  2. Liquefactive necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefactive_necrosis

    Liquefactive necrosis (or colliquative necrosis) is a type of necrosis which results in a transformation of the tissue into a liquid viscous mass. [1] Often it is associated with focal bacterial or fungal infections, and can also manifest as one of the symptoms of an internal chemical burn . [ 2 ]

  3. Myocardial infarction complications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction...

    A myocardial infarction may compromise the function of the heart as a pump for the circulation, a state called heart failure. There are different types of heart failure; left- or right-sided (or bilateral) heart failure may occur depending on the affected part of the heart, and it is a low-output type of failure.

  4. Anemic infarct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemic_infarct

    Ischemic coagulative necrosis results and fibrosis of the affected area develops from the reparative response beginning at the preserved margins and working its way inwards. One exception to coagulative necrosis is the brain, which undergoes liquefactive necrosis in response to infarction. [citation needed]

  5. Coronary ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_ischemia

    If blood flow through the coronary arteries is stopped completely, cardiac muscle cells may die, known as a myocardial infarction, or heart attack. [9] Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of coronary ischemia. [7] Coronary ischemia and coronary artery disease are contributors to the development of heart failure over time. [10]

  6. Myocytolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocytolysis

    Myocytolysis refers to a state of significant damage to cardiac myocytes, muscle cells of the heart, caused by myocardial strain. It was first described in medical literature by Schlesinger and Reiner in 1955. [1] It is considered a type of cellular necrosis. [1] Two types of myocytolysis have been defined: coagulative and colliquative. [1] [2] [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Osmosis/...

    Heart attacks happen when these small arteries become blocked and stop supplying blood to the heart tissue, and if this happens for long enough, heart tissue dies. Almost all heart attacks are ultimately a result of endothelial cell dysfunction, which relates to anything that irritates or inflames the slippery inner lining of the artery—the ...

  8. Polyarteritis nodosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyarteritis_nodosa

    Cardiovascular system: Involvement of the arteries of the heart may cause a heart attack, heart failure, and inflammation of the sac around the heart (pericarditis). [citation needed] Gastrointestinal system: Damage to mesenteric arteries can cause abdominal pain, mesenteric ischemia, and bowel perforation. Abdominal pain may also be seen.

  9. Myocardial scarring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_scarring

    In coronary heart disease, the coronary arteries narrow due to the buildup of atheroma or fatty deposits on the vessel walls. The atheroma causes the blood flow of the arteries to be restricted. [6] By restricting the blood flow, the tissue is still receiving some oxygen, but not enough to sustain the tissue over time. [5]
