intermediate forms of coronary insufficiency (small focal myocardial infarction in the elderly and focal myocardial dystrophy).
Small-focal myocardial infarction is a morphologic variant of damage to the muscle tissue of the heart that involves the subendocardial zone, the layer in the endocardium that connects it to the myocardium, and represents a subendocardial infarction.
