Diseases
Transmural myocardial infarction, in turn, is considered a particularly severe pathology, when necrotic foci damage the entire thickness of the ventricular wall, from the endocardium to the epicardium.
Myocardial infarction develops because of acute obstruction of the coronary artery. The consequences depend on the degree of obstruction and range from unstable angina to myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation (HSTHM), ST-ST elevation and sudden cardiac death.
