2. Arterial occlusion - Wikipedia

   The thrombus deposits on the ruptured plaque to completely block the coronary artery, halting oxygen supply to cardiomyocytes. Under hypoxia, cardiomyocytes perform anaerobic respiration, producing more lactate. [34] [36] With blocked coronary circulation, lactate clearance from cardiomyocytes is also hindered. [36]

   The thrombus then travels downstream to other blood vessels, where the blood clot may partially or completely block blood flow. If the blood flow is completely blocked, cell deaths occur due to the lack of oxygen supply to nearby cells, resulting in necrosis. [81] The narrowing or obstruction of blood flow can occur in any artery within the body.

   The relatively narrow coronary arteries are commonly affected by atherosclerosis and can become blocked, causing angina or a heart attack. The coronary arteries are classified as "terminal circulation", since they represent the only source of blood supply to the myocardium; there is very little redundant blood supply, that is why blockage of ...
