Definition
English
:
A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary
arteries
(
CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
), to obstruction by a
thrombus
(
CORONARY THROMBOSIS
), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of
arterioles
and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood
supply
to the myocardial tissue may result in
necrosis
of cardiac muscle (
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
).
