Coronary embolism

Arterial embolism refers to a pathological process in which emboli fall off the heart or the proximal arterial wall or enter the artery from the outside, are pushed to the far side by the blood flow, and block the arterial blood flow, causing ischemia to necrosis of the limbs or internal organs. Acute myocardial infarction (acutemyocardialinfarction) refers to a sudden and complete occlusion of the coronary arteries, myocardial ischemia, injury and necrosis, and an acute ischemic heart disease characterized by severe chest pain, electrocardiogram and dynamic changes in myocardial enzymes. Most of the underlying lesions are coronary atherosclerosis, and a few are other lesions such as acute coronary embolism.
